> Abscond. Disengage. Flee. With haste. And eggs.
Yes. Naturally. There is no need to create a scene of your own. Not all acts need to be met reciprocally and in the immediate term. Better you escape to plot your vengeance.
FERDINAND possesses an odd countenance at present, possibly due to concern about your next course of action (given his awareness of your HISTORY)—that, or he is simply nauseated by the din. You attempt to communicate your decision to choose patience via another "earnest expression," then take your leave.
And of course in your brief absence, THE PROFESSOR has found her way to LADY EDELGARD. How quaint. You suppose you ought to have expected this, given the time; she is likely well into her social breakfasts by now rather than her functional meals, so it is not surprising that she would abandon her gluttonous cohort in favor of other priorities.
At least HER MAJESTY is pleased that you have returned with her BREAKFAST, though you suspect her relief is more in relation to the fact that the dining hall’s walls are still intact and the day’s casualties yet number zero. You take no pleasure in the thought that she considers you capable of such wanton destruction—you very much are, of course, should she like a demonstration now, or ever, at any time, whenever she’d like.
Alluring as the image is, your thoughts are pulled away from devastation when LADY EDELGARD asks if you, FERDINAND, and DOROTHEA would like to take BREAKFAST together with her and the PROFESSOR—a question which gives you pause. Brilliant as the EMPEROR is, she ought to know better than to ask your opinion on personal matters. She has made it clear (on multiple occasions, and despite substantial debate) that mealtime companionship is not explicitly in your JOB description, but you do enjoy her company, and it could be tolerable to pass a few more minutes in conversation with the PROFESSOR and DOROTHEA. However, you fear for the dining hall’s structural integrity should you linger long within visual distance of the MEATHEAD SQUAD, and you were rather hoping to spend a bit more time alone with FERDINAND.
To ensure he does not disturb HER MAJESTY or anyone else’s meals with his boisterousness and handsomeness and volume. And for no other reasons.
Oh dear. All this WARPING on an empty stomach has left you somewhat disoriented: your thoughts are a muddle, and you are uncertain of how to respond.
How shall you BREAKFAST?
Breakfast with LADY EDELGARD, DOROTHEA, FERDINAND, and THE PROFESSOR.
Abandon the EMPEROR. Feast with FERDINAND.
Leave all to their own devices and take your meal in solitude.
OTHER: An alternative arrangement.
