The doctors tea was new and smelled exotic and unfamiliar, a custom blend of herbs, with mint and mango and a dash of cinnamon dancing alien on Wills tongue and olfactory senses.

Will choked on his tea as though he had swallowed tadpoles when he heard the comment slip by his husband's lips without a bat of an eye.

Hannibal had been scrolling through either Twitter or Tattlecrime the moment he said it, and somehow continued swiping and reading without another glance.

Will took a deep inhale of the burnt umber colored tea in his delicate china cup, taking a cautionary sip of the warm liquid. He didn't smell any pot or drugs, none recognizable from his collage days at least, and looked up at his partner with a crinkled expression and confusion woven clear in his eyes.
