Re: Theo & Ernie
Ernie caught that shy look, only for a moment, and he could tell how much Theodore was trying. He had no idea why this was so difficult for his friend, what hurts lied in his past to make him timid and filled with obvious fear. All he knew was that he wanted to know more, whatever Theo would tell him, and he wanted to bring a smile to his friend's gentle face.
"Monday would be brilliant." Even if it weren't a good day, he'd do everything in his power to make it so. He wanted to recommend Bella's, one of the most exclusive restaurants on Monument Alley (the Maitre D' was the brother of one of his patients and had promised him a table whenever he wished), but his wish to dazzle Theodore was tempered with the knowledge that it might be too much and would just scare him off. "There's a nice little cafe on Diagon, Dip & Swish, that has a nice mix of food. It's mostly booths that come with privacy spells, so it wouldn't be too loud or overwhelming. Would six o'clock be all right?"
