Trying to slip out of his fluster, Inigo quickly takes the cup when it's handed back to him. Sipping it will give him a moment's worth of time to try do as much, alongside the fact that he really doesn't want to make Roland wait to see his reaction! The other guy seems so into this, Inigo really wants to give him a good reaction and show that he's great at this whole coffee making business--

But as he's halfway through the sip (and noticably lacking the initial reaction towards the bitterness that he had just a few moments ago!), Inigo suddenly stops, looking like he's nearly choking on the coffee.

At least it's not due to the taste. No, it's right at Roland's last words.

What are tips. WHAT ARE TIPS. WHAT ARE TIPS AND HOW DOES HE GIVE ROLAND ANY, oh Naga.

He wipes his mouth, nervously staring between Roland and the fake tips jar.

"Ah.. W-well, sir who I have only ever met before while he was serving me coffee!" Nailed it. The smoothest of roleplays. "I am.. afraid.. that I may not have taken my tip with me when I went out today to grab some coffee!"

WHAT TIP. THE TIP OF WHAT. This is a crisis.
