[Hubert can't help a reflexive feeling of disgust, his mouth twisting slightly.]
I have had more than a lifetime's worth of instant coffee at war. You needn't worry about that.
[Falling into step felt almost instinctual; Hubert had spent most of his life keeping pace with someone much smaller than him, after all, and despite the difference in their statures adjusting his stride held no difficulty.]
Something of the sort. My first familiar is a snake, and with the turn of the weather spends most of its time slumbering by the hearth. You've met the rats. There are two cats, Heidi and Princess—one Lady Edelgard's and one Leslie's—as well as an Aegir Hound Lady Edelgard had taken in. It... seemed in ill taste to rehome her pets, so care of them has fallen to myself and Leslie.
[He frowns slightly.] I suppose... there is also an enchanted broom in the basement that very much behaves as an aggressive dog. I'm still unsure what to do with it.
