That will be all. Speak to the individual in charge for further details.

Are we really still doing this? I told you, I'm not mad anymore.
link Hubert volume_up
But were I to run my mouth excessively, I might well end up angering you again.
link Hubert volume_up
And as it seems even my apologies can produce misunderstandings, I suspect the pair of us are sadly ill-matched.
link Hapi volume_up
That wasn't your fault. I should've accepted your apology. I was just being stubborn.
link Hapi volume_up
Wait. That smell. Is that coffee?
link Hubert volume_up
You know of it, then? You did not seem familiar when I mentioned it the other day.
link Hapi volume_up
Coco made me some recently, and it was delicious.
link Hapi volume_up
Sounds like it's pricey though. There was only enough for me to have one cup.
link Hapi volume_up
Is that what you usually drink?
link Hubert volume_up
Inasmuch as it serves as my substitute for tea, yes.
link Hubert volume_up
However, I find it strange that Constance would consider the price of coffee to be an impediment, given how highly she is compensated.
link Hapi volume_up
Probably because she's always blowing her coin on materials for her latest experiments.
link Hubert volume_up
I see. Well then, allow me to invite you not to a tea party, but a coffee party.
link Hapi volume_up
Wait, are you sure? Because I'm in if you're buying.
link Hapi volume_up
This is so good.
link Hapi volume_up
I just can't get enough of that bitterness.
link Hubert volume_up
Yes, coffee has a full-bodied richness which cannot be enjoyed in any other beverage—to say nothing of the wondrous aroma.
link Hapi volume_up
Actually, I think the smell on this is stronger than the one Coco made me.
link Hubert volume_up
As with tea, there are many ways to brew coffee.
link Hubert volume_up
A noteworthy feature of the beverage is that the final product can vary greatly depending on the degree to which the beans have been roasted.
link Hapi volume_up
Sorry, beans? This has beans in it?
link Hapi volume_up
Come to think of it, Coco did mention something about how she had to massacre some beans to make hers.
link Hubert volume_up
I assume you speak of the grinding process.
link Hubert volume_up
I must say, I am surprised that you enjoy coffee. It is most unexpected that we would have this in common.
link Hubert volume_up
There are many who dislike it—and some among that number even go so far as to criticize it as no more than "hot bean-water."
link Hapi volume_up
Aw, too bad. Looks like it's gone.
link Hubert volume_up
There is more. By all means, help yourself.
link Hapi volume_up
Really? Don't mind if I do.
link Hapi volume_up
If only I could feel this relaxed all the time. *sigh*
link Hubert volume_up
Gah!
link Hapi volume_up
Uh oh.
link Hubert volume_up
How foolish of me. To think that I, of all people, did not anticipate such an outcome.
link Hubert volume_up
Though it is certainly better than a sigh of displeasure. Regardless, I believe we have some monsters to dispatch.
link Hapi volume_up
I called them, so I should deal with them. Consider it a bit of light exercise after all that coffee.
link ??? volume_up
Augh! Monsters! Monsters everywhere!
link Hubert volume_up
Heh. I shall take it upon myself later to mislead them as to the cause of this sudden attack.
link Hapi volume_up
Thanks, Bert. Now let's get to it.
