[ Never even heard of iced tea? Ferdinand, you're a man after his own heart. ]

[ Meanwhile, Valmont is from basically modern-day Earth and just... can't work a stove. The perils of complacency in being rich. He could at least make tea if he had a teapot, but as he's just moved in and hasn't yet had a chance to go shopping, he doesn't. Which is why (though he wouldn't say it in so many words) he's grateful for Ferdinand's arrival. ]
Oh dear, I'm being rude, aren't I? My name is Valmont. Where did you say you were from, Mr. von Aegir?
[ Doesn't know of American tea = probably doesn't know of America = probably from one of the thousand different worlds that apparently just exist now, but he doesn't want to make assumptions. ]
