At least it wasn't hot water...yet. :)
Really now, after getting all excited like that, what was she going to do if it was a different bounty hunter and magician assistant from Widdershins?
Offer them tea.
It's a constant really.
If you're at a British person's house and they haven't offered you tea yet, probably you've mortally offended them somehow.
And if a British person is at your house and you haven't offered them tea yet, you may have mortally offended them. (Speaking as a formerly clueless hostess.)
Why sounding so cold when apologising sincerely, tho ? :|
Methinks that's to depict the sinking feeling of embarrassment she feels as she says it.
It's the word balloon. That style is normally used to indicate someone speaking "coldly" (i.e. with obvious but contained dislike).
True. But in this case, according to context, I rather think it was meant to denote embarrassment, even though that is not most often the way that speech balloon shape is used.
Could have been worse. Ms Barber could have got her pipe wet.
