Oh, look at that, it's immediately time to put all his attention back on his tea!

If he is this jittery already, he decides, it will be a terrible idea to add any coffee to the mix, no matter how small a cup. Tea will suffice. Tea will get him through the day. It was not a completely sleepless night, after all, and at least some of the hours he couldn't sleep were... peaceful.

(Even just the memory of Lan Zhan's song slows his racing mind by a pace or two.)

As much as he tries to savor his cup, though, it feels like hardly any time at all before it sits empty in his hands.
