I'll set sporadic reminders on my phone for it, since I know you're a glutton for compliments.
If I tell you, it would ruin the surprise. If I don't tell you, I'm worried about how fast you're going to launch your little French self at me when I walk through the door.
Can't have you going mad, though, so; it's those little pastries you rhapsodize over any time someone mentions Toronto.
[ Which is, consequently, where he's coming from. ]
It would be no faster than usual. But now I must take care, so I do not destroy the surprise. That would be the true tragedy, as you are sturdy and not easy to knock over.
[ Can he tell she's antsy to know? ]
Oh Arthur!
[ She's too dignified to send him a series of !!!!!!!!, which might've happened were she drunk, but it is implied all the same. ]
Don't let it go to your head too much, I really don't need Dom giving me that one look.
[ That disapproving dad stare. ]
I'm sturdy but you're a whirlwind. Practically a natural disaster.
Also, I picked them up this morning on my way to the airport, so they're as fresh as can be. I got Dom something but it isn't sweets since he always looks like I just kicked his puppy when I do that.

Do you not find the outskirts charming?
no subject
They're only charming once I'm not dealing with the poor excuse for driving this city has to offer.
Bringing you a present, by the way.
no subject
A present! What is it?
[ A beat later. ]
Oh, but you cannot ruin the surprise. It is a surprise?
[ A longer span (but not too long, because she beats him to responding). ]
You should tell me anyway, or else I'll go mad with curiosity.

[ Oh, but she has seen that look he gives both Arthur and Eames, and a generous many other connoisseur of Dreamshare. It cannot be helped. ]
Arthur are you implying that I am heavier than you?
Fresh! Mon dieu, toi bel homme. Let him pout over the sweets, it means there are more for you and I. He's no need of them.
no subject
[ It's just who he is. Arthur might be the one serving chilly judgment, but Dom is the disappointed father. There's a difference. ]
What? No, I was commenting on velocity, of course.
I don't know if I need any of these, just looking at one made my blood sugar go through the roof.
no subject
[ It's all she will say of the matter. They're both grown men. ]
Velocity, of course. It's a wonder you've not charmed countless men and women with your mind, darling.
And of course you need plenty. You'll sit there while I eat them? I'm disappointed in you.
no subject
[ There's one night stands, of course, but he's picky as ever. ]
Fine, alright, I'll have a couple at most. And I won't be watching you eat them, I'll have my good friend wine to keep me company.
no subject
I know just the thing to fix this! ♥
[ At this rate, he will refuse to ever visit again. Or for a month, at most, and she will be terribly cross with him for it. ]
A couple is acceptable. [ For she intends to convince him to consuming more. ] Wine and sweets are the perfect pair. It's like us.
no subject
Why do I get a sinking feeling when you say that?
[ MAL WHAT ARE YOU PLOTTING ]
Obviously you're the sweets. [ Oh, smooth. ]
no subject
Trust me, chérie.
[ NOTHING, SHE IS INNOCENT OF ALL TERRIBLE THINGS YOU'RE THINKING OF, ARTHUR. ]
You are a red wine then, I've decided.
