[Lorenz starts a bit when he hears her clear her throat and he turns quickly.]
Ah, Edelgard! Yes, I've just finished preparing—
[He glances back at the setup, then quickly lights a flame below the setup for the tea kettle to get that started before turning back like he didn't just do that.]
Thank you for agreeing to join me. Please, take a seat.
[He gestures for her to join him and takes his seat, immediately setting about checking the tea kettle and ensuring everything is just so. While he usually is fairly picky about tea time, he usually isn't quite... this wound-up...
It's partially because it's Edelgard, the imperial princess, and a substandard tea time is unacceptable. It's partially because it's Edelgard, his soulmate, and anything less than perfection would be be an insult. And it's partially because Lorenz is just picky in general, but that's not important.
Despite this, he doesn't seem agitated or nervous. Everything has been painstakingly chosen and prepared for, but he isn't stressed at all about it. This is entirely a labor of love, and one he's very clearly proud about.]
