[ The laugh is a surprise, but a very endearing one -- Giles ducks his head with a smile, looking fondly at her as she recovers. ]

Well. In that case, perhaps I can say that I had hoped that I would.. that I could help take your mind off things. And not just with tea and, ah. Books.

[rationalism]

Yeah?

[ her smile softens with affection. he's being awfully brave right now. and in the face of her laughter! what a guy. still, maybe it's for the best she let him take the lead and not climb into his lap and get to kissing.

she wasn't joking, she usually is the too forward one. it'd suck to scare him off. ]

What did you have in mind?

[ripher]

[ A moderate victory in that she doesn't immediately seem put off by the idea. Giles lets that carry him onwards, enduring the faint heat on his face at being so bold with a young woman. He tries not to let his gaze linger on her mouth. ]

I had rather hoped you would let me, um. Kiss you. If you'd like that.

[ she sets her tea aside, clasps her hands in her lap, nods like a bobble head a bit. ]

I would very much like that.
