"...chamomile?" She looks at Dimitri, half-cocking her head as she thinks about the question.

...it takes her a moment to place what chamomile might be - medicinally, she's more used to deer antler and mountain deer mint. In terms of food flavors, she lives in a land of jasmine and taro and lotus root, and stranger flavors. But it's not like Guinaifen hadn't traveled around the universe. She ate lizard, she wolfed down olm, she's had an omelette.

So, she's pretty sure she has some idea what chamomile tea is. Well. She knows it's tea, obviously, but-

Anyway.

"It might not be that kind of place, but I haven't actually been inside," Guinaifen says, somewhat apologetically, a little sheepishly: she's letting this guy down in terms of showing him around! Normally, she's more on the ball. Back home, she'd know the seven best places which are in the area and they could pick from them at their leisure. Here, it's the nearsighted leading the blind.

She sidles in again, gives Dimitri a friendly nudge, like they're two chums and hadn't just met not that long ago. (Don't worry about the details! Just go with it.) "To tell you the truth, I've spent so much time trying to get my feet under me - you probably have no idea how hard it is to get a crowd's attention when they don't know what to expect, but trust me, it's pretty rough...anyway. I've spent so much time doing that, I haven't really had a chance to look around?"
