"The Captain is young though, aren't they...?
Actually, despite that, it's been hard to get a pinpoint on their age."
Lips outing, she looked down to the ground as her mind quickly shifted to the topic of the Singularity's age.
"It's one enigma I've yet to understand..."

blink, blink.
so that’s what it’s about, hm…
“ Who cares what other people think?
What matters is what you prefer.
Besides, there’s adults who enjoy it with milk.
Such as one instance of the captain I had met… “
🏳️⚧️ Looking down from ethereal skies...
"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? “ 💧
🏳️⚧️ Looking down from ethereal skies...
[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.
