Didn't take much for him.
"Sure," he nodded when she told him water. Even if it was just water, that was fine. Water was a drink. No problem. His eyes remained on the redhead as she started to change her mind, though. When she leaned forward he caught a whiff of her perfume. And then.. Do they have lemonade? With their eyes meeting, he didn't so much as blink. Just a smile graced his lips. Not a grin or a smirk, but an even, honest smile. "Well, they've gotta have it. Ya can't deny a princess her lemonade." And if they really didn't have it, Paulie would go on and MAKE them squeeze some lemons into fresh lemonade. Or he'd do it himself. No lie, he would.
Tori sliding back into her seat seemed to mark the end of that little moment, but Paulie was still thinking about it. Until her next question put his mind on a different track. He shook his head. "I love California." The weather and the ocean and the weirdos. All of it. Or, most of it. "During summer break I report back to base here." Which he wasn't opposed to, either. "What about you? What are ya up to these days?" He was still smiling. Gosh. That smile kind of made Tori feel... weird.... and warm... and almost... happy? All on the inside, though. She was keeping it in. For now.
"That's right, you can't," she replied softly. He'd remembered her nickname! Awwwww. "If they do have lemonade," the redhead straightened up in her seat primly, "then I'll take one of those, please and thanks." She wouldn't even complain if it wasn't pink. See? Progress.
Well... that HAD been progress. Seeing him talk about California like that made her want to slump down in her seat again, as she couldn't stop a frown from forming on her face. "So you're only in England for the summers." Hmm. "I've just been... working. In Diagon Alley." She was pretty much the same as the last time he'd seen her. That was all she was going to tell HIM, anyway. She had more questions for him. More talk about PAULIE, less about her, mmkay?
"How are you liking those California girls?" she asked quickly, raising an eyebrow but attempting to keep her tone neutral.
