Hubert & Ferdinand A+

Hubert
Hello, Ferdinand. Wait—that aroma...

Ferdinand
Your nose is as sharp as ever, Hubert. Yes, it is a bag of fresh coffee beans.

Hubert
Why did you buy coffee? You said you don't care for it.

Ferdinand
My stance has not changed. Drab, bitter, with that muddy texture. If I have even a sip, my hands start to tremble.

Hubert
Rather harsh. What are you doing with it, then?

Ferdinand
Well, you see— Wait a moment. What is that? Is that an imported tea from the east?

Hubert
It is indeed. Keen eyes.

Ferdinand
Flaunting my favorite drink, right in front of me! And you do not even drink tea. Fiendish.

Ferdinand
It is for Edelgard, I assume?

Hubert
Before I answer that, I would like to know what you are doing with the coffee.

Ferdinand
Well, I...

Hubert
Is it a gift? Perhaps for someone you fancy?

Ferdinand
A gift, yes. For you.

Hubert
Hm. Who is the unlucky— Did you say for me?!

Hubert
This coffee is a gift for me? Have I heard you correctly?

Ferdinand
Yes. That is what I said. A noble does not go back on his word. Just take it.

Hubert
I should decline.

Ferdinand
Why?

Hubert
The thought of receiving a gift from you, unbidden and unreciprocated, fills me with revulsion.

Hubert
Therefore...accept this tea. As a gift. From me.

Ferdinand
For me? Are you certain? I would hate to deprive the intended recipient of such a fine tea.

Hubert
That would be difficult to do, since I bought it with you in mind.

Ferdinand
Oh, in that case, thank— What?

Ferdinand
You were planning to give this to me all along?

Hubert
That is what I said.

Ferdinand
Really? I... Hahaha!

Hubert
Hahaha

Ferdinand
Only one thing to do. We must take a tea break.

Hubert
Very well. But tea is not what I will be drinking.

Ferdinand
Of course. I will make you some coffee.

Hubert
Then I will prepare the tea.
