She's probably got everything she needs to make a pot of tea in her room. When Curtis reached the elevator, though, he hesitated before smacking the down button instead. A short, awkward conversation with Bar gave him a bag with an electric kettle, two mismatched mugs, and a canister of that Earl Grey stuff.

(She said she liked it, too. Why not.)

Now, just outside her door, he hesitates again -- longer this time -- before wedging the bag between his stump and his side so he can knock.

Thump-thump-thump.
