It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

[It's so clear he's making an effort to not be an asshole when he's clearly an asshole and honestly Ana can't tell if she's appalled or thinks it's hilarious.
She takes a mug, a tea strainer a tin of loose leaf tea from the cabinets.]
Might I ask why you can't, or am I overstepping my bounds?
[ Snorts, and takes the items she offers, though he sets the tea strainer down so he can focus on the tin. He even manages to get the spoon into the tea tin like a normal person, though it's maybe abnormally soon after she's removed the lid, and then just... stands there. Tea-filled spoon in hand as he glares slightly at the counter, eyes flicking back and forth like he's searching for something. His gaze passes over both the strainer and the mug she'd pulled down earlier without pausing, like they don't register at all ]
[ He extends his free hand out towards the counter, slowly, palm spread--trying to search the missing items out by feel, but gently, like he knows he could knock them over. ]
[ yesssss, he, Diego Brando, has found the mug. A victory, for him.
He places his free hand on it, and then frowns again. Instead he places the hand holding the spoon on the mug, just resting his hand there to keep track of it, and gropes around the counter for the tea strainer. Fortunately it's near enough by that he doesn't knock anything off the counter or otherwise before he finds it, and he looks downright pleased with himself as he gets the strainer into the mug and the tea into the strainer ]

[ He sounds so proud, all proper English accent and everything--more proper than it'd been a few moments ago, even. He gestures at the cup she holds ]
I'd like some tea, but I can't make it for myself.

She chuckles.]
A British man who can't make tea, what are the odds. [She says as she gets up to go make him tea.] Don't worry, I'll show you.

[ He follows her, trailing slightly behind ]

[Mm the sass is thick but she's still got humor in her voice.]
What's stopped you from learning such a.. [she hesitates to say] skill?
no subject
[ Perhaps the slightest edge of fussiness. Diego Brando does not want to be mocked! Even lightly by grandmas! ]

[This is legitimately confusing.]
no subject
[ Trying real hard not to be snotty. So hard ]
Are you making the tea now.
[ It's too flat to really pass as a question, but he's making. An effort. ]

[Cuz there's clearly a story here.]

I could do it if you handed things to me.

If you're sure.

Where did they go...? Point them out.

There, you see. I'm hardly incapable.
