Or you should, at least...” He definitely had visions of him completely making her day by being here, despite her frosty tone. Her sudden closeness to steal his sunglasses got him a little excited for a moment. Was he expecting a peck on the lips instead?
AHEM.
Maybe…
“Huh.. they look better on you.” Theodore tilted his head and smiled at her. When she turned to do her job, and speak to one of the kids, Theodore stepped back onto his heel and away from the booth a bit. He couldn’t help but be annoyed that someone was getting in the way of their conversation, but he kept his cool and displayed that by running his hand through his slicked back hair.
Aaand… POW. He thought he had hit the snitch but it turns out it missed by a fraction. “Uhhh… almost.” Theodore laughed it off and returned to touching his hair, and then his beard as he got ready for the next round. “Give me another. Can’t let mother dearest down.” nor his PRIDE.
She will neither confirm nor deny these convictions of his nor the current status of his progress. Or lack there of. Though he certainly was presumptuous to assume she would be doing that in this setting. "You have an enormous head," she retorted with a subtle and coy smirk. Was she talking about his proclamation as to who should be grateful for his presence? Or was it in reference to the size of his sunglasses in juxtaposition to her own slender features? The answer was, in actuality, both, but she did dip the sunglasses down to peer over them playfully and indicatively at him before going about her job.
Was she please he had come? Yes. Would she tell him this? He should be able to infer that himself. Would she reveal to him that she had been looking for him in the crowd earlier? No, absolutely not.
Back over to his side of the booth, arms folded across her chest and finger lightly tapping her elbow, she watched as her vines took it easy on him and did not get too much in the way of his attempt - a result she was not entirely sure how to feel about that. "Certainly could not have you becoming a disappointment on my watch..." Another multilayered statement that he could relish in unpacking and over analyzing. Valerie watched him fuss with his beard for a moment, distracted, and then handed him another want to take his second shot.
