[Hubert bows, flourishing a hand as he does so, and Edelgard's chair slides out on its own.]
I can only hope it suits your standards, Lady Edelgard.
[It's a good, if extra, poker face. Hubert's certain he followed the instructions to the letter, but the Bond does belie that he's a tad nervous, though.]
[He knew well enough arguing wouldn't get him anyway, and Hubert actually did need to eat, whether it turned out well or not. He takes his seat, but he's certainly still watching Edelgard's expression.]
Your palate is no doubt more discerning than mine. The only thing I seek from food is a full stomach.
[Nevermind that he was one of the pickiest eaters in their class. His grumbling was just quieter than Caspar's.]
[Edelgard skewered a bit of meat, cut it off, and took a bite once he'd sit down. Her expression remains placid and unreadable for a moment...and then she smiles after swallowing.]
[Hubert bows his head briefly while taking up his own silverware, a pleased note in their link. Perhaps this wasn't such a bad idea, after all.]
Thank you, Lady Edelgard. It may be a shadow of Bernadetta's skill, but I should hope it will make things more bearable if we find ourselves without her assistance.
[And then he tries it for himself. It's not the same without Fódlan's ingredients, obviously, but it was rather enjoyable.]
I might even dare say worth venturing into the ceaseless frivolity for. [He says wryly.] Should you wish it another time... I would not mind preparing it.
[And a couple seconds later, Hubert notices her watching. He goes still for an uncertain moment before offer a slight smile, and continuing his meal.]

...Yes this is much better.

[He sets the pan down between the plates, brushing the flower crown carelessly aside.]
So I thought. But just in case, I will be less specific with my requests in the future.

[Really, she'll accept this.
Also, slip in and take the crown for later. Hehe.]

Very well. Now then...

...The presentation is excellent. I would expect nothing less.
[Listen. she's teasing him not tormenting him.]
Come sit with me and your portion, too. We should try this experiment together.

Well done. This is good, Hubert.

It will. Undoubtedly. This was a wise decision, Hubert.
[Very much so!]

Thank you, for being so thoughtful.
