"Do you think I could have some milk instead?” her words echoed in his head. [i]I shouldn't have even tried. Now this coffee will go to waste. A waste of resources.[/i] His mind was frowning, but his face tried to keep a calm expression - his left eye twitching only two times before calming down. Even if he was a professional negotiator, mornings were still not his cup of tea. He disliked them - they made him feel more vulnerable than ever. He almost got up as he repeated her words in his head, trying his best not to take the cup and drink it himself. "Fine, you can have some milk. And some food," he said, deciding against serving her himself, "but serve yourself." His words ended sounding a bit stingier than they were supposed to, but it was not like she was trying to be the most polite guest anyways.

"You'll need energy for today. Eat something and get ready for the task at hand." He was rearing to go, but not without going in detail about what needs to be done. And while he'd explain it to her, she might as well grab something to eat. "I'll brief you in on our course of action as you eat. But try not to eat too much, otherwise you'll need to pay me back." He beamed her a sweet smile, although something menacing was beneath it. He was really going to make her pay him back if she spent too much money on his account. "Are you content with eating five hearts today?" 

"That is... only if you'll be able to follow my plan."
