"I should probably get going..." He said then with a smile of apology. "But I'll totally take a rain cheque? I wanna see more of this place first. If you're free tomorrow or later on I'll sit with you! There's a whole dining carriage back there!" He was more than happy to have a meal with a new friend, if he wasn't going to bother them by being there.
