[The little mushroom she touches looks up at her with that same pleading face, though it softens somewhat with contentment at the attention, and eventually turns into a tiny grin.]
Not yet. I thought I’d ask you for suggestions, if you had any.
[This is yet one more instance of Sprezzatura acting cute, offering proof to what he said before. Except he's not going to ruin the moment by pointing it out.]
That one there has a wide, round head. Maybe "Porto."
after a lengthy silence, she sighs. scrapes her nails up and down her arms. perhaps it would have been easier to give in, back there under the storefront. ]
[But Henry would argue a situation like that shouldn't be given into just because it's "easier."
When that long moment finally passes between them, he steps forward. Closer. The little mushrooms begin to fidget with knickknacks on her desk, curious. (She was right to whisk the magic deck away.)]
You work so hard to please me. [ here, she tugs on the front of his blouse, and she most certainly pretends the mushrooms aren't right within earshot. ] Maybe there is something more I can make up to you? Hm?
[And he dips down with that tug, a smile spreading across his lips. The little mushrooms... for now, are too busy shuffling around papers on her desk to care what's going on just yet.]

Do you have names yet?

Not yet. I thought I’d ask you for suggestions, if you had any.
no subject
Hmph. Well, I am needing time to consider, then.

[get it]
no subject
You are going to make joke? Naming is very personal thing! It is all your hope for your future!
[ of course a tiefling would feel this way. ]
no subject
I think it's kind of cute. But I'll defer to you.
[He won't rain on her parade by sticking with joke names.]

That more than makes up for it.

Oh? And what did you have in mind?
no subject
Well—ehm. What would you like?

He decides on something cute for now, since the former didn’t get him too far the last time.]
Let’s all go out and play in the snow.
[The mushrooms gasp and say in stereo: Weally?!]
no subject
she's not done such a thing in decades... and neither has he. ]
Oh.

So, what do you say?

Henry laughs and goes to grab his coat, as well as hers, if she ever bothered to shrug it off.]
Thanks for humoring me. And them.

It is least thing I can do.
