[ Too bad, Edelgard. Leaders have to answer questions, right? That comes part and parcel with the territory. Or in this case, she just so happened to be the first person from home that Hilda had run across who she knew that she could trust. Generally speaking of course. Despite Hilda's own dubious feelings towards the Emperor, she knows that she'll know what she's talking about. There had always been that surety to her.
And while it's true she's never spent enough time around her to hear the grimness in her voice, it's enough to persuade that much more that allying - whatever it is that looked like - might have to be the unfortunate route that they have to take while they're here.
But the pain of a wound now reduced to a scar reminds her that it will never be that easy nor should she give in so easily. Regardless, she doesn't have to give her an answer now. There's drinks to be ordered after all. Her eyes trail after the red-drink and while she's loathe to get the same thing it looks like they'd had the same idea. She flashes the bartender a sweet smile. ]
Make that two please.
[ When she turns back to face Edelgard the smile is gone. ]
