[ What annoyance had seeped its way into Kate's expression melts out again immediately as she is handed a plate of toast by a gift-bearing wizard. She steps back to give him room to come in, setting the toast on top of the bureau so she can pull on a t-shirt and take a seat on the makeshift couch, plenty of room for him beside her. She takes a half slice and takes a bite, resting the plate on her thigh in easy sharing reach.

She doesn't ask why he's come, or why he's brought what he has. It's clear what this is, and she is both charmed and touched, and not in his usual ways. ]

You're a pretty great friend, you know that?

[doggedly]

I'm glad you finally noticed.

[It's a response completely lacking in self-consciousness--as is the grin that he gives her, totally shameless--so much so that they're probably both jokes.

Probably. Because, then again, he did carry around a mandrake leaf in his mouth for an entire month, without once complaining. For friendship.

This is far less complicated. This just requires him to sink down onto the false sofa with Kate, reaching briefly around her shoulders to make sure she's well-covered by the new blanket. Then he hands her the space DVDs, for her perusal. Then, and only then, does he help himself to a piece of space toast, but it's as he's reaching for a space beer for her, so even that's got an element of thoughtfulness to it. The grin he gives her this time is more normal.]

And who knew you were so easy. Toast. I've been overthinking you this entire time. Any of those any good?

[The space DVDs, that is. Like he didn't select them carefully. But Kate is the expert; he waits on her opinion.]
