[Tilting his head at the mention of coward, Gabriel makes a soft noise at the back of his throat, thinking.] Someone else could have stepped forward to help her. [It's said neutrally - neither of them did so he can't lay blame. Just a thought.]

He won't be in there all day. Get a drink and then go back - it'll save you time in the long run. [He suggests. That's what he's planning on doing anyway, even though he could probably get paper elsewhere. He doesn't want the business to miss out because of this.]

Yeah...probably... [Now Fili's squirming inside a bit at the thought. But a childhood of kids bullying HIM has his default reaction to situations like these is to stay neutral and out of the way.]

That's not a bad idea. I could probably use a coffee.

[thebalrogslayer]

There's a good place outside of the --mall, if you go left out of the entrance that way. [He points in the direction he means. Mall is said with a degree of hesitation, shopping centre still sounds more natural to him, but using native term normally saves him from being questioned.

He also likes the coffee shop because he's badgered them into making tea how he likes it, but that's by the by.]

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Sounds good. You a tea drinker or a coffee guy? [Fil caught the small hesitation and raised his eyebrow a bit, but declined to ask about it.]

[thebalrogslayer]

Green or white tea, but it can be hard to find it done well here. [Gabriel grins. What's that term the kids use these days? Hipster. Not that he normally had much of a better reaction at home - what's white tea, can you brew it for half an hour, where does the milk go?]

What about you?

I'm Gabriel, by the way.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

English tea is more common, yeah. Due to the fact that Brits can't live without it and so bring it everywhere they go. [Fil grins in reply, remembering a classmate back in University who literally could not live without it.]

Me? I'm a coffee drinker mostly, though I don't object to tea now and then.
