Loki's Twin, Tony's Sister

Breaking Fast

Upon the new morning, and being woken for breakfast by Kasperie who helped her get dressed. Barely awake Rachel is shuffled to the dining hall once more, and seated one more across from Loki and next to Thor. Taking one look at Rachel, Loki gives a small snort and quickly serves up his sister breakfast placing it in front of her as she blearily looks for something that resembles coffee.

"Sister, there is no coffee here-"

"What?!" Rachel looks at Loki heartbroken and slightly more awake than she was before at the notion of being denied her caffeine fix, Thor snickers into his plate as both Odin and Frigga look at the twins with varying degrees of amusement and worry.

"You are on Asgard Chele, there are many things that Midgard has that we do not. Like coffee beans, which are grown in tropical areas, don't suppose Asgard has something like that hmm? We aren't a globe." Loki gives his sister a smirk, as her face grows more horrified.

"B-but caffeine fix? And coffee?" Her tone taking on a confused lit as it edged terrified and sad.

"What better time to kick an addiction and habit wouldn't you say?" Loki teases as he watches her wake fully as the thought takes hold, the glare he gets for his efforts to wake her up would have scared a lesser being, as for him he starts to laugh a full-body laugh starting with a chuckle ending with him doubled over his arms over his stomach as Rachel continues to glower at him.

"You are addicted to this coffee Dear?" Frigga asks, drawing Rachel's attention, her eyebrows furrowed as concern dominates her features.

"On Midgard coffee is a drink, mostly consumed in the morning, it's completely natural, the beans that are used to make coffee are roasted and then ground up. We pour hot water over the ground-up beans to make the drink, it has a chemical in its genetic makeup that helps with drowsiness." Rachel explains, though sees the continued confusion on Frigga's face, "Caffeine is found in the bean, it can help someone who is tired still, or has been overcome with tiredness to bring them back to wakefulness. My brother, Tony, and I drank it a lot, though when I moved to a different part of Midgard, I started drinking Tea, which is a hot beverage made from a certain type of tree leaves, which also contains caffeine. Subsequently, caffeine has addictive properties, and not having access to it regularly can cause withdrawal symptoms, which likely will hit in the ways of headaches, drowsiness, irritability, and constipation as the most common. The less common ones are more like if you are coming down with an illness or even nausea and vomiting as your body gets used to not having a steady stream of sustenance." Rachel continues to explain, not noticing the growing concern on Frigga's face, or Odin's eyebrows raising in surprise.

"And you ingest this willingly?" Odin asks, surprise colouring his voice, as Rachel nods.

"I never had to worry about withdrawals before, I had it in easy access, and the best way to stop an addiction like caffeine is to slowly wean yourself off of it. Because I am stopping completely quite suddenly I can only imagine what will happen."

"You said constipation is also a symptom of withdrawal?" Frigga asks leaning towards Rachel as though she wants to try to hide the other woman from the nastiness that she is describing.

"Yes, caffeine can help with blockages in your system, it contains something we call a laxative, which just helps soften stool so you can expel it properly. In the absence of caffeine, it can cause the body, which had been relying on the additional help, continue to look for additional help and cause a backup within your system." Rachel said it with little to no emotion, her voice completely clinical in her explanation of the sustenance, "That being said when you just start out drinking coffee, or tea it can cause you to go to the lavatory more than usual as it works its way through."
