Emma: "Really?!" she asked, interested. "I can't wait the- Santa's beard." She stared past Geoffrey, her face stricken in terror. The reason soon appeared in the form of John and Robin, the former smilingly a little too widely.
"Emma! Fancy meeting you here. And this is that guy right? The one you were talking about all last-" John suddenly yelped when Emma's heel dug into his foot.
"What in the new world are you doing here?" she whispered harshly. She attempted to smile sheepishly at Geoffrey, give Robin an expression of hello, and death glare at John all at once, but she ended up just making a really weird face. Her head plonked on top of the table as she gave up.
John was having fun though and, after finding a free chair, pulled it over for Robin and gestured to it. "You don't mind if we join you, right?" He asked Emma and Geoffrey. Revenge was sweet.

Robin: "Hiya Emma!!! I love your shoes!!!" She spun a chair around motioned for John with a wink, as smoooooth~ as ever! "Iiii don't think they do!" She laughed and smiled at Geoffrey, "Oh...Hey... you! It's nice to see you!" She put her hands on her hips, "Guess what you guys!! We we're in town and WE JUST TOTALLY SAW YOU GUYS HERE!" She raised her shoulders, "Liiiiike, whooooo would have guessed?? Hey is that a sugar packet?" She took it from the table and laughed again.

Geoffrey's eyebrows rose. What were they doing here? CLEARLY the only answer was that they had been..... on a romantic date in his town because they knew where to find real romance! Ah, he hadn't realized they'd been getting so serious! He needed to keep that in mind~~~
"I suppose you both will need some menus?" he asked, grinning. He did feel bad that Emma was... clearly not enjoying the fact that they were here... but if you can't beat them, you are to be beaten with them! That was how it went right? Well... something like that!

"Yeah, that would be great, thanks," John replied as he took his seat. "Nice vest, by the way." He made a face when he saw Robin downing a sugar packet, his eyes playfully rolling. They landed on Emma, who seemed a bit upset to his not surprise! He waved a hand in front of her face and said, "Hey Emmers, I think Robin complimented your shoes!"
Emma raised her head up and snatched his wrist mid air, then turned to Robin. "Thank you my dear, you look lovely tonight too!" She pulled John's hand under the table and tried to crush his wrist with all her might. She felt her blood pressure settle a little when she saw him bite his lip in pain, so she smiled and said, "So what are you in town for, hm?"

Robin snapped cooly at Emmma's compliment, "Hey, thanks! Chubbs picked it out!!" She stared at herself in her silverware, it was so shiny!!! Opps! Emma asked something!! "We're buying candy!!" She said excitedly! Actually, they were totally just here to crash their date, but 1.) that was a really good excuse and 2.) John might let her buy more candy yeessss!
She rested her head in her hands on the table and blinked at Geoffrey a few times, "Heya Mr. Angel, I meant to ask!! How do you do the...the..." She made little loops with her fingers, "Your hair loopies? How do those work?" Her face grew cross, "I just don't understand."

Geoffrey: "Merci, Johnathan!" he said excitedly, straightening said vest a bit. When Robin said they were buying candy, he was a little bit suspicious, but he would personally let it slide. The candy here was quite excellent, after all! Emma did not look quite pleased at the prospect, but he would do his best to make sure she was happy as soon as he could!
"My... hair.. loopies?" He had no idea what that meant, but after thinking about the gestures she'd been making he reached up to touch his curled bangs. "Ah! These! I do not.. do anything, really!" he admitted! "Raphael says that this is not normal, but I wake up and my hair just looks like this! I cannot get it to do anything else! It is a blessing... and a curse," he said a bit more darkly before taking another drink of his wine. As the waiter walked by he swiftly grabbed the menus under his arm and handed them to Robin and John. Mentally calculating, he said, "I can... pay for you! Yes! Get whatever it is that you enjoy eating!"

Emma released John's wrist when Robin answered her. It seemed pretty valid. John nudged her with his shoulder and she was tempted to kick him to the the next town. Instead she listened quietly to Geoffrey's explanation (it's not like she hadn't been wondering that too).
John gratefully took a menu from Geoffrey and started flipping through it. He peered over at Robin, just to see her looking at the dessert section. "The macaroons sound good," he mumbled to her. "They're the colorful things right?"
Emma gasped when Geoffrey offered to pay. "NO. No, no, no, they can pay for themselves! I give John more than enough for his salary," she exclaimed. John turned back and gave her a sad look that said "How could you?" Emma stared back hard.

Robin grinned, "Thanks, Mr. Angel!! Yeah, macaroons are the best!" She laughed, "You don't have to pay for me, I got it!!" She jingled some bells in her pockets, "I'm all set!" And just in case they didn't accept bells as currency, she would be okay!
Robin squinted hard at the menu while she thought about it. She had some shady cohorts in Valentine's Town that owed her some favors. And by favors she meant some heavy sugar. And if she needed heavy sugar and they didn't oblige, there would be Halloween Town to pay. Definitely.
But that wasn't important now! She kicked her feet under the table and looked over to Emma, "Hey have you guys ate yet? I bet the food here's really great! The five mints I had when we walked in were excellent! OH HEY John, we should split a profiterole!" She actually pronounced it right, too! "Grandma comes here a lot and really likes it!!"
She looked over to Mr. Angel and said, with a non flirty wink, "Ma grand-mère parle le français aussi!"
She put her hands on her hips, proud as ever!! "Merci bon bon!" And that was it. That was all the French she knew!

Geoffrey: "If you are sure!" In most situations, he would have insisted and paid off the whole bill on his own, but he figured the less he spent on anyone other than Emma, the more he could spend on Emma! He wasn't wrong!
"Ah, we're... eating," he said, looking down at his plate, having almost forgotten about it. He sized up another bite before eating. Luckily, it was still warm, even though it wasn't hot! When Robin spoke French, though, he almost dropped his fork! He swallowed his bite almost whole and put a hand on his own cheek!
"Incroyable!!" he exclaimed! "La petite lutine parlez ma langue!" He stared at her a bit, in awe! "Est-ce que tu sais que, ma fleur??" he directed at Emma before catching himself. "Ah! Excusé! What I meant was, did you know about this, my-- er-- ma fleur?" Mixing languages was so hard! But 'ma fleur' sounded prettier than 'my flower!'
"Johnathan! Do you speak le français?" Granted, Raphael knew quite a lot of his language, and he could also speak Italian (as could Geoffrey), so that was refreshing! But still! Other than him, it was so rare to find anyone else who spoke anything other than English outside of his town!

"Quite sure!" Emma assured him before John could respond. "In all honesty, I could pay for myself if that would help!" She hoped that would appease John at least.
Emma looked as surprised as Geoffrey did and raised her eyebrows at Robin. "No, I can't say I did! Robbie, when did you learn that?"
While the three were distracted, John pulled over Emma's plate and took a bite. Pretty good. He shoved it back when Geoffrey turned his attention to him. John smiled, trying to hide the fact there was food in his mouth. He shook his head side to side and attempted to swallow the food without notice. "What about you?" John asked, trying to turn attention away from him. He realized how stupid that question was when it left his mouth, but it was too late now!

"Oh..." She put her hands on her cheeks and looked at their plates. She...probably should have noticed earlier, opps!
She beamed, "Grandma knows French really well!....I have no idea what you just said though, hahaha!! She does a lot of external affair work concerning Valentine's Town! OH she told me one time," she leaned in closer to Emma and Geoffrey, "That there's this guy and he makes chocolate in this factory and he's secret and kinda looks like Jesus! OH and also that you guys have candies with words on them but they aren't just 'm's or 's's! That's weird! Can you taste the words?"
She thought for a moment,
"Words probably taste gross, man."
She was about to go off on another tangent but stopped when John just asked...that. She blinked at him for a moment before murmuring "Are you okay John?"

Geoffrey put his hands up in a defensive gesture and shook them back and forth. "Non, non, ma fleur! I cannot allow you to pay for yourself! That would be most unbecoming!!!" He'd be the embarrassment of the entire town if anyone found out his date paid for himself! It was unsightly! Unseemly! Just... absolutely not!!!!
Turning toward John, he laughed! "I speak le français quite well, yes!" He reached over to clap him on the shoulder. What a funny guy!
To Robin, he raised an eyebrow, but when she continued he exclaimed, "Oh! Oui! They... do not taste like words, no..." He wasn't sure if it was a language block or if he was just talking to a small elf genius, but he didn't understand what she was talking about! "I actually have some, if you would like!" He took off his beret and shuffled around in it for a moment before emerging with a pristine, shrink-wrapped box of conversation hearts. He handed them to Robin before looking around at Emma and John expectantly. "Would you like a box as well?" Sure, they weren't exactly the pride of the town, but they were important! Raphael had so many it was unbelievable! Of course, that was probably because his dad worked in the factory that produced them, but either way.

Emma murmured, "Are you sure?" before realizing that any offers would be turned down. So she just thanked him, and right after guffawed at John's slip up. She whipped her hands over her mouth as she tried to keep her laughing to a chuckle, but it was so hard.
John on the other hand turned redder and redder. He shrugged down in his seat and assured Robin he was fine. When Geoffrey offered one of his candy box's he politely declined. One: who knows where that magic beret led to, and two: he'd gotten enough candy from Robin to last a year.
Emma took the little box gratefully and peered at it. How quaint! She put them in her purse and and raised the question, "How did you pull those out?" while pointing at Geoffrey's beret.

Robin took it happily, "Hey thanks!" She popped a few in her mouth before beaming at Emma's question, and kind of cut Geoffrey off- opps!
"Oh!! I know, I can do that too! See??" She lifted her own hat and a few of those "Grandma mints" in the single wrappers feel onto the table! "You just kinda stick them in there! John knows, I give them to him all the time!! Hey Mr. Angel, do you want some Christmas candy?" She didn't carry a purse around like Emma, so she had to improvise sometimes! "You should see Mint's, she can keep a LOT in her hat!" Robin's....wasn't really magic, just really well made!
