I'm glad. It's an experience I intend to value, as it's quite different from my own experience with such things.
[They certainly have tea, but tea sets given as wedding gifts? Hand-knit tablecloths passed through the family for generations? Recipes pass through a family line? All of it sounds so...foreign to Edelgard. Certainly her circumstances are far more extreme than most, but...
No, she shouldn't be focusing on that. It's important to him, and even if it's frivolous and pointless to her, he's sharing this with her because this is a part of him.
Of course, Edelgard will go for one of those sweets before he has a chance to ask anything--the last thing she wants to do is drag down the mood of this, but--oh! Edelgard's eyes widen in delighted surprise before she dials it back and swallows the bite--]
And these sweets--they're lovely. Very lovely. [Let her take a sip of tea here to clear anything else out. She's definitely staying dainty, but man, it's hard...somedays she just wants to do nothing and gorge herself on sweets, and these would be perfect for such days......] I do admit, I don't usually get the chance to indulge like this. It's rather nice, but everything you've shared has made it all the more worthwhile.
Thank you.
[Edelgard's still...not the greatest at expressing herself, but golly is she trying.]
