[ emma would make a comment about overexaggeration, but then the door is open and the chilly air hits her full in the face — and shivering is plenty distracting to keep at least a little of her sass at bay (for a moment).
she holds the shawl tighter around her shoulders as they walk, and she finds herself appreciating the low light, now that the sun is setting earlier and earlier these days. it's cold, certainly, and only due to get colder, but emma is hardly one to complain; in fact, she rather likes winter and the quiet peace that tends to accompany the shorter days. admittedly, she's less fond of working harder to keep warm during that time, but it's not unbearable, is what it truly comes down to.
glancing over when faraday breaks the silence, she quickly takes stock of their surroundings to ensure that they're by and large alone — no one to overhear her talking to what would look to be entirely empty air. ]
Then I'm afaid he may be due for a disappointment.
[ because, honestly, emma isn't interested in teddy. never has been and never expects to see that changing. he's a friend, certainly, and a sweet boy, but...she finds it difficult to see him as anything more. ]

Teddy is not a man I would be likely to fancy.
[ simple as that. ]
