Jakob: Too slow! Much too slow, Felicia! You can't afford to be so careful. The tea is going cold!
Felicia: Ahhh... I'm sorry, Jakob. OK, I've set all the snacks on the table. All that's left is... Oh nooooo!
Jakob: I'm impressed, Felicia. Impressed with how you serving snacks resulted in an overturned table.
Felicia: I'm sorry!
Jakob: All you have to do is pour tea and present the snacks. Is it really that hard?
Felicia: I just... I got flustered and tried to hurry...
Jakob: *sigh* Never mind. I'll prepare everything.
Felicia: Please, Jakob... Let me at least help.
Jakob: Your help will only slow me down. Please just stand over there and watch.
Felicia: ...Understood.

Felicia: That looks like enough snacks...
Jakob: Felicia? Why are you preparing a snack tray?
Felicia: Jakob?! I didn't see you there. Um... I was just practicing. I want to be as good as you are at this... I thought that practicing whenever I could might help me improve.
Jakob: That is unlikely.
Felicia: What...? Why would you say something so horrible to me?
Jakob: It's the truth. Practicing without feedback or instruction will not take you far. Gunter taught me everything I know. It was hellish, but I learned well. If not for him, I'd burn water and spill snacks left and right.
Felicia: You and Gunter are both very strict in teaching me, though... Won't that help me learn the skills I need?
Jakob: That's true, we are quite strict. You may finally learn... I'd say...maybe 50 years from now.
Felicia: In 50 years?! That's so much time...
Jakob: Felicia, this is really important: Can you tell the difference between good and bad tea?
Felicia: W-well...
Jakob: Come now; tea is a very subtle drink. To make it well, you have to be able to determine what good and bad tea is.
Felicia: I'll be perfectly honest. I...can't.
Jakob: I am not surprised. This is at the core of why you always make such incredibly unpleasant tea.
Felicia: But... Jakob, please teach me! I want to learn how to make wonderful tea!
Jakob: I suppose I have no choice but to mentor you now.
Felicia: R-really?
Jakob: We'll begin right away. Pour me a cup of your best attempt at tea.
Felicia: O-OK! I'll do my best!

Felicia: Jakob? Jaaaakoooob!
Jakob: What's with all the noise, Felicia?
Felicia: I...um...made you some tea to try. Here!
Jakob: This is your doing?
Felicia: Indeed. All by myself. Stop stalling and try a sip before it cools down.
Jakob: If you insist. ...
Felicia: Well? What do you think?
Jakob: It's...surprisingly good.
Felicia: Aha! I knew it! I knew I could do it!
Jakob: I don't know what to say. I did not think you even remotely capable of this.
Felicia: I'm just as surprised as you are!
Jakob: Seconds, please.
Felicia: What?! I'm sorry, Jakob, I don't think I quite heard you correctly there...
Jakob: I would like a second cup, please.
Felicia: Of course! Oh, but I only made that one cup... I'll have to make more. Please give me a little time.
Felicia: Almost done!
Jakob: You're taking so long... I could have done several things in this amount of time.
Felicia: Heehee, my apologies. I just wanted to make sure I got it right. It's all thanks to you that I can do this. You never gave up and kept guiding me in the right direction. I really am grateful to you.
Jakob: OK. You're welcome. Whatever. Pour the tea.
Felicia: Oh! Of course. Here you go. Drink up!
Jakob: Oh geez. Ew, that's awful.
Felicia: What?! But how...
Jakob: Apparently the tea you created before was merely a fluke.
Felicia: Awww...
Jakob: You clearly need training. Clearly I am going to have to be even stricter.
Felicia: I suppose so...

Felicia: Ohh no no no no no!
Jakob: Really, Felicia? Again?
Felicia: I-I'm sorry, Jakob! I lose my balance and...
Jakob: I am beginning to think there is no cure for how clumsy you are.
Felicia: Urgh... I'm really sorry...
Jakob: I've never felt so powerless as a mentor. I wish I could do more to teach you.
Felicia: It's not your fault!
Jakob: No, it is. And it's about time I accept that and act accordingly.
Felicia: You don't mean... Are you quitting as my mentor? You can't do that! Please don't abandon me!
Jakob: I didn't say anything about quitting. I just said I had to act accordingly.
Felicia: I don't know what you mean...
Jakob: Felicia, I think the only solution is for me to stay by your side for as long as I can. I will spend the rest of my life mentoring you.
Felicia: Together...for life? I'll definitely have time to improve, then. I'm glad!
Jakob: I suppose then we will need to get married, as well. If I am to remain with you forever.
Felicia: What?! I don't want you to marry me out of obligation. It's only mentoring... Without real love, it's not a true marriage at all, really...
Jakob: Again, you are putting words in my mouth. This isn't out of obligation at all. Do you understand? I want to do this. Felicia, I love you.
Felicia: Jakob... Were you only pretending that my tea was awful all along? Was that actually an excuse to spend more time with me?
Jakob: Gods, no. Your tea is truly a nightmare. But... I think that together we can wake from it.
