[ the most deadpan answer to ever deadpan and he says it while taking a big bite of his sundae. And then nearly choked at the next question.]
What? Ew no! That'd be like dating my sister! Please, she's cute and all but no. And I'm totally sure she's not crushing on me. She's dating my best friend, after all.
[ She offers a shrug in response to his first statement, taking another bite of bagel and chewing it as though she hadn't pitched something incredulous. It is a little amusing to hear him protest so strongly. Makes it tempting to tease him, but she decides to spare him for the moment. ]
If it bothers you, you should tell her to knock it off. [ A beat. ] That might not be easy, though. She's already had a taste of steak off your yen. It's only natural to return when and where the eating is good.
I do. Every time. [ he rolls his eyes, taking another bite as he listens. ] Please stop, that's not the reason either. But she has knocked it off since I got here. And I'm not about to bring that up with her again so.
Besides, you don't even need a job to make money here so it's not like she has a reason to mooch anymore.
[ As long as he acknowledges it as a legitimate reason. She wasn't joking. People and animals alike follow that pattern. An acquaintance from some decades ago might just show up at one's door for a fond meal remembered. ]
I wouldn't know anything about that. It's always been something for something as long as I can remember.
[ Someone, somewhere pays, but she isn't particularly keen upon pressing it. That statement of his says quite a bit about him by her reckoning. Not everyone lives so keenly aware either. ]
So, what have you got planned for the rest of the day?

[ And he always had a habit of giving and not always receiving any reciprocation. Nor did he ever ask. ]
