"Let's start with dessert, actually. You can pick mine." He was SO generous... plus she'd then be able to get twice as much - her own plate, plus bites of his. "And you can pick my not-dessert," she offered right back, giving his hand a return-squeeze before releasing it and beginning her task. Rhys seemed to have more sense of what all the strange foods were, though meatballs were something she recognized, as was the lasagna. But really, when she thought of a Ball with dancing, lasagna didn't seem the cleanest option.
In short order she'd assembled several chocolate-covered cake-pops, stuck pieces of fruit on them, dipped them in the fountain a second time, and then grabbed a coconut-shavings-covered square. Holding said square upside-down, rather like a pepper shaker, she shook it back and forth until the majority of the coconut shavings were on the cake-pop instead.
Then, she presented the first of the treats to him with unnecessary flourish, "For you. Please just eat it and don't look at it." |
