[She wouldn't be the Ice Queen without her totally blowing him off, so he isn't the least bit surprised. Being called a creep still does kind of hurt, though he tries not to present himself in a legitimately offended manner. Being upset isn't attractive; he needs to stay confident and obnoxiously blissful.
So without a beat, he continues.]
W-well... that's not all I wanted to do. They say the best way to begin a day is with a smile, so I decided to lend you my own.
[And then he throws her a toothy grin. Again. He's grasping at straws here.]
[If there's one thing she can ever give you credit for Inigo, it's being a stubborn and determined mule. But how many straws can you grasp at before you crumble?]
Yes, because if there's one thing I need, it's your smile to start my day. Look, I don't have time for your stupid flattery games today. [Oh if only she never had the time to be even remotely around any of their stupid games] I have things to do. [She waves a hand as if to try and shoo him off]
[Many, of course. It's only midday, so his flirting steam has not run out just yet.
Hearing her say that to him (even if it is entirely sarcastic) is music to his ears though, so he moves his hands away from his hips and ostentatiously bows before her.]
Well I'm happy to have been able to deliver. [And then he straightens back up, ready to take the opening she provided him with.] Would going out for tea with me be one of those things you have to do, by any chance?
[Man even the smallest things can fuel your fire huh, Inigo? Even if they are definitely not meant to.]
Ugh, does it sound like wasting any of my time with you is part of what I have to do today?? [Granted she is kinda. spending time with him right now b-BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE HE'S STICKING TO HER LIKE GLUE AND WON'T LEAVE baka] I have way more important things to do. Why don't you go throw yourself at some other girl who's stupid enough to fall for your flattery?
[And Inigo recognizes that, which is precisely why he points it out.]
Technically you are wasting some of your time on me right now. So why not waste some more time with a charmer like me, but over tea?
Besides, I couldn't imagine asking any other girl besides you out! [Bullshit.] It's precisely that cute pouting and cold shoulder that draws me to you in the first place. [Not bullshit.]
Gods, do you think anyone is stupid enough to believe that?? [She can believe the second part but the first part? There probably isn't one girl (or person) by now who doesn't know that that's complete bullshit right off the bat.]
I'm done wasting any more of my time on you. I'm busy, so just leave me alone! You're going to make me miss the sales! [SHE CAN'T MISS THOSE INIGO SHE SAW SOME CUTE THINGS THE OTHER DAY. and she. kinda needs to get to them for Robin too. Walking faster past you now]
Ahah, well... then! I couldn't imagine asking any other girl besides you out... today! [Ah? Ah? That's more believable, right?
--Wait, no, she's leaving! Perhaps a little too desperate in tone, Inigo stammers and calls out:] --W-wait! Sales, you say? If you're going shopping, you'd need a strong muscular man to help hold your bags, wouldn't you? I would never dare leave a lady to lug around such weight when she's trying to enjoy herself.
[Yes. That sounded great! Is he flexing now? He's flexing. His sleeves are so poofy that she wouldn't even be able to tell though and would just see him raising his arm in a position to flex.]
