That hand holding and the squeeze? Grayson hadn't expected that. Not even a bit. It was what made him look down at their hands and smile to himself, even after she had let go. He knew what that meant. 'Course he did. It was why he looked back at her and smiled in return, not caring whether she could see it or not. 'Least she wasn't offended or whatever.
Lulz. A fun model? "You're probably right about that. I could model your nail art. And get more people to do the same, you know." See? They were talking business. And it wasn't even a bad talk, either. Heh. An excuse for holding his hand? "You sure you need an excuse for that, Rubes?" SMIRK.
She was happy. Grayson's smile widened at that as he looked over in her direction. "I always make good company." HELLO? It was HIM. "You're not bad company either, Banner." Just saying. And he was happy too, in case she was wondering. But was he gonna tell her that? Not yet.
"Brilliant!" he whispered loudly, keeping his eyes on the sky, "Where did they get these fireworks from? They look much different from the normal, muggle ones."
"Definitely the motivational way, cutie. There's always room for improvement." Maybe he'd even learn something from her. There was a thought - Ruby wondered how much he'd already learned from her. In general. Hopefully useful things. But anyway, it could be fun too, right?
"How could I ever repay you for helping me advertise?" Ruby asked teasingly. She was sure they could both think of plenty of ways, but the banter was fun. As for the hand holding...
"Maybe I don't. Do you?" Need an excuse for it? Because her hand was right here if he wanted it. It was a good hand, he knew that too.
Ruby giggled at his assertion that he was good company, didn't need to tell her that, did he? Obvy she wouldn't bother with him if he wasn't. She fixed her eyes on the sky again, still smiling.
"You can buy magical fireworks you know. They're usually brighter and bigger and last longer, and some of them are shaped like things... you know, dragons and whatever, and they move around." Hadn't he seen before? That was cute. Ruby leaned against Grayson a little bit and kept watching the show. Too bad it couldn't last forever.
