Did she mishear him or that was the exact thing he said to her? Well Jocelyn, it would be rude to refuse as this man asked her politely. And because she had to be a better person than she already was, she nodded hesitantly.
"S-sure. No one seats here."
Allowed Yunru to sit? Yes. Cleaning her paper so it would look better? Yes. But the Staring Cautiously at The Stranger I Met in Tea House was still going on. Hey, a girl needs to watch out for her surroundings!

"Well... I promise I won't disrupt you or make unnecessary contact if you feel discomfort with me. I'll try not to stay too long then. If a free table appears elsewhere then I will move if you like." He spoke slowly and carefully. His eyebrows furrowed with concern. Was his presence really that bad?

"N-no, i-it's okay lah. Uh, you are free to sit here and take your dinner. I-I don't mind.."
That came out somewhat wrong was it? But what you have said could not be undone, Jocelyn just shifted her attention to her papers and took a sip of her tea when she realized..
..Those scones Yunru had looked really tempting.

He glanced at the woman again. He still didn't know her name. But he did manage to see her secretly peeking at his scones. He smiled. She didn't seem to have food on her table so she must be hungry. Plus she was working so hard, so she must have gotten an appetite. You can't work or gamble on an empty stomach right?
"Would you like to have a scone? Really, it's a shame if you didn't try one. They are very good."

"Um, no I don't take scones. They are too sweet.."
She paused for a bit before continuing.
"Or they aren't?"

Then he looked down at his hands, hoping that he wasn't intimidating her with his gaze. She did seem uncomfortable with him earlier. He licked the sticky blob of jam off his index finger before continuing, "I hope you don't mind me asking for your name. I would very much like to know it senhora*. I am sorry if I'm being too forward though." Yunru gave a sheepish smile.
*senhora [lady - Portuguese] ...I hope orz

After she finished her scone she just realized Yunru was asking for her name. However, Jocelyn was quite disturbed at how the man licked his finger in the middle of public, so instead of answering hi question, she took a worse pick and decided to..
......Scold.
"I am more concerned on how you forgot your manner by licking your finger in front of a person you just met! Very tak tahan lah!"Good job Jocelyn, in one of the rare chance where someone approached to make friends with you, you destroyed ( ... )

Then glancing at her, he smiled and repeated his question, "So, can I have the pleasure of knowing your name? Although I initially intended to leave quickly, I'm afraid I've come to enjoy the company... I hope you don't mind."
Yunru found himself going home later than he expected. The small detour wasn't so small after all.

"J-Jocelyn.. My name is Jocelyn, nice meeting you."
She gives a nervous little wave before continuing to finish the scone. Perhaps they could meet again and have a better time next time.
