Looking up at him as Tenacius had managed to grab her hand all Mel could do was grin. ”Why thank you kind sir,” she said as she rather dramatically curtsied what was she even doing? she thought back into her brain when he continued speaking…”you should be flattered I mean, you weren’t even here yet and I was already falling for you” get it get it eeeh? From the mischievous glint in her eyes and the slight upwards turn of her lip it wasn’t hard to tell that she was ribbing him. Which was something that she always seemed to do with Tenacius.

When he commented that it wasn’t Floreans she just grinned, ”yeah…the floor is a bit squishy but I mean…its more private and I figured it’d be less stifling than Puddifoots” as she said the word Puddifoots her nose crinkled in distaste. Something about the forced romantic atmosphere of the tea shop made her feel uneasy, ”the food here is really good and Harold the owner is pretty cool…” she grinned at him only to laugh at his comment about dressing with the light on.

”awwwwwww you tried to look special for me eh?” she grinned and nudged him her cheeks flushing at his words, of course he knew she always tried to wear things that were well…her style and had that usual mix of vintage quirkiness she seemed to always love. ”ooh…right orders,” looking up at the menu she just felt her heart pang. ”Stoat?...” she whispered her eyes welling with tears for a moment before she looked away ”um…I have a feeling I’ll be staying away from the mystery meat lasagna a place that sells s-stoat sandwiches probably would have gnome meat lasagna” she half joked but really, it was probably goat.

After all this was the hogshead…poor Aberforth would be rolling in his goat loving grave. ”what are you going to get?...i’m leaning toward just getting the chocolate trifle if I were of age I’d try the mulled wine ‘cause I’m sure it smells all clovery and delicious like mulled cider” she grinned over to Tenacius. ”we could always do things in reverse and like get desert here and just talk and be us and then go get sandwiches in the kitchens?” she offered with a smile.
