"I will try anything once," he says it with a bit of a smile, then adds, "But yes, that sounds lovely. This seems a nice place."

Most of his exploration of businesses her in Duplicity so far has been limited to the club scene, so this is different. He lets her choose where to sit and will sit with her, and old instincts both have him sitting without his back to any exit and without blocking them either.

His constant awareness of his surrounds is clear enough, without him ever seeming inattentive to what Ducky's saying. It's a very well trained sense.

He nods as she names Alfred, he'll remember the name and positive judgement. "Perhaps I will come here again."

And he really might, his scene may be more the clubs but that's nightlife and he can enjoy other things. It may make him long for simple meal times with his team where there was almost always tea, but such reminders are inevitable.

He won't turn the line of conversation around to where this started until they have tea to talk over and Ducky indicates wanting to.
