[ Thank you for taking mercy on him, Dimitri. ]

It was lovely. Nice and warm, and such interesting and unusual Paliens to meet. Perhaps you'd like to go with me next time? Though I know you are rather busy but... well, I wouldn't mind getting to spend more time with you.

He did! At least... I think so? He made that sound. You know, the one he makes when he thinks something is pretty tasty? Or maybe that was a different sound.

I defer to you, as the Dedue expert.

[Ah - it's a good thing Dimitri was already heated up. Getting that invitation sure gets him a little bit flustered.]

It would be nice to do so. I k now that Vermillion makes it quite easy to go for day trips and the like.

I am quite familiar with the sound that you are describing, although Dedue does not always make himself so obvious. It must have been quite a good drink to satisfy him to such a degree.

Can you recall the name of the drink?

Then let's plan for it. When ever you have some free time.

Hmm. I think maybe it was a Pinap Colada? Or was it... no, that had to have been it. It was kind of a smoothie sort of situation? All cold and chunky?

Why? Planning on surprising him? You know, you were basically all he talked about.

That may take some time, but I will absolutely prepare for a while to be free. I would like to enjoy time with you as well, Professor.

I will see if I can look into these Pinap Coladas, then. Perhaps it will be something that we can make here at home.

Oh, is that so? I hope it was not too much, Professor. I do wish he could enjoy some vacation time to himself without getting caught up in what he believes to be his duties.

That's fine, I understand you have so much on your plate. I don't mind waiting.

It seemed simple enough? And no, it wasn't a bother or anything. And it wasn't so much about duty as it was about you. Would be it that I could find someone who cares for me as much as Dedue cares for you. I think I would want for nothing.

I do not want to keep you waiting for long, Professor.

[Especially when he just goes and SAYS things like that!!! Dimitri feels something overwhelming in his chest that makes him want to leap to his feet and find the professor as soon as possible. He doesn't know how he manages to restrain himself, quite frankly.]

We care for you deeply, Professor. All of us do, with intensity like the stars.

Oh

wow thank you i [ Extremely touching. Dimitri has a way with words and boy if this doesn't make him wish he had an easier time trying to cry because HE'D LIKE TO. ]

that's very cool.

[ NAILED IT. ]

[That is certainly a response! Dimitri wishes, for a moment, that he could be there in front of Byleth. Maybe it would be a little easier to read him, what he means by that, but..]

[Well, until he can give his answer, he doesn't have the right to demand such things.]

It is the least I can say right now.

Did you enjoy the drinks as well?

Ah, well you do have a way with words.

Yeah. Very sweet. It seems like the sweet ones get you drunk faster.

Thank you for the compliment. I suppose my education in Fhirdiad was good enough for something.

Are the sweet ones often brightly colored?

It was good for plenty.

They are. They often include things like fruit, or tiny umbrellas. Not sure about the umbrellas but hey. Free fruit.

As long as you think so, Professor, then I will be thankful for it.

I know that some fruits are paired with wines, and the like. That was a large part of my education, in matching them perfectly, or getting someone who could. I wouldn't have thought to include them automatically with a drink, but it is nice that they were. Free fruit is indeed nice.

I wonder why the small umbrellas are included?

Yeah, it's less of a pairing thing and more of a whole

fruit

situation?

The umbrellas? Maybe to make it cute? Novelty? I gave one to Felim and he liked it.

Do they give you the entirety of the fruit or just a slice of it?

A slice usually, but its a pretty decent sized slice. Like, the ones with the "pineapple" are very big.

I think they could add more fruit, then.

[Just stick a whole pineapple on a skewer and shove it in there, that should be fine]

There's something to be said for the logistics of that, but... I really can't disagree. They should.

I will have to see what I can do with fruit when I try to recreate the drink for Dedue.

Was there any particular beverage that you enjoyed as well, Professor?

Me? I liked the ones that they blended up with ice and they tasted of strawberries. Honestly though I like just about anything when it comes to drink.

Except scotch. Not a scotch fan.

[The Professor... likes strawberries... Dimitri Will Remember That]

Even if you have a wide variety of drinks you like, it is always good to have one that stands out above the rest.

Is there something wrong with scotch?

That's fair. Hard to separate what I like and what I'm used to. But yes... the fruity things are very nice. And I like the fizzy ones too.

Scotch tastes like someone boiled socks in butter and then threw them on a barbecue.

Oh, I really do like the fizzy drinks as well. I know that Felix finds them unpleasant, as they apparently are far too sweet for his liking, but the feeling of the bubbles popping is so delightful. It feels much better than champagne too.

That is quite the description, Professor.

Yeah they feel funny. Even if they make me sneeze, I like them.

It's a correct one, too. You'd probably like it for the mouth-feel though, it's very smooth and a bit thick.

[ Yes. The mouth-feel. ]

[Professor, please stop calling him out so publicly on all his issues... Now the others might know he doesn't taste!!!! Hopefully not. Dimitri doesn't like bringing it up.]

Is that so? That may make it nice to drink, then, although I don't think I will ever try it myself. I Do not particularly care for alcohol.

[ Woops. Woops!!! Mostly he just accepts it as a facet of Dimitri and therefor, nothing to be ashamed of, buuuuut Byleth can be a little simple-minded about certain matters. ]

If that's the case then I'd miss it entirely. Just not worth it for how expensive it is.

The other mercs in my father's company would tease me for liking the sweeter things but sometimes you just don't like the taste of moldy liquid bread. "Acquired taste" my ass.
