"B-But I've heard that trying it with milk is a great sin! One that is only looked up on when given to children!"
Raziel pokes her fingers together.
"I'm older than most mortals, so... So wouldn't it be a bad look if I savored a taste meant for kids?"
Flustered, her cheeks turn a bright red.

“ Too bitter, hm…? “
he muses out loud to himself, gaze turning away for a few seconds in thought before looking back to her.
“ I normally wouldn’t for my cups, but…adding some milk would be fine. That should cancel out the bitterness.
If you don’t mind, I could be your taste tester. “
🏳️⚧️ Looking down from ethereal skies...
"Yes, of course!"
She bows her head repeatedly.
"I know I should have asked, but I thought it might be nice to surprise you!
... Except all of my attempts have come up short. The coffee tends to come out as *too* bitter..."

she’s terrible at lying, isn’t she…
“ i’m not mad. if anything, i’m glad to hear that you’ve been putting your knowledge towards practice.
…as long as you’ve been cleaning the equipment afterwards. “
🏳️⚧️ Looking down from ethereal skies...
"W-Wait!!!
You weren't supposed to hear that!
I just... Thought it would be nice to put what I've learned about making coffee to use is all!"
She puts her hands up in immediate surrender.

“ …you’ve used my equipment? “ 💧

[Siiiiiiiiip.
Sigh.]
No matter how many recipes I try, the coffee I make just never seems to taste the same as Sandalphon's...
Even when I do use his beans and equipment.
