Arsene and Ren have a tiff about which coffee is the best.
May 17, Cafe LeBlanc 12:01 PM
It was a busy but in a less hectic way. Ren was serving coffee to a business woman in a pink coat.
Woman in pink coat: Thank you, young man.
Ren: No problem. Have a good, day. (Looks at a middle aged man walking out the door)
Middle-aged man: You as well!
The bespectacled boy then grabbed a mug from the covers, poured himself a fresh dark brew onto it. As he took a big gulp of it.
Arsene: Are you serious?
Ren: Hm?
Arsene: Look at you? Drinking like a barbarian! I expected better from a host of mine!
Ren: Seriously? Look, I'm extremely busy with customers so can you pipe down about my drinking habits?
Woman in pink coat: Who are you talking to.
Ren: Ah, Nobody. Sorry.
Woman in pink coat: It's fine. Thank you.
Arsene: I will guide you through proper etiquette in a later time. And somewhere private.

Attic 1:00 PM
The room was quiet but it wasn't too dark. Ren was sitting in a seiza style position, glancing down at the items before him. A white teacup, plate, a golden spoon and a coffee bag were placed horizontally in front of him.
There wasn't anymore customers downstairs so now was the perfect time to start the lesson.
Arsene: In order to be a master gentleman thief, one must acquire all the skills to attain it. And one of the skills is etiquette. Right then, Master Ren. We have a tea cup full of coffee and a plate. First, pour the water into the cup, then mix the hot water with the coffee beans.
Ren: Like this?
Arsene: Oui. That is correct. Now, while your drinking, extend your pinkie while doing so.
And then, as soon as Ren took a huge gulp of the coffee....
Arsene: REN!
Ren:*chokes on the drink* What?
Arsene: Don't gulp. It's bad manners.
Ren: Sorry. It's just...I love coffee. That's all.
Arsene: It's fine that you like coffee. It's one of the famous drinks in all of France.
Ren: You're from France?
Arsene: Ho Ho HO...someone needs to learn some European culture...THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE!
Ren: So, I've heard...*chuckles*
Morgana: I hope you don't mind me coming in.
Ren: Where've you been. I'm guessing you weren't gonna stick around during work hours.
Morgana: No matter what I do, Sojiro's gonna get cranky that a "cat" is in his shop. So I had to stay with Lady Ann. She had delicious sushi~!
Ren: Now you're making ME hungry. And impatient.
