"Oh? Two bitter for you or to strong?" Pantalone asks from the side, curious by the look of utter terror on the man's face.
Someone so big and strong being so frightened was... interesting.
"... Like mud?" he suggested, trying to get a bead on it without having to taste it himself.
Pantalone was from Snezhnaya, a freezing place like Belobog, so he was used to strong drinks.
Although, maybe not Miss Himeko's.
He was surprised by the catch, looking up to see the most handsome- No, the most beautiful knight in literal shining armor he'd ever seen.
Pantalone opened his eyes, gem hued amethyst.
"Oh, thank you, sir," he said, "You just saved me a good deal of pain... literally."
"That bad, hm?" the banker replied, thinking it over. It must be nigh undrinkable then.
"Well, in that case, would you like to try my own brew? I was just about to sit down for a cup and it would be nice to have company."
Plus, Pantalone's wouldn't poison Gepard...
"Thank you, I am very much oblige," he said, neatly taking a seat and waiting. He was curious and besides, he was from Snezhnaya, a freezing region, and use to strong drinks.
Certainly her coffee couldn't be stronger then those... right?

He was falling, having slipped on a patch of ice in his shiny dress shoes.
Oh, for crying out loud. This was going to hurt when he hit the ground.

"Miss Himeko, good morning," Pantalone nodded with a light smile, hands resting on his elegant cane.
"You don't know me, I was merely passing by, but I heard tales of your coffee and wondered if I could try it. I'm a bit of a coffee connoisseur myself."
