"I don't know. Lonely, apparently." Bill kept pointing that out, it was kind of starting to feel like a slam. "A bit peeved by whatever your workplace thinks they are doing."

He liked that it made Sam focus on him, of course. He didn't particularly enjoy the feeling of being tracked otherwise, not in any way. "I'm a bit hungry too, I haven't had breakfast yet. Er."

He didn't usually use filler words, but he was trying now. Would it work? He needed to word this well. Not force him. He was trying to not put any force into it. "There's a stand over there. I could buy you coffee. Do you--" He cut himself off, because that didn't always work. If he worded it as a question, it was taken as intent. So he trailed off and simply gestured to the stand and raised his eyebrows.
