Sitting in silence would have been fine with him, but he knew it wouldn't work for long, Amur was like a billywig caught in a spray of weeds, she would break free and when she did he'd have to watch for her sting. He was almost disappointed too, when it came, because he thought she could do better. "So I've been told," he replied in the first instance, smirking slightly as he looked out at the water. Might be nice to take a boat out...
Hearing that she'd been determined to be angry with him, Zeke turned to face her, curiosity tickling him.
... and oh. That.
Just how many people had seen?! First Sir Nick, and now Amur... was he going to have to account for it to everyone?
"Yeah... sorry about that, it wasn't planned," he shrugged before contemplating another bite. He didn't take it though, because then his question was directed back at him. "I'm... fantastic," he replied, wondering if the word did him justice, "brilliant actually." Didn't he look it?
Oh? Good.
"Then why hasn't it stuck between those big ears?" Huh? If he'd been told once, that
SHOULD have been enough.
Apparently not for Mr. Browne. And apparently common courtesy wasn't either. That, did a good bit to spark that fading anger back to a small but brief flame. Stuffing the toast between her teeth, Amur turned, wound her arm back and gave him a good, solid punch in the arm. With her free hand she promptly plucked the toast out of her mouth, because it was hard to speak between forming croutons.
"You could have said something. I was sitting RIGHT beside you!"
As in, a
word would have been nice. Even if it
wasn't planned.
"Maybe not right away, but you could have come back. Like," and here she put on her best smug Zeke imitation,
"'Hey Amur. Know I walked out like a drenched dog denied the best part of a t-bone steak. But I'm okay now. Don't worry. I'm actually fantastic. Brilliant really. I think I could walk on water!'" To echo his final sentiments.
Which.
GOOD. She
was glad. Truthfully and honestly. She couldn't be more glad. But he did deserve some
small correction.
