"No biggie." Graham smiled. He probably would have told anyone else to bugger off about it, but Astoria was too sweet for that.

He was rather cute when he smiled. Cute - not a word she would have associated with him, really, but there it was - in the way that he seemed very genuine. It was a 'biggie' as he put it, and Astoria knew that; he wasn't the type to compromise. Slowly, she lifted her small hand, resting it on his jaw, and smiled up at him, "It is to me." She assured.

Graham let his gaze drop for a moment at her tender touch. The whole nice guy thing made him feel a bit uncomfortable when people pointed it out to him. For once he was at a loss for words, not sure how to reply to that.

Feeling she had made him uncomfortable, Astoria withdrew her hand, her stomach twisting in discomfort, herself. She'd just made a mess, hadn't she? Probably scared him off! For a moment, she wondered what she should do, before folding her hands in her lap. Now she just felt silly!

His silence hadn't been to make Astoria feel as uncomfortable as he did. No, he had hoped he wouldn't say something stupid and ruin it. Obviously that had been the wrong choice. Graham needed to fix it so reached over brushing a strand of hair away from Astoria's face and offered a soft smile.

The smile would have been lost on Astoria, who didn't want to look up at him again, for fear that she had really done something ridiculous. However, when his fingers deftly pushed her hair back, she couldn't help it. She glanced up to find that she'd not scared him off at all, something she was grateful for, and that he seemed to be... well, pleased, with her forwardness. She still didn't know what to say, and her cheeks were once again heating and turning red, so she said nothing at all, just smiling back.

"That's what I like to see." Graham informed. Astoria smiling made him happy. He felt that she was meant to, it seemed right.

"After such serious conversation, even" Astoria nodded, her smile remaining just as her blush and her ever-worsening crush did.

"Even then." Graham confirmed. He was a mostly serious guy but a smile made all the difference. It kept him from being too much of a downer.

"I'll try to do it more often for you, then" Astoria promised, smiling a bit wider at the thought of it.

"Excellent." His smile widened too. It seemed as though it couldn't be helped though.

She wanted to kiss him. She thought about it, too, very seriously, before deciding that she couldn't - it was just too forward for her. "You'll have to promise the same," She told him, pointing her finger at him accusingly.

There was a moment's pause while Graham thought that over. He was pretty sure he could make that promise considering smiling more often didn't specify when he had to do it, like in front of his mates for example. "Deal."

Astoria offered her hand, as though to shake on it, still smiling. "Deal." She agreed.

Graham shook on it. "Lets get out of here. Supper is soon and I'm starving."
