Chilly Boulder - Sunday Night

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

After making sure things were settled at Town Hall, Joan and Liir (and Makejoy, of course) snuck out and headed to Chilly Boulder for some ice cream before making their way back to the dorms.

"You know, I just realized you haven't eaten for two days. Maybe we should have gone for real food," she said.



[Joan's here for Liir, but can be open for your own ice cream needs]

"I've gone for longer without food," he said with a quick smile.

"Also, Kate gave me a sandwich."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

That didn't make Joan feel better, actually. But she wasn't going to argue.

"I'm so glad Kate was there when you collapsed," she said. "She and Rachel and I got you to Town Hall but as soon as we arrived, Rachel went down too."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Oh goodness, you lot had to drag me like a sack of potatoes?" he asked with a quick wince.

"I'm sorry."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Not your fault," she said. "So don't apologize. Besides, Rachel teleported us from the common room to right outside the doors."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Well, there's that at least," he said with a small smile as he walked over to take a look at the flavors.

"How many kinds of chocolate do you think they can pile into a dessert?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan peered at the case. "Double chocolate chip with hot fudge?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He glanced over before adding "with a chocolate brownie and chocolate chunks."

He blushed as he considered how ridiculous his order would be.

"I like chocolate."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate is good medicine," she agreed.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Though very odd to inhabit for a week or so," he informed her as the attendant made his dessert.

"You're up."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan blinked at Liir.

"Huh?"

The attendant cleared her throat. "Oh, um... a scoop of vanilla with caramel sauce."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I was a chocolate brownie for about a week once," he said with a slight blush, "but I've gotten over that."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"That's... more unique than being an animal?" she said. "Though I suppose more dangerous if someone got hungry and didn't know."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I was mostly glad that Makejoy knows to behave as that much chocolate would have done us both in," he said with a sigh and a shake of the head.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that would be a tough one to explain," she said.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Well, it didn't happen and the only side effect was that I was bouncing around for nearly a week," he said with a smile.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan smiled. "Well, I'm glad about that."

They got their ice cream and found a small table.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He put his down with a satisfied sigh.

"So did I by any chance miss anything pleasant?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Not really," she said. "Everyone has been doing research or taking care of the people who were unconscious or whatever."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"No cupcake rains or bouncing Wombats or anything?"

He glanced around the shop and towards the door.

"I wouldn't put any number of things past this island."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"No, I think the island knew we wouldn't be able to enjoy it," Joan said. "Maybe this week we'll get something fun."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"As long as it doesn't involve turning colors. I've had enough family reminders to last me ages," he said with a shake of his head before he took a bite of the ice cream, "but anything else might be nice."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan wasn't quite sure what he meant by the family reminders comment, but she also wasn't sure it was the best time to ask.

So she took a bite of her ice cream. Mmm caramel. "Good?" she asked.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He practically purred.

Yes, very good.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

She smiled. It was nice to not be worrying about half of her friends. Even if she was still pissed at a certain deity.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir would probably join her if he was told. The Unnamed God had never really done much to guide his path either.

"How's your ice cream?"
