[ This isn't a debate; it's more a gathering of minds, an attempt to puzzle out whatever in the Fury's name is going on here. And yet he concedes, and the satisfaction is immeasurable. His smile is returned with one of her own, though this one is decidedly less fond and more smug. Vindicated. Good thing Ardbert's too kind to call her out on her pettiness ( hopefully ).
At least she manages to keep herself quiet through all of this, waiting for him to take the strawberry off of her. It's not supposed to be anything momentous, in the grand scheme of things, and yet the same time he reaches for it she finds herself holding her breath. Like it's her living through the experience for the first time in centuries, and not him. The realisation should annoy her more than it actually does, and instead her eyes are watching him carefully as he takes the first bite.
There's no quip here; just absolute silence as he chews, and swallows. She turns back around to reach for another one, popping it in her mouth. It's good. That's about all she can say, and yet her heart's hammering in her chest.
Eventually, once 10 seconds and an eternity have passed— ] Not bad, hm?
