"What?! No!" Basil replied a little too loudly. While there were still commuters on the train with them, they were only a sparse few, but too much sound from the invisible man might freak them out. Even now, one started to react to his shout a bit confused about who made it.
Basil scrambled upright as quickly as he could and sat down, then pulled at Colette's sleeve to encourage her to do the same. Basil sat himself at the edge of the bench and against the armrest, pulling Colette as close as he could. In this position she looked a bit weird since she was leaning into something not there, but no one would try to sit in the spot next to her and inadvertently sit in his lap. His arm rested upon what would be her clavicle (if she had one) and his hand on her shoulder, her back snug against his chest. He started whispering into her ear to avoid a problem with the other passengers.
"You're not even close to the worst one. But... I mean...
My stuff got lifted, I scared you trying to get it back and you got harassed. Then I didn't get to take you somewhere nice and you got harassed a second time. Everything went swimmingly after that until... whatever the hell is going on with me now started and I scared you a second time.
Then I almost got us eaten by the train in my haste to get back to a place to hide from this... horrid curse".
The only thing he could possibly be referring to was the invisibility.
"I just figured that cake topper would make you not want to do this again."
