"Do you want any honey, sugar or milk in it?" The tea on offer is probably nicer than what's in the dining hall given what he usually has is what ever Norton or Fitz drinks and he feels like they probably have a decent authority on what's good given how much of it they consume.
But, he will get up and go to grab them both a cup of something nice as soon as he gives his answer.
It's actually quicker to go to his own cabin to grab tea, so if it smells better than what's in the dining hall, that's probably why. He's added some honey to his own, but when he comes back, he sets a cup in front of Verso and settles back down, blowing on his cup before taking a sip.
"I'm not a tea snob, but this is good enough for Norton and he drinks tea almost as much as he breathes, so hopefully you like it."
He glances to the cup as it's set down but doesn't move to pick it up, just watching the steam rising from it for a minute. As for Norton... well, he has no idea who Norton is.
"Mm."
Verso just lets the silence hang, no topics coming to mind to raise even if he wanted to talk about something. His thoughts just wander. Rarely to anywhere good.
Ethan is quiet for a few short minutes, warming his hands on his cup. His mind wanders too, though more for topics, things he could ask or talk about.
"Do you have any interests? Maybe we have something in common?" Not that it was a requirement, but it certainly would make it more awkward, "I like to tinker, Red gave me a clock building kit last christmas, though he left out the instructions, so that was interesting...more like a puzzle with a functional clock at the end.
