Mitsuko enjoyed seeing Shichirou enjoying himself more then he thought he ever would. He had to agree with his statement about cooking being an art too. "The animals and plants would also be sad if they were wasted away into nothingness after giving their life to sustain us." He could tell that the tea leaves had been threated very carefully and with respect, probably handpicked. It smelled great as he waited for the tea to get a bit stronger before he removed the leaves. Without asking, he plucked a few flowers from the plant on their table and put them in his tea. The last one he gave to Shichi. "Here, these are edible too. They have a sweet taste."
