[Now, this attempt has not gone unnoticed by Marie]
Where are you going? Didn’t you say that you would stay over for tea? If you are in a hurry, this is of course fine, but weren’t we just talking about it?
[Ah, well. It was worth a shot. Hubert offers a dry, concessionary smile.]
Ah, I did say if you insisted—and so you have. Very well. [He honestly doesn't give a damn if she's disappointed, but he will conduct himself fittingly for someone who has (so far) proved to be an ally.] But do not expect me to be a lively conversationalist.
[This attitude might have scared away some people and maybe that is what Hubert has been hoping for, but Marie just smiles and retreats inside the house to start preparing tea]
That’s fine! You are a bit like someone I know in this regard.
[Marie has heard about Hubert from Edelgard mostly. That and the feral vampire incident. She is not aware of how Hubert is perceived by his peers from his homeland]

He used to have... quite the reputation. Unrelated to music, but this was because of a misunderstanding.
