.Liam was oblivious to the looks that they were given by both the girls and the guys. I mean... It's not that he ignored them or whatever, he simply just didn't notice them. This, was probably from the years of 'focus-on-one-person-and-that's-it' training he'd given himself. Training, that in the end, made him more calm 'round big crowds. Never normal, but calm -- at least. Although he was acutely aware that she was within his 'no-go' zone, he stood perfectly still and didn't step 'way, for fear of looking completely and utterly rude. Trying to distract his mind from the closeness-factor, he glanced at the menu before ordering himself a double-scoop of bubble-gum icecream, and then Tex's huge-mongous banana split. With a slight smile, he turned back to her, "Yeah... It's handeled." Her next words made his expression drop, and probably his jaw as well. Shaking his head, he looked at her intently for a moment -- before deciding that he had to look 'way, since y'know, eye-contact was still sort of like some type of contact. And, yes, we all know that contact of any sort scares little li-li away. As he pulled a few rumpled bills from his jacket pocket, he said something 'neath his breath. It was barely audible, "You're... y'know, beautiful. They aren't just seeing things, I'd know... I am one of them, so I can... um, see it too." If she hadn't heard it, then, well... TOO BAD. Liam had already decided that he'd never say such a thing again... simply 'cause, I dunno, it was all warm and fuzzy -- and warm and fuzzy things just weren't him. Shrugging now, he glanced back down at her with a shy grin and edging-onto-sparkly-red cheeks. He looked 'way after a moment, only to accept the ice-cream treats that were being handed to him over the counter. After handing the dish of bananas and icecream to her, he changed their topic of conversation quickly, "Anyways... I'm still sorry for their proding. They seem to have a habit of doing such a thing... I suppose the other half of my apology to ya could be that banana split?"
