"Never fear. I would never give away all my secrets on the first day." The conversation flows smoothly, full of small talk that leads to insight on who they are as they walk the halls towards the exit.
"Well, I work, so that's a bit of a time leech, but it's not horrible." Especially since she gets to sing for tips and design ice cream at times. Yes please. "If you ever stop by the Cold Stone downtown, feel free to stop in." She mulls over her other hobbies, knowing some of them aren't exactly inviting to others, but refuses to let it slow her pace or their conversation.
"My family's local, too, so I see them. That kind of varies on what we do, though." She glances up at him from the side.
"What about you? What do you do when you're not pushing yourself or drowning in textbooks?"

"Not a lot, honestly. I'm very achievement driven. I've tried to relax and pick up some leisure activities, but it ends up giving me anxiety that I'm wasting time not working towards any goals. So if I'm not learning something or exercising then I feel like I'm wasting time. Present moment not included." He glances to her as well.
"Do you have a big family?"

He certainly seemed like a goal-driven man, though the two subjects mentioned alone would be enough to leech at anyone's time. It made sense that he wouldn't have much else to focus on if he wanted to push himself, but Kasey figured Greyson had to have something else he did. After all, as he himself pointed out, he was able to make time to give her the tour and a bit of a tease.
"Big enough," she admits with a nod. Skipping over the subject of possibly questionable hobbies and onto family helps her relax again, a slight shift in the the way her shoulders relax and her eyes warm. "We're not that big, I guess; it's me, my mom, and my brothers, but it's good enough for the four of us." She looks back to Greyson, studying him for a moment.
"I'm guessing you're an only child? Or the oldest, at most."

"Only." he nods. He's about to add to that simply because she offered much more information, but he doesn't for a few different reasons. He decides to move on.
"Your brothers, older or younger? I should probably know if I might need to run way from a pissed off big brother in the future."

"Knew it." She looks pleased with herself, but doesn't indulge in what lead her to draw that conclusion. They're already moving on to the next stage of family, and, for a moment, Kasey indulges in the mental image Greyson provides. Her shoulders shake with suppressed mirth.
"Oh no, you'll need to worry about getting double-teamed," she warns him with a mock serious expression. "One older and one younger. The little guy's sneaky. Don't let on that I warned you ahead of time."

"First thing that came to mind is that trick where someone kneels behind you and the other one pushes you over. That's what I imagine them trying to do when I eventually break your heart." He holds up a hand as if to cut off her next question.
"I know--just accept it. Its inevitable."

"Probably." She outright giggles this time at the imagery and shakes her head. "Looks like they'll have to step up they're game if you're already on to them."
"Tut. You have a lot of faith in your ability, Greyson." She gives him an impish grin. "What if I end up breaking your heart?"

"Hell, you're already on your way to doing so. You left it at a 'maybe' for coming up to my room." He pouts.

For some reason, she finds the pout adorable. Kasey pats his arm with her free hand as though to console him.
"There, there. No need to fret, Greyson. You admitted you like the challenge."

"What if I was faking it?" He sniffles.

Kasey takes a moment to ponder her answer for theatrics's sake, covering her heart with her hand before giving him a look with the most solemn, soulful eyes she's done in ages.
"Then I would have to let you down gently, tell you there's an excellent girl - or anyone - out there for you somewhere. It might even be me! You just have to be patient."

He throws his head back as he laughs quietly but heartily.
"I have learned to be patient. I guess the question is if the reward is worth the wait." he stares at her, regarding her with a finger to his chin as he studies her features.

"Have you? Really?" There's an upbeat challenge in her voice as she shakes her head. "But you were ready for day one - hour one!" She laughs again, knowing she wouldn't have gone with him and letting the playful chiding speak for her. Assuming, of course, that he is joking as well.
"Well, if you're a pre-med, I think patience is required. But if you're really that much in doubt..." She steps back from him, fingertips grazing his arm as she lets him see what he already has. Without her typical jacket or glasses, there's actually a bit of a figure showing, though Kasey seems petite and compact in general.
"You tell me, and I'll give you a hint if you're right or not," she teases.

He rests his chin between his thumb and forefinger as he takes his time looking her over in thought. He removes his hand from his chin, pointing the now finger gun at her.
"You definitely look the part and are interesting enough so far...but I've read some pretty shitty books with lavish covers and promising synopsis."

"You and most people who hit puberty." She rolls her eyes, but the easy-going tone and body language suggest he's made the right call.
"You're just honest about it."
