The courtesan poured from the teapot into the fairness cup, mixing the water and steeped flavanols before splitting it into two dainty cups.
The client took a cup and sipped. “This ceremony soothes me.”
The courtesan nodded. “As it was designed to.”
This was written for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt #121, teapot. I considered writing about the Teapot Dome scandal, but I just couldn’t fit it into 42 words! 😦
So here you go – hopefully something calm, soothing, and visual.

A very nice piece.
Thanks!
You achieved your goal. Very nicely done.
Glad it was peaceful!
As elegant as the ceremony, and as calming. Shame I only drink coffee. 🙂
That’s ok! I’m a tea person myself, and I tend to like greens and whites.
Maybe be scandalous next time.
Go straight to the sex bits, right?
😀 Sure.
It must be so soothing to have someone prepare it for us like this.
I like to watch people prepare stuff quietly on youtube. I think I must be weird that way!
Oh yeah. I have spent hours watching that young man make his pool with his hands; or making anything that is made with their hands…
I like the Ration Reviewers, 18th Century Cooking, and Hidamari Cooking.
So many things we can watch to while away the hours…
