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