Tea

Seam personally was a little startled at Jevil when he showed up. Seam had never been good at making people laugh- so the kings decided on getting a jester to go with the magician.

The thing that really took him by surprise was Jevil's energy. The guy acted like he consumed copious amounts of coffee and lived off of expresso. He defied gravity sometimes and his tail still managed to hold him up considering how he seemed to only eat candy and carnival foods. At least his constant movement seemed to balance his meals. But he was great at his job and he toned it down a little when with Seam as to not give him a heart attack, so he was fine in Seam's eye...s.

"...I don't like it." Jevil stared accusingly at the tea Seam had offered. "It smells weird, weird."

"You...didn't even taste it. And that's probably because you only eat candy. When was the last time you ate normally?"

Jevil gave him an incredulous look. "Says you and your gross, gross green tree things!"

"That, Jevil, is called broccoli."

"Well I don't like it!" Jevil stuck out his tongue and crossed his arms, sitting mid-air and letting his tail support his weight. "You all eat weird, weird things! I am getting a normal amount of sugar, thank you very, very much!"

"Sure you are..." Seam muttered. "You can't just live off of sugar. I'm surprised you haven't dropped dead yet from heart failure."

"I can say the same for you!" Jevil huffed, making a face. "But I'll try the camp-o-meal tea thing if it'll make you happy, happy!" he picked up the teacup and squinted at it, not even holding it by the handle. Seam sighed.

"It's pronounced chamomile, and that's not even what kind of t- ah, just...try it." Seam watched as Jevil took a sip of the drink and made a face. It...wasn't disgust, but it certainly wasn't a good expression either.

"...what kind of tea, tea is this?" Jevil asked slowly. "It tastes leafy, leafy."

"Catnip." Seam said calmly, keeping a perfectly straight face. He could practically see the gears in Jevil's head turning as he processed what he had just consumed.

"...o-oh."
