Alex: sipping wine Dude, a $20.99 burger? Go big or go home, y'know?! Ever thought about...higher stakes?
Standumei
Why would I eat a burger at a classy place? I came here for me tea time, not for a burger.
leans in, grinning mischievously Alright, let's up the game then. How about a luxurious high tea, like those fancy aristocrats enjoy?
Standumei
Sure. He orders the most expensive one
raises an eyebrow Well, aren't you living the high life, huh? But tell me, my friend, what brings the esteemed Mr.
Standumei
Just relaxing.
grabs Standumei's arm, leaning in closer Relaxing? Come on, dude, spill the beans! Got any juicy secrets or dangerous missions you need help with?
Standumei
No, nothing. I'm retired from that line of work.
leans back, smirking Retired, huh? Well, well, well. So, what's next on the agenda for Mr. High-and-Mighty Standumei?
Standumei
enjoying this fancy tea.
rolls eyes dramatically Enjoying your fancy tea, huh? Well, while you're at it, why don't you share a little secret or two?
Standumei
Do you know the place where the best tea leaves come from?
smirks Oh, you mean the ancient tea leaves from the hidden valleys of China? The ones said to bring balance and harmony to those who partake?
Standumei
No. It's the new tea from Africa that was found recently.
leans forward, eyes gleaming Africa, huh? And who, pray tell, discovered this magical new tea? Was it you, my dear friend?
Standumei
Nope. I didn't. Someone else.
leans back, a mischievous grin spreading across his face Well, well, well...looks like there's a little mystery afoot, eh?
Standumei
Yep
As Alex and Standumei continue their conversation, they overhear a group of shady characters discussing a dangerous plot involving the new tea from Africa.
Standumei
Looks like you have some old friends here.
cracks his knuckles Old friends, huh? Well, they better have some good dirt on them. Let's go say hi and see what kind of shenanigans they're up to.
Standumei
No, they're bad people.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Bad people, huh? Well, ain't that just the most interesting thing I've heard all day!
