An Uncomfortable Tea Party.

Chococat and Totoro decided to have a tea party.
Totoro wore a tres chique top hat with a white bow that she'd bought with her prize money from last year's Springfield Derby.
Chococat wore nothing, as usual.

Presently Totoro poured the tea.
"What is this?" she frowned, staring at the pale leaves that had accumulated in her cup. She stuck her paw in the hot liquid and gave it a sharp spin, but the leaves only drifted feebly along the bottom.
"Jasmine tea, of course," replied Chococat. "Your mother gave it to you, remember?"

Totoro was always doing that, complaining about the tea that she herself had supplied.

"Oh yes," said Totoro, "I remember now. In fact this particular brand was imported from- is there something on my face?"
"No."
"Then why were you-"
"It's nothing," said Chococat. "You look pretty today, that's all."

Totoro smiled. Chococat tried to.

Totoro stood up. "I'm tired. I want to go home."
"You are home, honey," said Chococat. Totoro was always doing this too, ending the tea parties ten minutes after they started.
"Then I want you to go home."
"You..."
"Go."

Chococat and Totoro looked at each other, the latter oblivious, the former
decidedly
uncomfortable.


This is completely made-up, by the way.
Except for the fact that Chococat and Totoro are soft toys belonging, I think, to LadyLilith-Mirae on Deviantart.
She'd probably hate me for ruining that adorable image of the tea party by the Christmas tree that she submitted. eh.
