We have much to discuss. [Plus, he needs to show everyone the new Kotatsu.]

February is so close! We have a meeting in the Wardroom tonight. After Haruhi has slept! Make sure no one tells Haruhi about it!

I JUST POINTED AT IT!!! [Feel the intensity of his glare and his voice. Seriously, you want coffee made by Tono?]

[to_theleft]

[He'll accept coffee made by anyone who isn't a Hitachiin. At least if they make it badly, he can make fun of them for it.]

Geeze Tono, I didn't realize your manners had gotten this bad. Maybe we should rethink letting you near any civilised people for a while.

[princelycharm]

What?

What do you mean?

[to_theleft]

You've been here so long, you're becoming a barbarian. [He looks at Tamaki with sad, understanding eyes.] It's okay, Tono - if you don't remember how to serve drinks, you just have to say so.

[princelycharm]

I'm not a barbarian....

[He takes one quick glance at Haruhi before he looks back at Hikaru.]

Are you sure you want me to make your coffee? It'll be my first time to make it after all~!

[to_theleft]

You'll be fine. It's not like it's hard. [He was flat-out lying just now with the barbarian comment, but maybe Tamaki really has forgotten how to do things. Granted, it's not like he's ever made the coffee himself - but it never looked especially hard.] You just put the grind in and pour the water, right? [Right?]

[princelycharm]

I guess you're right...

[He looks at the can of commoner's coffee curiously. He takes some time to remember what Haruhi did the first time she demonstrated. It was one whole table spoon of coffee per cup... at least he thinks it was. So he does so and pours the hot water on top of it and gives it to Hikaru.]

Here you go!

[to_theleft]

[He takes one sip, and suddenly it's like there's a dark cloud over his head. He freezes in complete astonishment - this coffee is terrible! Terrible! He can't drink this. But does he make a fuss about it, or drink it all anyway to prove a point, just in case Tamaki did it on purpose...? Neither of them seem like very good options.

Deciding on a method to rid himself of this burden, he puts the cup down - cushioning its placement with the side of his pinky; old habits die hard - and leans back casually, sticking an arm behind himself to support his weight.]

You can take it away now. Turns out I didn't want it after all. [Said with a careless, one-hand-raised shrug, while looking away. If he can't enjoy a coffee, at least he can take a shot at making it look like an intentional waste of time.]

[princelycharm]

Oh?

[He looked at the other boy innocently.]

But, isn't it rude if you didn't finish your coffee?

[to_theleft]

Yeah, but who cares?

[Did you forget who you're talking to, Tamaki? 'Rude' may as well be his middle name.]

[princelycharm]

[He smiles and takes the cup.

How can he possibly forget.]

Oh well. I suppose you're the barbarian here.

[to_theleft]

I really don't think you have any room to talk, Tono. Besides, there's a difference between being rude and being a barbarian - anyone would be able to tell you that.
