[He eyes it with skepticism before leaning to take a bite, eyes becoming wide at both how cold it was and how rich it tasted. He swallowed and pulled back with it still on his lips, looking back to Lioriley with a stupid, stunned expression.] I never imagined something so... so... sweet? I can't describe...

[ despite her best attempts, she can't help but laugh as she watches him; unable to truly discern his expression for a moment. ]

It is not too sweet, is it? Do you like it? [ she cocks her head to the side, totally ignoring the ice cream in her own hand that is slowly starting to melt and dribble down the cone. the other moves up to gently brush her thumb over his mouth. dork.]

I do like it. It's nothing like anything I've ever tasted before. [He slowly smiled, going to take another bite from his own. He sees hers melting as he does, resulting in muffled noises and gesturing until he swallows.]

Yours is melting.

Oh! [ she feels the slight hint of cold on her fingers just as he says it, and hurriedly tilts her head to lap at the ice cream before it gets any further. with another laugh, she notes: ] This one is quite good as well! Would you like to try it? [ trade ice cream with her!!!! ]

Why, yes I would. [Perfect excuse to lean over and smooch her. He thinks he's so smooth. But then his ice cream is dripping and he hastily pulls back to go ahead and switch.] Oh, this much messier than I thought...

[ to be fair, that was smooth as hell, and she nearly drops her cone in surprise. also, since they only moved to the side enough to not be in the way of other customers arriving, the guy behind the counter must want to vomit watching them.

she instinctively licks her lips, and shifts accordingly to retrieve his ridiculous ice cream so she can try a bite of it. ]

Perhaps we should have gotten bowls. Or, perhaps we just need to eat a little quicker. [ either way, she's biting down into that chocolate crunch. ]

I didn't know that was an option! You've doomed us. [He huffs, completely ignoring the disgusted look they were earning with their adorableness. He takes a bite of her ice cream, grinning yet again.]

It's delicious. [So delicious he doesn't even notice it getting on his sleeve.]

We could still get some! [ she may or may not have just taken that playful jab a little too seriously. but the slight pout on her lips fades only a second later when she catches the grin on trahearne's lips. he's so cute. ugh.

she notices that stain on his shirt, though, ]

Oh, be careful! Your shirt is getting stained! [ ahhh. she searches for napkins. ]

I-- What? [Trahearne pulls his arm back to look at the stain too quickly, sending the remaining ice cream flying off the cone. He can only stare in horror as it hits the floor, dropping his arms in defeat. The man behind the counter is so tired.]

... I suppose I don't have to worry about more.

Wait—! [ too late. the ice cream hits the floor and splatters up onto the side of lioriley's boots, leaving small splotches of mint green on the leather. she'll take care of that later. ]

No, I suppose not. [ she looks to the man behind the counter, uttering an apology as he comes around to start mopping up the mess. she tugs on trahearne's arm and tries to move him out of the way. ] Here, we can share this one.... carefully.

Perhaps we should leave with it. We eat the cone as well, yes? We can enjoy the evening. [That's probably going to make it melt faster, but... He wants this date to be nice. So instead of moving out of the way, he takes her free hand to leave the building entirely.]

... I am sorry about your boots; they're lovely on you. It will come out with washing?

[ she nods to both the suggestion to leave and his question about eating the cone. she learned as much when she went and got ice cream with zaveid a few weeks back.

she links her fingers with his, carefully balancing the ice cream cone in her other hand. every once in a while she dips her head down to lick at the chocolate dribbling down the side — offering it to trahearne in the interim. ]

They should be fine, I am not too worried about it. [ she glances over to him. ] What about your shirt?

I will take care of it as soon as possible. [A lie. He's going to leave it and water and be astounded when it's stilled stained by morning. But he looks so certain of himself as he's leaning in to take another bite.]

You know, I do regret not taking part in any festival activities with you. [He squeezes her hand, looking ahead as they near the park.] You were radiant among the flowers, you know. [Until he crushed her hopes and dreams... Oh well.]

[ she tilts her head toward him, her expression curious and mildly confused until she realizes he's talking about the festival before this last one. ]

You flatter me, as always. [ said lowly, cut short as she purposefully takes a bite of the ice cream to try and give herself time to think on what to say next. ]

I had looked for you, then, if you recall correctly. 'Tis a shame I had not found you sooner. [ is this getting sad again? ] There will be more festivals, I am certain.

[Oh... He hadn't known she sought him out. Now he's a little guilty... He shook his head, licking his lips clean.] I hear there is one coming up, but I am not certain. I will be sure to remain at your side during it. [And there was yet another kiss to her cheek. He was sure he could make anything better with it.]

I would like that. [ the eye above said kissed cheek closes, a small smile forming on her lips. ] Though I could hardly demand you remain beside me for the entirety of the festival. That would be terribly selfish. [ not that she would be upset about it, obviously, but it needs to be said that he is more than free to do whatever the hell he wants. ]

Do we know the theme of this one?
