Miles saw little choice but to take the lead, Aly's more direct mention of it making sure that he couldn't turn it around without coming across as rude, among other things. He stepped forwards, noticing the woman making to keep step with him rather than lag behind - and headed further down the street to the coffee place. He cocked an eyebrow, head turned slightly to be facing her as they walked.
"
I'll be sure to remember next time coffee gets brought up,
" He replied with a returned wink, crossing the street with a cursory glance - he could clearly hear there were no vehicles coming close - and approaching the door to pull it open. This time he gestured for Aly to head in first, smiling politely but mentally enjoying the opportunity to turn the tables.
He had no idea why, but the feeling of danger from the woman refused to go away. While not as strong as when they'd made contact he could still feel something urging him in the back of his mind - to attack, to put her down before she could strike. It was almost... Primal, like nothing he'd felt before, and he simply had no idea why it was so intently focused on this short, cute woman he'd only just met.
...That aside, the coffee shop was pretty loud. Much louder than he was used to it being. The click-clacking of a keyboard reached his ears, out of the corner of his eye noting a young man in the corner typing away at his laptop. A cry of 'surely not!' reached him right after, yet spoken in an oddly soft way for somebody to shout in. Miles broke his gaze from Aly to look for the source of the cry but was unable to pinpoint it, especially since nobody in the shop seemed to be paying any particular person any mind.
He shook his head slightly. "
Some people,
" He said with a light chuckle, looking at Aly as if she shared in the amusement.
I am Inferi.
