Yeah, it was a peace offering. Until she decided to do something else as equally horrible to him. In his own personal opinion, the retaliation was only half fair. However, he would go with the mature option. He'd take it like a man. The complaints would easily be allowed to come along later down the line, when Ruby really did give him a hard time of it. Which, yes, she definitely would likely do in the future. Without a single doubt.
Sam took the cake. It was, as he had assumed, very good. And she was right. There was certainly a hint of mint floating in there. "That is good," he decided, nodding in approval. "I don't think I've had any that's tasted like that before." It was usually the cheaply store bought cakes packed into plastic or the kind that one got at a diner for two bucks. Nothing quite like that.
Their teas were presented to them. Sam thanked the server and leaned forward to put a spoonful of sugar into his own. Just one spoon. He didn't overkill like other people did. It seemed unnecessary. "You know, I don't even drink that much tea." Sam dropped his spoon into the tiny cup before him. "It's usually coffee." Wine and tea. Definitely not in the range of norm for him.
Going back to casual conversation rather than glaring. It was a good start back to the levels of nice they had before, he was hoping.
