Caduceus was used to getting tested from time to time, so it wasn't exactly a new thing, just the topic of said teasing that was new. Still, it was fun and the cheeky glint in Jim's eyes as he playfully poked at him, well, it was worth it just to see that.

"Actually? No, not really, but also kinda yes?" He admitted, speaking honestly and freely as he so often did. It wasn't as if he truly needed calming but it sure as heck would help! Caduceus wasn't used to so much attention on just him, as nice as it was, it was also very new to him.

As Jim help open the door, Caduceus ducked down, to make sure there was no unexpected bump to his head, and looked around with a pleased smile. "Don't s'pose they have a garden?" If not, he'd gladly take a table with Jim by a window or maybe by some potted plants. Smiling as the few people inside looked over curiously, then back to their own business, Caduceus took in a deep breath and smiled wider, more relaxed. "It smells like a good feeling in here. I think their tea will be just fine."
