"That isn't some kind of get-out-of-Azkaban free card for hitting on ya at work, is it?" Fred laughed, not completely sure why he was doing it, probably just because Verity's was so contagious. Then again, why was she laughing? Had she thought the pass-on was hilarious, or was it what he'd said after it that sparked the amusement? Ugh, birds - they were all mental and even so, you couldn't live without them. It was sad, really.
After a final too-near look at the girl, Fred went back to fetch the water jug he had left for earlier, pouring its content into the coffee brewer like it was no problem at all. As his brother hollered something from the main-room he grabbed the pretty tin can with the beans from the counter where he had haphazardly put it when Verity came in and measured two scoops out of it, then adding a third just for good measure, grinning to the blond as he tapped the thing into function.
"Ya are such a good teacher, Ver, you know that, right? Never would've figured it out without ya. ...Also, now that that's in motion, wanna go check out what my dear little bro is crying about?" he offered her his arm to her with a comically large, bowing gesture.
