Either way he was listening. "You're good." He said, feigning contemplation as she went on about food and glucose levels. "I haven't eaten since breakfast." Breakfast she'd paid for mind you, giving him food twice in one day, no complaints but he wasn't convinced just yet. "Glad to see you taking breaks so seriously." Cutting into her own busy schedule and all.

Would they be standing there simply staring at each other for the rest of the day? He was sure this classified as one of those distractions they'd been talking about. Hardly any work would get done if this continued...not that he was thinking much about work right now. He was on break....and being rather difficult about it too.

Gavin's face fell a little once she'd reached her conclusion on the matter. That was it? Consider him disappointed. They would need to work on that eventually. It was hardly anyway to go about inserting yourself into someone else's busy day. He leaned against his desk again, taking the other cup of coffee, knowing fully well she'd have drank them both just to teach him he shouldn't be so difficult when she made efforts. "You're concern for my schedule's inspiring but I must say it's counter-productive to hole boring." He pointed out before taking a sip to hide his amused smirk. "Have my hole boring occasions taught you nothing about having a certain disregard for the time of others?"


It hadn't come as a huge surprise that he was being difficult, it was probably what he called pay back for the times she'd given him grief, not that there were many of those, but nevertheless here they were, having one of those conversations. She didn't care if she was good or not, the fact of the matter was, she was here and he would indulge her... just as she had done all those times before. Of course it was a given he hadn't eaten, purely because she hadn't eaten yet also, and she was hungry. So he could hardly continue to stand around and be difficult. "Mmm, it's a nasty habit that's rubbed off on me from an egotistical Department Head I know." Cue brow raise. Whoever could she mean?

Regardless, she was all for making herself comfortable, pulling her seat a little closer to his desk - and closer to him. She sipped from her coffee before placing it on the corner of the desk nearest her and dove into the bag to start pulling out her meal.

Emily shrugged at his assessment, such a poor pupil she was. "Mmm... yes, and no." He was in fact welcome to continue working, she was here for the view and should she have questions to pester him with then he wouldn't be able to avoid answering them, thus conversation would flow and she would win. "The way I see it, you're the one losing out with that arrangement... because I still get what I want. But since I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, you're welcome to join me, it'd be more worth your while." Extracting one of the croissants wrapped in white paper, Emily held it out to him, her gaze still in the depths of the bag, anticipating the next extraction.
