He was mildly taken aback again, and couldn't decide if he thought that Ace was joking or not, and shifted his weight somewhat uneasily from foot to foot before he accepted the offered seat and glass of wine.
"That so?" he said with a vague sort of smirk, swirling the glass absently before taking a sip. "Mmm. This is good, where'd you get it?" he asked conversationally.
He smiled, nodding his head and absently wishing that he'd brought his own papers to grade - but he supposed that he could just as easily grab one of the offered magazines and sit here and talk to her if she was inclined that way - and just read the magazine if she wasn't. So he did that, nodding to her slightly.
"I will," he assured her. Though he wondered in a vague sort of way if he would have the guts to ask her if something came up.
