[There are too many fresh memories of what Gabriel did to the last diner they were in for William to feel ashamed at the look on Ned's face. Besides, who in their right mind would eat pie in front of an archangel when the archangel in question has nothing? A lunatic that was who.
He's not expecting the question from Ned though, ducking his head with what could be guilt, could be shame. With so many people around, stopping to talk with Gabriel was starting to look like one hell of a bad idea, and the principate is fumbling for an answer to that. Surely the easiest route would be to say no, he didn't like rhubarb but then Ned would feel exposed considering it was meant to be pie he had ordered.
Why were things never straight forwards?!]
Oh I just...changed my mind sorry and I didn't want to say..... [William just clears his throat with that one, suddenly wishing he was back in the comfort of his room. The threat of a jabberwocky right now is nothing to this awkward scenario he's found himself in.] Sorry. I thought he'd probably appreciate it more than I would.
