Coffee is bitter, but that is precisely why I like it. I've always preferred bitter tastes to sweet ones.
[Does that sound like a metaphor for something? But he really does mean it literally, too.
Hubert may or may not be aware that Dimitri has difficulties with taste, anyway, but he does not comment on it.]
Ferdinand and I simply had different ideas about what the future of Adrestia should look like. Once he accepted Edelgard's leadership, there ceased to be reasons for animosity between us.
[It's so much more complicated than that, but he has no interest in detailing the specifics of his friendship with Ferdinand to Dimitri of all people. Not when the idea of even having friends is so new to Hubert - it's a vulnerability, and one he will not disclose without cause.
Perhaps simply getting close to someone is a sufficient cause, but he sees no need for that, right now.]
I do not mind being compared to Dedue, though. He's the only one of your retainers with any sort of sense. [Unless he's being compared to Felix, in which case Dimitri can fuck right off.]
