Grayson went about his business, unaware of the debate in perceived comfortableness that was happening at his back. He retrieved the kettle before it whistled at him, a generous amount of steam puffing upwards in little clouds from the spout. He poured water over the herbal mixture he had put together, the word tea having been somewhat misleading since it was mostly herbal. The scent of peppermint was renewed accompanied by ginger and a mix of floral scents.
Another chuckle. "Yeah, basically," he agreed, casually, but did nothing to continue the banter.
He strained the liquid from the muddling glass into a much nicer mug, reaching across the counter to drizzle it with honey before he turned to give it to her. He paused, partway from one counter to the next, mug poised just above the polished granite as he noticed her posture. Mostly by accident the curve of her neck was brought to his attention; haphazard curls framing her face in her hands.
Grayson blinked, once, twice, before realizing he was staring. The mug clinked against the counter-top as he set in down in front of her too quickly, and turned to shove everything back into cabinets. That was bad, very bad, and rude. So, so rude. He mentally scolded himself as items disappeared back into their respective places. He didn't know this woman, (girl?) and she certainly had not come to him to be ogled.
Looking at her over his shoulder, the furrow of his brow was visible, but not his sudden frown. She was very knowledgeable, sounding as if she had done a bit of research before coming to see him. Impressive, but ultimate unchanging to the situation.
Definitely not sentby Angie.
"I'm sorry," he said, closing the cabinet and turning to face her once more. The way he adjusted the neckline of his sweater could have been described as nervous. "I'm not allowed to give reproductive charms to minors. Like, legally. Without parental consent."
