Levi was silent for a moment when he heard that.

"Quite a bit?" he asked.

"Uh.... hm." he muttered.

"What... what does that mean, exactly?" he asked.

"I mean, you only look a few years older than me." he commented.

"...actually, it's rude to ask someone their age." he then vocalized.

"Sorry." he apologized.

Levi was silent for a moment.

"Wait..." he said.

"You've already started a company around tea?" he asked her.

"Wow." he muttered.

"That's really awesome." he told her.

"Not many people around our age can claim they've started a company." he said.

"And thank you for the personalized tea." he added.

"...well..." Levi mumbled. "Yeah... I DO tend to be on-edge, to... put it lightly." he admitted.

"Anything that takes the edge off of that is greatly appreciated." he told her.

"So... this would be a great help, yeah." he said further.

"But... that's really good tea." he reiterated.

"You could totally make a business out of this." he told her.

Levi shook his head.

"No. No, allergies." he told her.

He then brought the mug to his mouth, blew lightly on it to get the steam away, and cool the surface a little, before letting the liquid hit his lips, and enter his mouth.

He took a quick sip, before bringing the mug back down, and pausing.

".....woah." he said.

"That's really tasty." he commented.

"And... relaxing, oddly enough."

"A new blend?" Levi asked.

"...wait, so is this some kind of sample you got from a company?" he asked her. "Like, are you a representative or saleswoman or something?" he asked further.

"Or... wait..." he then mumbled, looking at the tea again.

"No one else..." he said.

"Did you MAKE this tea from scratch?"

Levi's eyes widened when he saw this happen.

"Woah." he said.

"I didn't know mana could do stuff like THAT." he commented.

"That's SO cool." he continued, before the aroma of the now-hot tea reached his nose.

"....and this smells really nice." he told her.

"Really... calming and relaxing."

"Magic?" Levi asked.

"Like... 'magic'-magic? Or mana-magic?" he asked further, as he stepped forward.

"I admit, I'm very curious." he told her.

"But very... hesitant... as well." he then admitted further.

"I don't know what to expect here."

"..........." Gregory was silent for a moment, before sighing.

"Yeah." he said.

"I... yeah. Can't argue that." he admitted.

Meanwhile, Levi rushed downstairs, but paused when he entered the kitchen. He looked around, and seemed to be sniffing the air slightly.

"......huh." he said.

"Something smells... like some nice potpourri." he commented, sniffing the air.

Levi quickly made his way upstairs, and grabbed the book.

"...be right back." he said to Madison, before leaving with the tome.

".......seems like an all right kid." Gregory said as he appeared.

"Bit high strung and paranoid." he then commented.

"But... overall, good kid."

Levi led her to the kitchen that they had, and showed her where several things were... mostly things she might need or want. Kettle, mugs, silverwear, etc.

"I'll... be right back." he then told her.

"I need to get the book." he said.

"Bring it down here so you can see it and take it back, and yeah." he said further, clearly a little awkward around her.

"........." Levi was silent for a moment.

"Uh... I, uh..." he stammered, before sighing.

"Right." he said.

"A guinea pig?" he asked her.

"Sure. I've been one in the past." he told her further.

"Anyway, I suppose you'll need to use our kitchen?" he then inquired.

Levi blinked a couple of times when she said what she did.

"Uh, yeah." he said.

"That's... that's me." he told her, before stepping out of the way.

"Come in." he invited her.

"I must admit, you caught me off guard." he said further. "I'm not used to people coming in the back way."

Meanwhile, inside, Levi looked in the direction of where the knocking had come from.

"....what....?" he muttered.

"That... was the BACK door..." he said.

"THAT'S a new one..." he mumbled, before getting up, and looking at Madison.

"I... assume this is whom I am expecting." he said to her.

"....right?"

"Tea?" Levi asked.

"Yeah." he said.

"I do." he told her.

"I really like tea." he added.

"Oh, right." he then muttered, before giving her his address.

"Just... let me know when you get here."
