Isabelle pauses, her head tilted to the side while she watches him try and remember what he was saying. He's just staring at her again, and she waits patiently until he picks up his train of thought again, even when it comes out more jumbled than he started.
When he does get his wits about him, he asks her on a date, and it's about the last thing Isabelle expected him to ask. She'd been prepared to be asked something more about the crown and the trident, or what Magnus thought about them, or how she was getting on learning them. Maybe something about how he'd vanished off home again, but definitely not a date. She's not surprised in a bad way, but she also didn't think she was really his type.
No, okay, Isabelle thinks she's everyone's type, but she definitely didn't think Billy liked her that way. She's hardly been subtle in her flirting, and he's never said anything before now. "What about Steph?" she asks, because it hadn't been that long ago that she'd found him crying into Naga's fur because his girlfriend disappeared. "I'm not saying no," she clarifies quickly. "I'd love to go on a date with you. I didn't think you wanted to."
