It made Toby a little self conscious when Lusie mentioned that she had Bainbridge sisters in her house, but Toby knew deep down that Lusie wasn't going to go around gossiping about his blunders. She was a sweet and kind girl, he felt very fortunate to be on his first date with her. "Yeah, you have three Bainbridge sisters in your house." he confirmed. Toby had been best friends with Kinsey for over six years, he was bound to meet her siblings at some point.
When Lusie questioned further about why Kinsey was mad at him, his initial instinct was to hesitate and change the subject, but then he remembered it was Lusie sitting in front of him. He swallowed nervously, mouth going dry, due to the subject. “I have a feeling like it wouldn't be proper traditional date conversation..” Toby snorted, unable to surpass a laugh from escaping his lips. “But since this is more of a ‘Friend Date'...talking about other girls and gossip probably isn't as frowned upon, maybe you could give me better insight..” he told her with a smile, already easing into the conversation effortlessly. Lusie had always been easy to talk and joke with, maybe the Puff could give him some of her own input, although he knew he was a complete ass for not talking Kinsey's advice in the beginning. He just fancied Anastasia so much, he refused to believe it while he was getting the attention he was seeking from the Slytherin girl. Toby took a breath in and exhaled, "Long story short...Kinsey is mad at me because she was trying to warn me about a girl potentially using me, but I didn't want to believe her. So, she got mad, then I got mad because she was mad, and now we haven't talked since winter holiday started." Toby shared more than he originally planned on telling her. He was glad that the princess couldn't see his face, because it was a bright red hue; he was embarrassed because he already accepted that he was the bad guy in this situation. Toby cleared his throat, "Have you ever wanted to believe something so bad that you lie to yourself about it enough hoping it will become reality?" he asked her.

Lusie nodded, she did have the three triplets in her house, actually, upon further thought, they were her roommates. Lusie felt a little bad for not remembering right away. She was perfectly polite to them all and to everyone she saw and knew, but, she didn’t get close to a lot of people. She wouldn’t say that she was close with any of her roommates. She didn’t like to let people get close to her. She was skeptical of their intentions. He went on to explain what had made Kinsey mad at him after insisting that she might be able to help him get better insight. He explained that she was concerned that a girl had been using him, but he didn’t want to see it. Lusie nodded, she knew that feeling in a weird way. She had a friend when she was in her early years who she had gotten really close to, but they had been using her for her fame and her status. She only found that out because she overheard the person talking to some other people between lessons. “It seems like Kinsey had good intentions then…Do you think she's using you?” Lusie asked, not wanting to take her side, exactly, but hopefully, pointing out a conclusion that Toby was already coming to himself. “Yeah, I definitely know that feeling…” she nodded.

Toby definitely agreed with Lusie when she said that Kinsey seemed like she only had the best intentions for him. It was the reason why he was so mad at himself for not handling the situation differently. At the time, he was just tired of talking about Anastasia. Their friendship had strained all because of a girl. The sick part about the situation was Toby knew Anastasia was using him to do her work, but he didn't really care. School was easy for him. At least she knew he existed - although she called him 'Tony' or 'Tommy'... When Lusie asked if he thought the girl was using him, he sighed, "After thinking about it a little more, yeah, she's probably using me." he admitted to Lusie, feeling more pathetic saying it out loud. But Lusie was quickly becoming a close friend this year, she was easy to share with. He laughed awkwardly, finding some reassurance when his friend said that she shared a similar feeling. He swallowed, already wanting more details to make himself feel better. "Do you feel like many people have tried getting close to you due to your social status?" The Ravenclaw asked genuinely curious, trying to keep an easy going tone, this was supposed to be a fun 'date' after all...not therapy hour. Sometimes he just asked too many questions, but as a Ravenclaw, that was arguably his prerogative.
The waiter stopped by their table and dropped off their food. Toby wished that he could see what was on his plate, but it smelled good. Being raised by parents with impeccable table etiquette, he was already fearing making too much noise with his cutlery in the dark. "It's a good thing we can't see each other because I have a feeling like table manners are going out the window..." Toby commented jokingly with a snort, but he had a smile in his voice. He was happy to have the experience with someone that he knew.

He admitted that he thought this girl, whoever she was, was just using him. Lusie wondered why anyone would want to use someone as sweet and genuine as Toby. He was so nice and friendly. “Oh, well i’m sorry to hear that.” she stated. She almost wanted to ask if there was something special about her, but she didn’t want to dig in too deep right now, they were on a ‘date’ after all. She probably shouldn’t ask him about other girls, not matter how curious she was. He asked if she had found that people used her and she nodded, “Oh yes, that’s one of the reasons I don’t have a lot of friends…” Lusie was a friendly girl, but she was guarded, extremely so. She didn’t make friends easily, at least, not real friends. She was always worried that all they wanted was to be friends with a princess.
The waiter set their food in front of them and Lusie as happy with her choice of grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. It was a fairly clean meal, easy to eat with a knife and fork, and a meal that wouldn’t mess up her face or her blouse. Lusie laughed at his comment about his table manners. “That’s alright. I wouldn’t judge you anyway. Though, you might want to brush up on them before you come to dinner.” she teased, wondering if he was nervous at all about coming to Windsor Castle.

Toby felt a little embarrassed after feeling like he had overshared with Lusie, but he knew she wasn’t the type of girl to go around gossiping about such a personal matter. She apologized for the girl using him, and Toby quickly waved the apology away. ”Nah, don’t feel bad, I did it to myself. Thanks for listening though.” Toby snorted, trying to sound unphased. Lusie was being really nice about it, not that the girl could be any other way, really. She revealed that she didn't have many friends in fear of being used, and Toby found that a bit surprising. Lusie seemed like the kind of girl to have many groups friends. "That's imperative for your safety. I could imagine there are many people that wish they could be your friend because you're lovely.” Toby said sweetly, not meaning it in a flirty sense, he was just being sincere. "You're not alone though, mate. I don't have many friends either aside from a close few, but that is probably in account of me being too shy and awkward..." Toby shared with a laugh, before continuing with an easy going tone. "You and your brother Edmund seem to have a great relationship though." Lusie teased him about practicing before their dinner at the castle and he laughed again. There was definitely a bit of nervousness that set in for visiting the Windsor castle, but he was looking forward to it. He got along with Lusie swimmingly, and her brother Edmund was quickly becoming a good friend too. Surprisingly enough dining in the dark had him feeling like he was more prepared. "I'll have you know, in proper lighting, my table manners are outstanding." he said in a dorky confidence. If there was one thing he was confident that he was good at, it was manners, and overall politeness.

Lusie had never really had a lot of friends. Even when she was used by that girl a few years ago. Before then, she was friendly and kind to all, but, the fact remained that she was a quiet and awkward individual. Even as a young girl, especially as a young girl, actually. She was better now, well she was getting better. She was making much more of an effort now to get out of her shell and experience more of the world before she was thrust out into it. Trust had never been an easy thing for her. “Yeah, my siblings are the best. All of them, but maybe Ed a little more than the older ones.” Ed and Lusie had spent the most time together. Will and Susan went off to school sooner. She and Ed were so close in age that they grew up together. Plus, she knew Ed didn’t always get along with the others as well, Lucy liked to always be there for him so that she was sure that someone would.
He told her that he had ‘outstanding’ table manners and she didn’t really doubt it, but she did give a little giggle. “Well, actually, we don’t usually eat at a big table with all the proper knives and forks and such. I feel like people think we do. We only do that if it’s a special occasion or if we have someone to impress.” she told him, letting him into the reality of royal life. “There have been several times where I’ve eaten ice cream out of the carton at that big dining table.” she teased, mostly, she realized, teasing herself.

Toby listened with interest as Lusie spoke about her family, Edmund in particular, quite enjoying his time learning more about his friends. This 'date' ended up being much more fun than he thought it would be. Once he put the mystery together at who was across the table from him, his nervousness basically fizzled completely away. "That's a very special relationship to have with a sibling. Have you and Ed always been so close?" Toby asked, genuinely interested. Sometimes events through the years drew people closer, and some people were drawn to each other with a strong relationship starting at birth. A laugh slipped past Tobys lips as he thought about his own family, "I grew up afraid of my sisters. Well...Claudia, mostly. Who's a year younger, but she's a savage." he told her genuinely serious with another laugh, before sharing a bit deeper. "Claudia used to throat punch me when we were little...and anyone else that looks at her the wrong way. I admire her fierceness though. She could be the leader of a gang." Toby snorted, a smile could be heard in his voice. This certainly made him stronger. Through the years, Toby developed a sense of humor because of his 'mean' sisters. Really, he was just kind of a marshmallow. Too soft.
Lusie shared that they rarely ate at the big table and he let out a disappointed sigh. "Ah, I've always pictured full service 12 course meals with full silverware spread...and ice sculptures." Toby said a hint of playful sarcasm, before continuing. "It sounds like you guys know how to party though, because eating straight from the carton is by far best way to eat ice cream, if you ask me." he said with a smile, before asking in a serious jest, "Now the real question is: Favorite ice cream flavor?"

Lusie nodded when he asked if she and Ed had always been close. “Yeah, the others don’t always get Ed. I seem to understand him pretty well. So it’s mostly always been the two of us.” Though Susan and Will liked to spend time with Lusie too, and they tried to spend time with Ed, she knew, but, he didn’t always want that sort of thing. She knew that he usually told her things first and then would tell Susan or Will if she suggested that he might want to. Like when he first told her about Addi, she suggested that he talk to Will because Will had the most experience with dating. Lusie had never been on a date. Well, until now. She laughed when he told her about his sister and the way that she used to treat him. “Well that’s good I suppose. At least you know that no one will mess with her.” Lusie smiled. Lusie liked fierce women, though she wasn’t really confident enough to be one herself, plus, it wasn’t polite. And she always had to be polite.
“Only if we’re hosting someone else.” Lusie admitted. When they hosted other royalty or politicians, they did tend to pull out all the stops. But, usually, that wasn’t the case. And most of the time, when it was the case, Lusie would do everything she could do to not get invited. “I love cookies and cream.” she replied when he asked what flavor of ice cream. “But I’d never turn down chocolate brownie either.” honestly, the more sugar the better.

Toby listened as she explained her relationship with her brother Edmund. He was the brother that he met in the hospital wing that one day after the bloody snargaluff incident. "That's really cool that you guys have each other. He really loves you. I was pretty sure he was going to maim me that day in the hospital wing." Toby said with a chuckle. When she mentioned that it was good that Claudia was a fierce female, he agreed easily, knowing that Claudia could probably find a way to roundhouse kick somebody if she really wanted to. Hell, she could probably protect him, but he wouldn't allow that, due to it being far to demasculinizing.
The Eagle nodded his head up and down in approval when she said cookies and cream was her favorite ice cream, following with chocolate brownie. "Both of those are respectable choices. What kind of monster turns down ice cream? Heh, I could never turn down ice cream, period." he admitted with a smile before dorkily declaring to his friend, "...we should get ice cream." @lusie

Lusie laughed thinking back to that experience in the hospital wing with her friend and her brother. It had been the most annoyed that she had been in a long time. “I felt like I was going to maim him to be completely honest. Until I passed out.” she admitted. She loved her brother, quite a lot, and that was obvious to anyone who saw the two of them together, but, she hated that he blamed Toby, initially, for her injury. It hadn’t been his fault and Ed was too quick to jump to conclusions. Oh well, it was easy to laugh about it all now. It seemed like a while ago even though it was just at the start of the month. The scar still haunted her arm, but she liked it, actually. She felt like it made her more exciting as a person. It gave her a bit of a backstory.
“We should get Ice cream!” The Hufflepuff agreed excitedly. “You suppose they have any here for after dinner? Or we could go somewhere else, now that we know who one another is.” she suggested. Maybe she’d ask to have ice cream when he came to hang out at the castle in a few days. That could be fun, she wanted to keep that day casual and not intimate him too much. She was sure the staff would do that already by just existing in the castle. Hopefully, Ed and her other siblings would take it easy on him.

When she joked about maiming her brother, a laugh escaped from his lips. "Would have been cute to see you try." he teased, knowing she wouldn't be capable of committing such an act of violence. Lusie would be much easier to get along with.
Lusie agreed about ice cream excitedly, he could picture the delight on her face just by the tone of her voice. "We should definitely go out for ice cream afterwards." Toby agreed easily, a chuckle slipping from his lips. He was eager to hang out with Lusie. She was really sweet and she made him happy whenever they hung around each other. It was really easy. There weren't many classmates whom he felt comfortable being himself around like that, he always felt like he was trying to gain peoples acceptance but with Lusie it wasn't really like that. She was polite, and a little awkward like him at times, so it was probably why they got along so well. "I would much rather be able to see you when I talk to you. This hiding identities in the dark stuff is weird." he admitted in a friendly tone, before asking, "Have you heard of the Muggle ice cream parlor here in London that puts the ice cream inside of a glazed donut?" She seemed like she enjoyed sweets, that would probably be her style.

He suggested that it would be cute to see her try to maim her brother and she laughed and rolled her eyes. “I think Ed was stronger than me in that moment. I was a little drugged.” she admitted. Though Ed had really annoyed her in that moment. But at least now he and Toby were becoming friends so she could put that day behind her. “If you didn’t notice.” she giggled. Back on the subject of ice cream, the young princess was incredibly into the idea. “Yes, let's do it! Do you know anywhere in London that has ice cream?” she loved just being out without a bodyguard, at least she could milk that experience for a little while longer. Then he brought up a place that put ice cream into doughnuts and she swore her jaw dropped clear down to the table. It was lucky that he couldn’t see her because this was anything but lady like. “No! Let’s go there! Quickly.” she exclaimed, but tried to keep a normal volume as to not disturb anyone else around them. She was nearly done with her food at least, though she also wasn’t enjoying it as much as she wanted to be, it was weird eating in the dark and she couldn’t get over that.

It seemed like Lusie really liked ice cream. That was good know know, now he knew some inside information if he ever had to get on her good side, not that he ever planned pissing her off. Another laugh slipped past his lips when she demanded ice cream in an excited tone, her excitement rubbing off on him easily. She was so adorable. This date had ended up being so much better than he could have imagined. Before coming he was ready to embarrass himself or for her to walk out. Luckily she hadn't done either tonight, which was such a relief for the Ravenclaw. Maybe he was a worrier, just a little bit. "You sound like you need a sugar fix. I will show you this mouthwatering spectacle." Toby agreed in a dramatic tone. By the tone of her voice, she sounded like she was ready to go too, which was a relief. Toby placed the payment into envelope and tucked it away hoping that she wouldn't notice and make a fuss about it because he would right back. Toby pushed his chair out, still unable to see whats around him but he wanted to slip out without making a scene either. "Lets get out of here!" he told her enthusiastically.
(We can totally start ending it!!)

Lusie had no qualms of skipping out on the last part of her ‘date’ in order to go and get ice cream with her friend. Ice cream was one of Lusie’s favorite things, but, it wasn’t something that she are regularly. Honestly, she liked most sugary treats, she had a sweet tooth that she normally satisfied in the form of biscuits and cookies with her tea before bed at night. She was known to sneak to the kitchens and the house elves there always were eager to help her. She loved that. It reminded her of the staff at home. Lusie could very easily take care of herself and make herself a cup of tea, she didn’t grow up with staff helping her all day every day, but it was kind of nice. She didn’t mind the luxury. She followed Toby out of the place when he suggested they get out of here. It was dark and hard to find their way out, but once they made it out, Lusie was able to relax and breath again. It was just Toby, she had nothing to be anxious about.
