Biscuits!

[He's going to call cookies biscuits for awhile now. Beaming, he starts rummaging around.]

Does it matter what flavor they are? Oh, what's in a cucumber sandwich other than cucumbers? That sounds like it might be easy enough to make!

[keepscalm]

Normally you'd pick a biscuit with a milder flavour so that it can soak up the flavour of the tea without overpowering it. But you may pick whatever tickles your fancy. [Quark is just a boy, after all! A boy who is not used to luxurious things, at that. Let him eat biscuits.]

And you can make a cucumber sandwich with cream cheese and salt and pepper on white bread. Usually the crust is cut off and they're served as small triangles or squares.

How about these?

[Quark produces a box of vanilla wafers. They seem mild! And like they'd be good for tea-dunking. He's very careful not to shake the box too much so that there won't be too many broken biscuits inside. With England's approval, he'll start on the hunt for cucumber sandwich ingredients.]

Those should serve our purpose well. [England retrieves the wafers and places them on the counter alongside the mugs for the tea. The kettle is whistling, so England prepares the teabags in the mugs and grabs a couple of saucers, as well.]

This is really exciting!

[An actual hot drink! So cool! It feels really special to be able to do something like this with England. A real learning experience! Quark darts around the kitchen looking for what he needs. He pulls out a cucumber, finds a loaf of sliced bread, salt and pepper shakers, and a package of cream cheese.]

Are you supposed to peel the cucumber before you slice it? I've never had to prepare something this fresh before!

[It's cute that Quark is so excited. It warms England's heart to know that he can help provide the boy with such an experience, not that he'll be saying that out loud anytime soon.

He checks the temperature of the water as he answers Quark.] Yes, peeling them would be wise. Sometimes they end up tasting a bit waxy when you leave the peels on.
