Grayson was quick to notice the way she did not drink her tea. He hid his frown behind his own mug, though it did nothing to smother the way his brow knitted in the middle. She must really want something from him to agree to the beverage in the first place. He was mostly disappointed about the reagents wasted on her.
He was very clearly only looking her in the eyes from this point forward, but he flinched slightly, a tightening around his eyes at that unexpected bark of laughter. He put his mug back on the counter and held up his hands defensively. Whether he was defending himself from her words or the way she was leaning closer to him was somewhat unclear. He took a step back, leaning against the opposite row of counters.
"Hangovers are easy," he explained, pushing at his glasses with one hand, the crystals around his wrist clashed together noisily. "Ages areā¦" he paused, gesturing, before reaching for his tea and hiding behind it again to excuse his fumbling. "Tricky," he said finally when the right word occurred to him. He'd moved the mug just enough to utter the one word.
He'd seen fifteen years olds that looked twenty, twenty year olds that looked ten. It was all a mess honestly. Better safe than sorry, as far as he was concerned.
Grayson sighed, walking around the island and crossing the kitchen to the fridge, where he retrieved a bottle of water. When he returned to his previous position he set it in front of her, she may not have been interested in tea, but she certainly needed to drink something.
"I don't... know," he admitted, hands on his glasses again. "Just. Uhm- just let me see your ID and I can get you what you need.
