Effective, but sadly, a waste of tea...

He had been making tea with that ugly smudge of a bug landed on the open kitchen window sill. He recognized it as a species of butterfly that some would have loved for such a 'beautiful creature' to grace their presence. Arthur simply ignored it and got back to his tea as he hummed cheerfully, taking out the bottle of grounded nightshade.

The creature flapped it's wings slowly, having just started a new life from his chrysalis, drying them off in the early morning sunlight. It paid no attention to the Englishman, who's pink and blue eyes swirled with incomprehensible madness that not even he himself could fully understand.

So the two, the creature and the country ignored each other. Arthur turned away for a moment, fixing his handy dandy bow tie as he waited for the tea to finish, and making sure his sweater, shirt, and pants were all neat and orderly (He was a gentleman, after all, and rather overly-kind host). Pouring that and a few dashes of nightshade into the tea pot, he reached for the stirring spoon when he noticed the butterfly had circled his head now and was fluttering around the kitchen.

He calmly picked up the stirring utensil, stirred the tea, and instantly washed it, unwilling to leave such a thing in the sink. (There was only one time he allowed himself to be/look messy, and this was made up by keeping his home spotless.) He topped the tea pot off as the butterfly came in for a landing on the counter near the very same window it entered, probably trying to find it's way out.

England took the pot without another word, and tipped it over.

Hot tea splashed all over the butterfly, grounding it instantly right next to the sink that was under the window. It only had a few vain moments to twitch and try to survive, to fly away, but that was deemed an impossible task, and it stilled moments later.

The swirled eyes watched it intently, the pink and blue pupils filled with morbid interest. Once it stopped moving, Arthur's eyes widened.

"Oh Butterscotch!" He... swore? "I've created a mess on the counter." And with a cheerful tune, began to causally clean up the counter, calling out to the guest of the hour that he apologized for taking such a long time, and he and the tea would be along very shortly.

Hm, though from what he could tell, the tea might of needed a dash or two more of Nightshade...
You do realize that Nightshade is a highly poisonous plant, don't you, Arthur?

Of course you do :I


Too... much... awesomeness... on... tumblr... for... p2 Arthur I just don't even---

And I can't draw, so why not :I

Inspired that I killed a bug the exact same way yesterday- Poured hot tea on it. Except it looked like it was already dying and it wasn't a big pretty butterfly. )
