Ryu really could not resist the chuckle that began in his stomach and escaped through his almost grinning mouth. Endearing was a word that he heard often with regards to his father and could recall all too well how painfully awkward it had been as a teen to have friends, regardless of gender, describe your overbearing parent as such. Still, there were a great many more worse things to be considered and there was some relief that at least Ruby had entered this agreement in good spirits and not entirely because she had been worn down and had only agreed to get the man off her back about it. "That is certainly one way to think about it," he nodded with a sheepish rub to the back of his neck. Only half of the story, in his opinion, and not the sort of discussion to dive into on a first (and potentially only) date. Nor was his family's rather ... complicated ... family history, but certain elements of it would inevitably unavoidable. He could even feel certain nagging scratches surfacing already with her words. "Well, family is everything to me. I would, and have, dropped everything to be there for my brothers and sister when the need arose, and fought alongside my old man in the war."

So, perhaps they could let all that speak for itself. At least he was as he offered her another smile, and resisted making too obvious of a gagging face at his charm being comparable to the Minister's, before following her inside of the tea shop and ensuring that the door closed quietly behind them. The little bell on the door or wherever the DING had come from had drawn enough attention from other ~~significantly younger~~ patrons.

"Well, it may then please you to know that I did not, in fact, purchase anything," he assured her as he gestured to the table and pulled out the nearest chair for her to sit. None of this would be considered 'charm' to the Gryffindor but rather manners an etiquette...which was perhaps why these steps came naturally to him. "Much more of a...foraging, effort." Down to the vase in which the couple of branches from one of the numerous plum trees in the garden and grounds surrounding Himitsumahou. He would have offered a branch adorned with cherry blossoms were it a bit later in the year, but he often found plum blossoms to be the more exquisite between the flora and the one far too often overshadowed by its symbol of spring counterpart and the particular branches he had cut and placed in the jar (Suoubai) among his favorite blossoms in existence. "They have traveled all the way from Japan to meet you and I would be very much relieved if you accepted them," he teased gently with a chuckle.
