He didn't mention it though, he just sat down too and sort of decided he wouldn't do stuff like this for Alice any more, because she clearly didn't really like it and he felt like what he imagined losers must feel like all the time.
He wouldn't know for sure, given he was West Odessa, and not a loser at all.
"I.... arranged food and stuff." You did that on dates. He DID say really clearly that this was supposed to be a proper one. "Proper food, not Hogwarts food."
.... and because it was West and he wasn't happy he added, "You're ruining it you know."
He arranged food.
Arranged. "You did?" Hogwarts food was okay when Dora cooked it and not that overwhelmed elf and stuff, but apparently West wanted to be doing things for her, so she was.. trying to let him. Kind of.
Or not. Apparently, she was ruining it.
"I'm not meaning to ruin it." How was she ruining it? By.. not being overly enthusiastic like other girls would have been if he'd done it? Because she was talking about bugs?
"I love it, you know. What you did. A lot." In case that wasn't clear. Was she making it evident?
"I do. Just you do all these extra nice things for me and you don't have to. I already get a you, see? You're enough." It was like he thought he had to do more to make Alice happy when she was already happy.
"Not that it's a bad thing, 'cause it's an excellent thing, but you should give me time to process it all. And not sulk. You look nicer when you're not sulking." But also when he was.
