[ In the Sanctum, it's easy to conjure tea, which Stephen does without even a wave of his hands. The tea is in a cup made of a bamboo segment, and warm like it'd been newly poured and left a few seconds to bring it down from burning temperature.
The cup floats a few inches away from Mantis' fingers so she can reach it easily, like an offering. Stephen doesn't look up from his book, but feels a smile threaten to break onto his mouth. ]

[ she's sitting close enough to him that she see what he's reading, though she doubts she can actually understand the language. she does feel a little like she's imposing, as she often does with people outside of the guardians; social interactions are still a little tricky for her, much less one right after waking up from a night she doesn't really remember too much about. ]
