Chad grinned at the applause he received and had just sat down and he realized he'd forgotten something. "Shoot, you said napkins too, didn't you?" he asked, more rhetorically than an actual question. Standing up again, Chad sauntered back over to the stand, catching the eye of the man behind the counter who chuckled at him and Chad returned the laugh. Picking up a handful, Chad went back to the table and divided the pile in half, giving one part to Allegra. As he sat again, a sigh escaped him. Now he was starving.
Taking the top bun off again, Chad loaded up his burger with all the fun things, put it back together and took a big bite. "Mmm...oh yeah," Chad mumbled contently, "This is good. How's yours?"

She didn't bother hiding her giggle this time as he had to run off for the napkins. She was pleased he got them, but she hadn't expected him to make a fourth trip back. It would have been easy enough to pretend he hadn't heard, and she felt kind of special knowing he wouldn't do that.
Allegra was only half paying attention to the assembly of her burger, having much more fun watching him do the same. When he apparently enjoyed his first bite, she grinned and quickly started putting together her own. She took a big bite, not really caring how unlady-like it might look, and gave a happy sigh. "Mmmmm... yummy..." she agreed.

Chad watched Allegra take a big bite out of her hamburger as well. She looked cute when she ate, even if it was a little unlady-like. That was one of the things Chad liked about her, actually. It seemed like she wasn't afraid to let loose. He admired that.
Waiting until he'd chewed and swallowed completely, Chad turned his attention back to Allegra. "Is there anything else you want?" he asked her, taking another bite while he waited for an answer.

"I'm good," Allegra answered, grinning back and hoping she still didn't have hamburger in her teeth. He had already done a lot already and she didn't want him to think she was demanding more.
"You're already spoiling me, you know that?" she said after taking a swig of butterbeer to make sure her mouth was clear.

Chad just nodded as she said she was fine, for his mouth was full and he didn't want to speak until it wasn't. But then she started accusing him of spoiling her already. Chad's cheeks flushed slightly and he took an extra long time to swallow so he could think of something good to answer with. "Am I really?" was all he got out. He looked over at the girl and grinned sheepishly, looking down at his tray quickly. Chad couldn't help it if he was. He really liked Allegra and he felt like she should be spoiled.
Munching on a couple fries, Chad dared to look at Allegra again. "I don't mind doing it, you know," he told her, "'Spoiling you', if that's what you want to call it. I don't mind. As long as you don't either."

"I don't mind," Allegra answered with a small smile. When the wrong guy tried to spoil you, it just felt creepy and obsessive, but when the right guy did it, it sure felt nice. She just hoped he didn't think she was the kind of girl who would take advantage of it all. Allegra didn't think she was that kind of person.
"It just means I'll have to figure out a way to reciprocate," Allegra added as she took another bite of her burger. She wasn't too sure what she could do, but she'd think of something.

Chad chuckled softly and looked over at Allegra. He was glad she didn't mind because he was planning on continuing it anyways. He continued to munch some fries and took a sip of his drink, hoping to swish any residue out of his teeth. He sent her a look, however, when she insisted on paying him back. "It's really not necessary at all, Allegra," he tried to convince her. Chad wasn't just doing this so he could get something out of it, he was doing it just because he wanted to.

"I didn't mean that it was necessary," Allegra pointed out, nibbling on her own fries thoughtfully. It wasn't necessary for him to spoil her now, was it? "It's just something I want to do. I just have to figure out something that matches all of this..."
She gave him a small smile before taking another swig of her butterbeer. "So what else do you have planned for this evening, Mr. Embers?" she asked, figuring he had at least a basic idea about what to do next.

"I really...wish I had something cool to tell you," Chad laughed in response to her question, "I figured we could hit some stores and do a little shopping if you wanted to. Then maybe hang around to see the lights when it gets darker." He returned to his food, taking another few bites of his hamburger and finishing it off. Chad had been really hungry.
"Was there something in particular you wanted to see or do?" Chad asked, curious about her ideas for the day.

"That's sounds pretty cool to me," Allegra responded, stealing one of his last fries even though she had plenty of her own. Shopping was always a good thing, even if it was only window shopping, especially when the store fronts were all decked out for the holiday. And the lights were always a highlight of the season for Allegra.
She took a bit longer to finish off her own hamburger, but it wasn't more than a few extra bites. Everything so far had been perfect and she was anticipating spending the rest of the day with someone as nice as Chad.

Chad snorted as Allegra stole a fry out of his tray just as his hand was reaching in to take one. "Now you owe me for that fry too," he joked with a laugh. He finished off his fries, now thoroughly stuffed. He'd eaten too fast and it was all just sitting there in a lump down. Chad took a swig of his drink, finishing off the last little bit of it as well, trying to make the lump move. He hated when that happened.
Leaning back in his chair, Chad rubbed his tummy contently. "Pleh," he groaned, "I am stuffed. I ate a little too fast."

"Then we'll be sure not to go on any rides next," Allegra told him with a small smirk as she finished off her last bit of burger. On the subject of owing him, she could think of a few things, but really didn't want to be too forward.
"So with that idea thrown out, what are we doing next?" she asked. She was up for any of the ideas he had just suggested and none of them involved fast moving parts of any kind.

"Why don't we hit some shops?" Chad suggested, piling his garbage back onto his tray, "I feel the urge to spend some more money." On you, Chad added silently in his head. He looked at Allegra, just smiling at her for a moment until he stood up and picked up his tray. He reached out for hers too. "Are you finished?" he asked.

Allegra wasn't the stereotypical big spender, but she did like shopping, and she especially liked window shopping. And window shopping during the holidays was always the best because the store fronts always had something interesting to look at.
"Yes, thanks" she stated, answering his question with a smile. Of course she was more than capable of bussing her own tray, but it was sure nice that he did it for her. "Exactly what do plan on buying?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Chad ominously left the table at her comment, taking his time in tossing their garbage out and taking the trays back to the stand where they had gotten their food. He turned back to Allegra, smirking playfully as he made his way back to where she stood. "Just never you mind," he answered with a wink and a chuckle. Chad's eyes glanced over Allegra once, just smiling before he looked out at the Alley once more. "Your choice," he told her, "Where do we start?"
