[ Alex is more comfortable laughing when Levi makes these kinds of faces. She means nothing bad by it. If anything, it’s gone from intimidating to endearing. ]
Why not go simple then? It looks like you can pick different types of espresso. Maybe try one of them? You could also taste mine to see if you like it.
[ someone offering to share their drink with him is almost always a hard pass, or a thanks-but-no-thanks at the very least. it's not so much that he's trying to be rude, it's just... well, the germophobia, you know. he knows his chances of contracting a horrible communicable disease and dying are far lower here than they were at home, but it's a habit he may never manage to break. not when it's how his mother died.

[ She sounds a little too excited, but she herself had only been introduced to good coffee after Makoto had made some for her. It helped to recognize the difference, even if he palate wasn't quite like his. And she's found so far that her coffee experiences here have been positive. ]

[ Alex had noticed that Levi was rather particular, but he also tries, so she's felt more comfortable trying to egg him on now. An expectant look here, a long please there. ]
