[If there was one thing Jeralt (and his tavern tab skipping ways) have taught Byleth, it was to never refuse free food.]
Thank you, Claude, that's kind of you. In which case, would you mind if I order a few other things from this menu? Jeralt always said to take advantage of a man's open offer for food.
[Ah, Jeralt. How very... mercenary of him. Claude laughs at just how brazen that is, and he has to respect it, in a way.] Well, if your dad said it, I can't say no to that. Order as much as you want.
[Their first orders arrive shortly thereafter, and Claude leaves his tea to steep as he looks to Byleth.]
So, what else are you gonna go for? [Jeralt aside... Okay, maybe he just wants to spoil Byleth a bit.]
[Byleth visibly perked up at being given the go ahead to order more food, and he perused the menu as their first orders arrived. At Claude's question, he lowered the menu and pointed:]
These ones: brunsviger, kuih lapis and cotton cheesecake.
[Perhaps he's being a little too greedy, but Byleth was rarely given a chance to indulge in sweet things like this, due to the fact they were normally something only the nobility enjoyed. Most treats for commoners were unsweetened, as sugar was so expensive, and jam got rather samey after a while.]
They sound sweet, and novel. I'm curious to try them.

[A pause, and then, almost tentatively, Byleth attempted to joke:]
Also... I enjoy anything that involves food. Moreso, if it is free.

[He quirks a smile and relents.] Nah, I'm joking. I was already planning to pay for yours.
