Peeking at Copernicus from under his hair and out of the corners of his eyes, Garret wondered what on earth he was thinking about all this weirdness sprouting from Cela and Daphne. He himself couldn't make heads or tails out of it, so he was hoping the older and wiser Cope would give him a hint on how to react to all this talk about practising kissing and ... well, he was the one who started the bean flavour discussion, so Garret couldn't really expect him to have a similar reaction to that topic.

"HMMMM," he said, stretching his arms out over his head, pretending to be tired, "Wow, it's late, innit?"

Not really, and he was on a sugar high, but he wanted the topic to be changed and changed immediately!
