"They have your basic flavors - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry - and a few more interesting ones, like mint or coffee. They also have sorbet, which isn't technically ice cream and is all fruit flavors, but equally as good if you're up for that. And don't worry about the cost - with how busy I've been recently, I've managed to save up a lot of money for my snack fund."

There's waffle cones, too, if Hotaru decides she wants one of those. And a few varieties of nuts to go on top. Whatever she wants, she can have. For himself, Hughes is grabbing a waffle cone with mint ice cream. There's always treats at home, but sometimes it's nice to try something new. Besides, he has a guest and that in and of itself demands treats and on a day like this? Ice cream is the perfect fit.

Once they've got their ice cream, he'll lead her to a bench under a small patch of trees that looks out over the low wall onto one of the many canals. It's a very peaceful spot, one where he doesn't mind taking a rest for a bit while they enjoy their treats. "Have you been enjoying the day so far?"
