We tested a theory last time, but now we can just have some for fun!
[onward!! to the ice cream shop!!! there are some people around, but as usual, they ignore the hell newbies which works out fine for Lavi. He's more preoccupied with staring down at all the thirty one tubs of ice cream arrayed out behind the glass.]
...This is a lot more variety than I expected. You think there's that big a difference between chocolate and chocolate chip?
Lavi will hand her the cup and go with a cone!! once they have their ice cream... he bites the chocolate part, wow, it's chocolate.
he bites the chocolate chip part, and squints.]
Same flavor, different texture.
[so he can see why.... they'd make two different flavors... he thinks.... he glances over at Four, how's her raspberry :( he hopes she likes it :( since this was his idea!!! :((]
[ she tries the ice cream delicately, very tentatively, and still gets brain freeze like a dumb baby. it's colder than she expected despite ice being in the name.
[lavi forgets being insecure in favor of being interested instead. experiences are good!!! they're always worth recording, and he's invested in four's experiences now,]
The temperature can be a shock if you're not used to it...
[brain freeze.... he holds up his hand like he's gonna put it on Four's forehead, pauses as he remembers that he was holding an ice cream cone?
then he unwinds his scarf and tries to wrap around Four instead,]
[ she doesn't know that much science. she simply thinks this is silly, but she leaves the scarf on for now. she takes a smaller spoonful of ice cream. ]
[ the unfortunate thing is that four is still very much a teenage girl outside of being evil and murderous and all those terrible things. she's easily swayed and flustered for someone who wields so much world destroying power.
she can't stop the embarrassing flush that rises to her cheeks, and she can't stop from shutting down for two seconds before she lashes out. she whips the scarf off her head and throws it at his face.
[it nearly lands in his ice cream, actually some of it probably did it's fine,
he pulls it down to look at Four, who's apparently not looking at him. HE REALLY DOES THINK SHE'S CUTE, HELP ME he can also put two and two together, thanks to Four's embarrassed flush]

Because of when we tried..... [ knock off mcdonalds. mcnaldos. ] That one time?
[ ... ]
We can go. I haven't tried much ice cream before....
[ so he'll have to rec some flavors. ]
no subject
but for now he's smiling, clearly relieved.]

no subject
Less chocolate if it's in chips? [ that's her guess. ] You can try both to find out.
[ four gravitates to flavors she's more used to even if she may or may not know what sherbet is. ]
I think I'll try the raspberry.
no subject
lavi will follow four's advice and get both chocolate and chocolate chip... he picks up a cone and cup, and holds out both to Four]
Cup's probably easier to eat from, but the cone's more traditional. Which one do you want?
no subject
she wants to go with a cone because it looks cute and more fun, but she's insecure about eating it neatly off a cone, so.... ]
I'll go with the cup.
no subject

no subject
she winces.
how is that for his insecurity? ]
no subject
-- Is it that bad?! [he's grabbing a napkin, and then waves it around in front of Four's face while in a panic]
Sorry, Clover -- here...!
[DOES HE EXPECT HER TO JUST SPIT MELTED ICE CREAM OUT???]
no subject
she swallows, mortified, and looks away. she waves a hand. ]
I was—surprised.
no subject
You can tell me if it was bad! I like it when you're honest.
[even if honest four also wrote all those zoo exhibit blurbs,]
no subject
[ she doesn't have much to compare it to. ]
It wasn't bad. Unexpected. Too cold.
no subject

[brain freeze.... he holds up his hand like he's gonna put it on Four's forehead, pauses as he remembers that he was holding an ice cream cone?

There. Maybe this'll help.
no subject
she blinks owlishly and tries to look up at the scarf that's not on her head. ]
How is that supposed to help?
no subject
It'll keep ya warm! Balance the cold.
[is that how it works... he also thinks Four looks cute blinking up at him while scarfed....]
no subject
I don't think it works that way.
[ she doesn't know that much science. she simply thinks this is silly, but she leaves the scarf on for now. she takes a smaller spoonful of ice cream. ]
no subject
he'll also Bite his ice cream, better to eat it soon or it'll melt...]
I'll take it back if you start feeling too warm.
[or maybe he'll forget and four can own his scarf]
no subject
... It's fine.
[ it's not really doing anything. where the scarf ends up is up to you. ]
no subject
Can I try yours? You can have some of mine too.
[he'll hold out his cone to her.....]
no subject
the implication of sharing his ice cream is such that
she
stares.
UM.
she holds out her little cup of ice cream to him. ]
no subject
no subject
i truly just wanted lavi to lean in and bite but i think four would break his ribs (as if she won't break them now)
but it also doesn't stop him from holding his cone closer to her face, as if inviting her to lean in and bite!! ice cream sharing!!!]
no subject
she can't stop the embarrassing flush that rises to her cheeks, and she can't stop from shutting down for two seconds before she lashes out. she whips the scarf off her head and throws it at his face.
she can't look at him. ]
1/2
no subject
he pulls it down to look at Four, who's apparently not looking at him. HE REALLY DOES THINK SHE'S CUTE, HELP ME he can also put two and two together, thanks to Four's embarrassed flush]
...I'll get ya a new spoon.
[he's not sorry but he will get her a new spoon]
no subject
while he gets a new spoon, she calms herself down. she represses.
she clears her throat. ]
I'll try yours with a spoon.
[ if her scarf throwing didn't knock the ice cream off the cone. ]
