Before the start of the meeting and negotiations, Elise served everyone some high class green tea of this nation and various snacks that they had bought not too long ago.
Weiss and her group indulged in these tasty treats but Ushida did not. He was not worried about being poisoned and killed by the people here as they were too strong and they did not need such dirty tricks to kill someone like him.
But, he was soon going to have a discussion with the people here about something important. So there was a possibility that these foods and drinks might contain something that could make him drunk or absent minded. And that would be something terrible when he was about to have an important discussion soon.
And this was the reason why he was not eating anything. After the negotiations were over, then could then taste these treats and that way, he would not be seen as someone disrespectful.
