You wouldn't say you like tea parties, in fact you're not entirely sure you've ever been to one. Spending some time at a cafe or drinking whatever you had at home alone was all you ever truly experienced. Not fancy tea sets, not high quality loose leaf tea, not little cookies and cakes or sandwiches if it was lunch. None of that.
Capitano brings you with him when Sandrone calls. You don't talk much and neither does he as he passes you a cup and teaches you how to participate. Sandrone is harsh but hides care in her cutting words and actions, a lot like Scaramouche but you don't say that out loud. She scolds you on how you hold your cup demonstrating the proper ways and how you make faces at different treats but she brings other snacks subtly adjusts to your tastes.
You warm up to her much like Columbina once you realize the warmth underneath her tone. With the moon goddess you feel a connection with her and she does with you. Maybe it's because you are both far from home doing stuff for others you have little say in trying to find a way back? You're not sure but you do like her singing.
Arlechinno is someone you get along with decently the Knave is quite good at keeping her distance both professionally and personally, even though you feel a little intimidated you talk to her far more than Signora. She doesn't bother you too much you simply don't know how to interact with her just nodding along unsure of what to do or say when she's around.
You don't dislike her, you'd like to get to know her better if she'd let you though you don't know when that would be. Tartaglia is alright as well certainly more friendly but he also confuses you. Maybe you were just the quiet awkward type, you certainly kept to yourself on your home world.
You like being with them though it takes effort to actually join the tea parties without Capitano. Your attachment to him is noted quietly and not exploited but they do sneakily get you to come out of your shell, Arlechinno being a big part of that with Freminet, Lyney, and Lynette's company for tea parties with herself.
Even if you do like the other Harbingers company for tea you still prefer Capitano's. The crackling of the fireplace, the warm cup in your hands, and his comforting presence.
You wonder if he'll bring some back from his next trip. You hope so, the tea parties are dull without him.
