[A perimeter... Why does this sound more like an operation busting a criminal ring at his job than an ordinary outing? He does appreciate her thoroughness, though, so he'll nod his agreement to her suggestions.
As for Cerys, she flushes at being asked the question, and not-so-subtly hides the half-eaten muffin behind her back.] I don't want anything.
[Barnaby probably should have expected that. She's really not used to being honest with her feelings, and she seems especially shy with Ciel... but rather than fluster her any more, he'll just offer some suggestions of his own.]
Even if you're not hungry now, we're thinking about when you get there. Fruit is always nice in hot weather, isn't it? [She just pouts and looks at the ground, so Barnaby gives Ciel an apologetic look.] As long as we bring a variety of food and snacks, everyone will have something they like, I think. [And he's sure he doesn't have to point out that the muffins seem to have been a hit, even with the moodiest little girl here.]
