Th-thank you. [He tried to keep up the gaze, but she seemed to turn red and Lee wondered if he said something wrong. At the same time, his own face was flushing somewhat, even as he was confused as to the reason.] Did I... say something wrong...?
[Then he offers her a reassuring smile and raises a thumbs up.]
I know that you will do your best, Yuri-san, and I know that I will be pleased with whatever you prepare! [He hums thoughtfully.] I see. Milk and sugar does sound wise, Yuri-san! Bittersweetness is the flavor of youth, so I would certainly prefer that over pure bitterness! I have made my choice!
No... I just, um... [She's not sure how to explain it when she doesn't quite get it herself.] I guess I just got... overwhelmed by your enthusiasm. [yeah that works.
Yuri finishes pouring the coffee and spares Lee an amused look as she mixes in the requested milk and sugar. When she finishes she stares at the coffee a moment before rummaging around her kitchen for a toothpick. It's not the same as making a design in the foam on a latte or whatever, but there's a cute little leaf design on the top of the coffee. Huzzah.
She brings the cup over to the table and gestures for him to come sit down.] "Sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords." [Yuri pauses and continues softly.] That's what Hisoka always used to say. That the little warmth a cup of coffee can offer can make all the difference.
Then I apologize! I promise to do my best to restrain my enthusiasm in the future! [That might prove to be difficult.
But once the coffee is done, he eagerly zips over to the seating place and listens patiently as she recites that quote. He had heard of coffee, but he never suspected before that it was such a deep matter! Rock Lee tries to wipe at some tears in his eyes when she finishes speaking.]
That- that was very beautifully spoken, Yuri-san! I never knew the secrets behind coffee. [His expression melts more at the sight of the leaf design, and then he looks back at her with a determined look.]
I promise that I will not let this gift of warmth go away! I will treasure it, Yuri-san!!
[Then, he lifts up the mug and... starts chugging it down mercilessly.]
