[Edelgard turns back to Lorenz, her expression firm. Her cheeks, however, still...haven't really died down, so they're a pretty deep pink.]
In fact, I would actually like it if we could perhaps share some tea. Should you be amendable, of course.
[This could be a mistake. This could be a huge mistake, really, and while Edelgard is certainly presenting a confident front, her inner voice is telling her to take it back. It's too much, it's going to cause a stir, and she can't afford taking that time.
...Her inner voice sounds a lot like Hubert, really, and perhaps that's what makes it easier to shush for the time being.]
