"Stop slouching."
"I am not slouching!" Edward protested, whining while he struggled with the pain in his back.
He was sitting opposite to Emilia, and in between them was a small table with a strange collection of items placed on it.
Edward picked up the tea cup in front of him, trying his best to imitate what Emilia had shown him, and took a delicate sip.
"Too loud."
Edward exhaled. Then, pushing down the frustration bubbling up inside him, he took another sip, quieter this time.
"Your fingers are not in the correct place."
He tried his best to not yell at Emilia.
"Look I'm trying all right!?" He put the cup down, and stared at Emilia. "This is hard!"
Emilia said nothing, instead just gave him the usual stern glare.
And that was enough to make Edward fold.
He let out a small sigh and picked the cup back up.
"Alright I'll try again."
