Jean will probably be roped into helping by the end of the visit, and he's perfectly okay with that. For now, he laughs a bit under his breath when Levi asks if he's trying to butter him up.
"I think I'd be a little less obvious if I was trying to," he calls back while Levi removes his cleaning attire. In that time, he sets the container down on the kitchen table, and sets the kettle to boiling after refreshing the water. He lets Levi have first go of the tea, instead finding where he keeps their plates and taking two out, to place them next to the container of tarts.
The tea cupboard is practically overflowing - or Levi's version of it, considering each tea is meticulously labeled and contained if it didn't come in its own box. Jean selects a variety that uses bergamot oil, setting it aside next to the mug that is 'his', and moving back to the table.
"They're apple tarts. I'm trying to tweak the recipe a little, since they're too sweet for me." And probably for most of the rest of them.
