[ With a nod he sets off that way. The two of them are given a seat by the main window of the cafe after William turns down the waiter's offer of an outside table. It's far to chilly for his tastes, despite being mid-day. ]
[ Grell quirks a brow, mainly sceptical about whether that is truly what he meant - but, really, she just finds it adorable that he would feel the need to cover for himself around her at all. ]
You and your sweeties! [ There's an amused hitch to her breath, as she rests a cheek into her open palm. ] Though I'm rather weak when it comes to a rich chocolate cake, myself.
[ Brows knitting, a frown sets onto her lips as takes a gulp of tea, turning her attention out the window. Saying something like that while they were out, "not on a date" that is totally a date! He may have actually... hurt her feelings??? ]
[ Eyes snapping pack to him, Grell inhales, pointedly setting her cup down! ]
What I'm acting like? [ She leans in, just short of raising her voice, but surprisingly maintaining some foresight not to. Maybe it's just the drama of a hushed anger that she's after. ] You're the one sending mixed signals-- doing things like asking me to be patient with you, then saying-- that.
No, I don't understand. Perhaps you should explain to me before you start giving me an attitude.
[ He's standing up, though, apparently having made up his mind on where this non-date was going. He digs a few sickles from his pocket and places them on the table. ]

Choose something, then. I'm quite hungry, myself.
no subject
Mn~, I think I'd like a sandwich with a side salad~ [ Her eyes venture wayward. ] Why not that cute little cafe around the corner?

What are you planning on getting?

[ Though when the waiter comes by he orders his usual tea without hesitation. ]
no subject
So, what is your favorite food? Aside from chocolates.
no subject
[ Important questions! ]

[ He has to pause and think of what his second choice would be. ]
Fine. Cinnamon sugar palmiers.

[ After they order, William sets about adding cream to his tea and sweetening it just right. ]
I spoke with the Quiditch captain yesterday.
no subject
Oh? And what was said?
[ She's much too intrigued to worry over her cup of tea at the moment! ]
no subject
[ Sipping at it, he nods at the perfect flavor. ]
Unsurprising as we have a game tomorrow. He needed to replace me as soon as he could.
no subject
Well. Give them tomorrow, then. I'm certain they'll be begging to have you back.
[ Finally, the redhead takes a sip at her own tea, licking over her lips. ]
I certainly don't wish to play against some-- second fiddle.

no subject
I highly doubt that-- [ Closing her eyes with a sniff, she stirs some sugar into her tea VERY thoroughly. ] but we'll see.
no subject
Don't go attacking her because of this. On or off the Quiditch pitch.

[ Great. Why did he have to go and steer the conversation this way? ]
no subject
no subject
[ He looks across the cafe floor to see if the waiter is nearby. If he has to ask for a check and cancel his order, he will. ]

[ Forgive the poor boy, he has no relationship experience. ]
And I doubt she has any interest in me, so stop being jealous over nothing.
no subject
[ With a tick of the tongue, she sits back, arms crossed over her waist. ]
If you don't understand what was so upsetting, perhaps we both should go.
