[The silence also killed him, he was wondering whether or not he did the right thing, said the right thing. When she breaks the silence, he is relieved and smiles softly.]
Fair enough, remember, you pretty much know my story and I seriously meant it when I said I owe you a butterbeer for the conversation.
Whether you want that drink for serious talk or just shoot the breeze, that's up to you. Think of it as revenge if that helps to vent at me one of these days if you need it. I did vent at you first so, you can always even the score, plus that sort of thing probably helps at the being a good person thing. So win-win.
[Al tried to keep his tone lighthearted for the second half, the revenge thing was almost said jokingly, Al is just about at his limit, but if he ever wanted to be useful to those he is close to...isn't this where it starts?
She does have a point, they don't know each other well. He is pretty sure the next opportunity, he might change topics. At this point, he probably did good enough, right?]
