The simple matter of ordering is done almost immediately, leaving about half an hour to fill while he waits for it to arrive as Alejandro goes off to make his phonecalls. It's nearly physically painful to watch him walk out the door-
You're going to have to, Winters. He's walking out after dinner. You remember how this goes at first.
-but he's a big boy with a big boy understanding of how the world works and it's not as if he isn't already settling himself to the idea that they're once again going to be maneuvering around at least one spouse. Not the first time, not going to be the last time. #fml indeed.
But the food comes and he's got it mostly laid out for the two of them when he goes to find Alejandro and it's in this moment that perhaps the reason for his wrong guess becomes clear, because Alejandro has now seen the look on Jon's face when he's listening to the lovely sounds of a foreign language he doesn't understand and what it looks like when the words are filtering in and being processed.
And there is no doubt that it is option B as he hears the ancient language down the hall. Even less when he murmurs something that sounds very like "good luck with that" right back in it before breathing in and fluttering a wave to make sure it's clear that the food is both here and ready for them.
