⠀⠀...Thinking for a moment, and...
⠀⠀“Perhaps it could be someone looking for either one of us, but seeing the other instead...”
⠀⠀She hit the bullseye without even knowing.
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“Is that so? I do not believe we look that much similar...”
⠀⠀Then again, she's experienced seeing what is essentially... no, best not to being that up.
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“...Ah. If I had to guess, is one of them... Wanderer?”
⠀⠀Her head gently tilted at an angle that, if one was mathematically inclined, could be read as a whole number.
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“I... see. Hmm. Very well then...”
⠀⠀...She set that tool holding the leaves back into the water, intent to just... check on that at a later time. Until then...
⠀⠀“There is so much more left for me to learn, I suppose...”

⠀⠀There's also this other earthly smell that seems similar to... wood. Whatever Katheryne made, it's definitely green, metaphorically and, evident from her taking a leaf-bearing tool out of the water... literally, as well.
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀“...Ah, the leaves I used, they're somewhat crushed and torn. I may have forgotten what I put in there after a few... conflicts on my way to this place.”
⠀⠀oh great she doesn't even-
⠀⠀Wait a minute.
⠀⠀The tea smells... grassy? Like grass after a rainy day.

⠀⠀“Oh. Wanderer... I've been trying to get the process of making tea down to a science. So far, I seem to be running into a few difficulties... what I am making always results in ‘tea’, but never quite tastes right...”

⠀⠀...Seems she's holding a cup, too. Maybe it's tea, judging by the heat coming out of it, and what might be a tool for holding the leaves in the water...
