This is becoming a yearly thing, isn't it? Always around the same time of the year too! Funny that.

Not that I mind, as you know, but you might as well make it a year-round thing while you're at it, yes? No? I'm just sayin'. I'm not gonna complain though, I'll take any opportunity to stretch my legs a bit, doesn't matter where!

So, where to?

No, you still owe me those waffles, pal. You ditched before you delivered.

[She lifts a hand to her heart and ducks her head with a sigh.] I'm always flattered, James. And if you come back to the City, I'd still love to pull together something a little more eccentric, if you're up for a real midway act.

Darn, and here I thought I'd gotten away scot-free!

[ That briefly makes him brighten before his expression falls again. ] I'd love to, it sounds exciting, but I don't think I'll really be going anywhere.

[hexappeal]

Never going to happen, I'm afraid. I remember the important things.

[She waves a hand dismissively.] Sooner or later, maybe. Until then, I wouldn't mind keeping you company.

[trickier]

What if I bribed you with a home-cooked meal?

And good, because I certainly wouldn't mind some.

[hexappeal]

I think you're getting warmer.

I'm glad that's your answer because I do hate being forceful... [No, she doesn't.]

[trickier]

I suppose I could make it a nice breakfast with waffles made from scratch.

Why, I can't see why anyone wouldn't want your company, forced or otherwise. [ Yes, he can. ]

[hexappeal]

Red hot! Although it depends on if that breakfast is dinner or comes the morning after it... [OH SNAP. GIRL'S PUTTIN THE MOVES ON!!]

I appreciate the thought you put into that lie. It's sweet.

[trickier]

[ Oh my. ] I'm sure something can be arranged in which there can be both dinner and breakfast.

Of course, anything for you.

[hexappeal]

[Oh my, indeed. How coy of the two of them!] I'll be looking forward to that, then.

You say that now, but...
