It's not long at all before Cid's got the tea made to his satisfaction; he's had long years of practice and after a while that sort of thing becomes routine. Or as routine as anything ever got, in Cid's life. But that was somewhat less the point then the fact that in short order a cup of tea was placed in front of Zack, with the expectation that he would at least drink it, if not actually like it.

Further conversation could wait, after all.
