That language was one he would never learn. Though a part of him was beginning to wonder if they just made it up as he went, he was sure that the way they pronounced words were not at all how they appeared to be written.

Naturally, he preferred London. Home. Home was great. And what would be even better, was if they didn't have to like... not see each other, for the duration of the break. "I can be quite persuasive when I want to be," just saying, this sounded like a win to him.

Following Maggie's cue, Zeke shed his jacket and slung it over the back of his seat - and he wondered how he hadn't thought to do it the second they arrived. Already he was feeling more comfortable.

He watched Maggie for a moment, as she tended to her hair, which was very nice today. But, when was it NOT nice? And though he said it the second he saw her, he couldn't help but comment again, "You really do look amazing." Just. Yeah. Red was a nice colour on her. It was perhaps even his favourite colour on her.

Smiling at his moderate success so far, Zeke pulled his menu closer, laying it flat on the table in front of him. Puddifoot's was great with food. "I highly recommend the cake," he nodded, approving of Maggie's willingness to dabble in his favourite food group. He already knew he was going to go for cream teas and a chelsea bun, though it was a shame there were no cinnamon scrolls on the menu. Perhaps he ought to talk to the owner. "Don't hold back, order whatever you like, it's my shout." He knew this for a fact, because it's what was expected on first dates, right? The guy should pay.

Okay good, so his only problem seemed to be the snobbish people (okay?) and the language. Especially the latter was surprising to her. How come he hadn't learned it yet if they went there regularly. Maggie didn't voice this thought, however. Instead she smiled and nodded casually. "Well, I really wanna go some day." She commented, her tone suggesting that they could move on to a different topic now.

Which didn't mean he shouldn't REMEMBER what she'd just told him. Might be...useful. Ahem.

Her lips curled into an amused smirk as she met his gaze again. "Reeeeeaally?" Was that a challenge? Although he did have a higher chance at 'winning' this one, seeing as there were outside forces influencing her decision too. Maggie did want to see him try though. Heh. "If I do go, you should just come visit though." Like Kaycee and Dante had last summer.

Maggie's head was bowed slightly, seeing as she was watching her fingers comb through her hair. So when she looked at Zeke again it was through her lashes. "Thank you." She knew she did but it was very nice for him to say so anyway. He was looking good too, but since compliments were FOR girls she didn't say so. Brushing all her curls to one side she eventually stopped playing with her hair and raised her head again. Okay. So. The menu.

'The cake' wasn't exactly very helpful so she just stared down at her menu for a long moment. "Which one?" Maggie asked, clearly a little overwhelmed by the selection of cakes. Maybe she should have prepared herself for this part of the date too. Oops. But then again, she was sitting here with an expert when it came to cakes so surely Zeke could help her out. Who was paying today. Which she had expected. Like, this was a date after all. Still she gave him a grateful smile.
