Edward almost wipes the frosting (pink and white) against his lab coat, changing his mind and wiping it off on the tablecloth instead.
"Sorry, but I made no plans to visit the concert hall this week," he says, trying to sound dry and ending closer to 'strained'. This obviously isn't the massive one he knows, but it's the one experience he has with such a thing.
He knows things about children, or at least their brains and ways how they differ from adults', but in practice his knowledge is limited. They tend to be obnoxious and loud when it's most inconvenient, they can learn certain things more quickly than adults but fail to put that information to use, and they're often nastier than adults around them want to think. Most of these he knows from when he was young. The university tends to be low on them, aside from the occasional young mother that bring toddlers around when they can't find sitters for a class or two.
Sharp eyes slip to the surrounding cakes, and then back to the child. "You're risking your own mouth, then." He doesn't quite believe them.
