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.


A nasty habit and from an egotistical Department Head at that. "You're getting better at these compliments." His expression was especially pleasant and the raising of her eyebrow did very little to change that. "I am a bit concerned that you would make someone of such poor character rub off on you though. Who knows what other nasty habits you might have picked up." Could she see the concern on his face? He was trying really hard to make it look legit...though most likely failing.

Her pulling her chair closer told him she wasn't at all put off by what they'd now both established as a joke. She was still sitting there and not giving him any hard looks, rather she was getting more comfortable and reaching into her bag for whatever she'd brought. There was a hint of curiosity as he watched but in the end it didn't matter to him. He wasn't picky or particular about food and was usually fine with whatever she got him. "I could have conjured you a better chair you know. I can't imagine that's very comfortable." See? He could be accomodating.

Her line of conversation was moving closer to a persuasive demand in his head. Now it could almost be classified as proper hole boring and he would concede. "Touché." He said, leaning across to take the whatever was wrapped in the white wrapper. Her point was most valid, he knew she wouldn't be leaving and what's more he knew he'd have preferred having lunch with her as opposed to whatever it was his PA had dumped on his desk before he left earlier. "So what's the verdict? Are we in danger of some ax-murderer running in on us at any minute?" She did say she'd done some surveillance, right? Might as well pass on the info while she was here.
