that has to suck. even if they don't realize it. i wouldn't want to relive every three years like that. or three days. or a year. or a day. even if i didn't know it.
wait...that could still happen to us if we didn't know it, couldn't it?
[ She was just looking out for him. He could appreciate that much, right? ]
you better visit me. i can make something safe for you. and i learned to make tea!
Best not to ask questions you already know the answer to.
[ Which is a roundabout way of saying yes without having to be the one that actively strikes the fear of a time loop into her. At mention of safe food and tea, though... ]
It's ok, at this point I'm pretty sure it'd take more than a bad meal to take me out.
Oh yeah? That's a precious resource these days, I amazed anyone took the chance to teach you. Make sure to set some aside unless they change their mind about the generosity before I get there.
you could have just said yes. [Because why not go there when she already asked. If they end up in a timeloop, though, she'll figure that out then, rather than be too afraid, or stress about it. It's good to be armed with the truth, so she thinks. Maybe it's that direct approach of hers that keeps her from being too worried about it. She would think it's kind he was attempting to prevent anything, though.]
you haven't eaten xie lian's cooking, have you?
i had to figure it out with us running a restaurant and all hands on deck, sometimes. plus i was a blessed child so i got tea as payment sometimes.
so yes. we could have had this conversation before. good to know. i think if we end up in one, though, we'll figure it out, eventually. if you end up in with me but remember stuff, you should just get to the point with me as fast as possible so you don't have to explain things every time.
good. [Look, maybe Strange needs his ego knocked down once in a while, but America would feel responsible to take care of him while he's ill, and they both probably don't want that.]
got it. i'll make a cup for you for free, but if you want the actual herbs you can have some for some food.
[Done! She could use some actual currency for more food.]

[ Let's not start having to deal with time travel as a standard practice in this world on top of everything else, please... ]
Wow. What a glowing review. I can't wait to visit.
[ 'The food here is toxic' is not what he was expecting to get out of this conversation, brutal. ]

[ There may or may not be little bit of sass right back in that one, but text keeps things nice and neutral. ]
Ok, ok. Note taken.
[ He'll Beware The Cooking. ]
Oh. So you're the tea breadwinner? In that case, set some aside anyway, I've been meaning to start a stash.
[ Be his tea dealer, America, he'll owe you. ]
