A Londoner!
The smile on Robert's face had just become more permanent, his luck just kept looking higher and higher at him! Which was a thought that surprised him after he waited in borderline awkwardness for the man to make a decision about his opinion on the troika cake and not just...stare at things. For a moment there, a stupid part of Robert crawled up to the back of his mind from the base of his spine that something...unnatural and dangerous was happening in the background and his right hand instinctively placed a reassuring pat on his right pants pocket, where he carried his cousin's former protective charm.
All that was for naught, thankfully. "I," he said with a breath of cheer at the end of his throat, "would be absolutely grateful if you could walk me there. So you're from London! So am I. W, whereabouts in London? How long ago was this?" Robert's giddiness was rising like a frantic fire -- as if he hadn't just gotten dumped that morning.
