Fred's confirmation that Higgs should, in fact, feel honoured, made him laugh. "And what great presence it will be, I'm sure," he joked back. Somewhat joked back, at least, since so far Fred had done nothing to imply that Higgs wouldn't actually enjoy going out for a drink with him. "But yeah," Higgs nodded slightly more seriously, but a smile still playing on his lips. "I'll let you know closer to the time," he confirmed, mentally reminding himself to check when he had some free evenings.
Then the queue moved again and it was Fred's turn to go up to the little window. "We'll speak soon," he noted before nodding towards the window, so Fred could go and get on with stuff.
