[ Leanne notices the small wince, unable to hide a giggle in response to his (subtle) pain. She continues to eat her own and soon enough reaches the cone, eyes brightening almost immediately and humming in delight.
She wants to say something about how the unexpected turn of events seems... odd, but keeps those thoughts to herself. Instead she changes the subject, smiling blissfully. If anything she just looks like she's agreeing with him. ]
The ice cream is good, right? I'm glad I chose it over the watermelon! [ She probably would have choked on a seed... she has that kind of luck. ] Y'know, earlier I ate some of that omelette... noodle, thing [ she forgot the name ] and it kinda went all downhill really fast, but if you haven't tried it you'll need to later!
[ Cain's thoughts mirror her own, but there's no way for him to tell — instead, he lets the subject be changed back to the food at the festival. That's something of a new experience, too, all the different traditions and things to eat, and he's willing to be distracted for the moment. ]
You want me to try it after you've just told me it went downhill?
[ Light and teasing, his smile bright to show it even as he presses a hand to his chest in mock-hurt. What sort of betrayal is this, where she's egging (ha) him on to eat something she already doesn't like? ]
Okay, listen, it tastes great. But would I ever recommend sharing it with other people?
[ She's trying her best to suppress the memory and it keep it from causing her cheeks to tint with an obvious rose color. She huffs, breath loud enough for him to hear as she switches the cone to her other hand once she notices some ice cream beginning to melt. ] No. Never do that. That's the worst idea I came up with to date.
[ Worst idea it may be, but now that that she's brought it up, Cain's intrigued. That she doesn't seem to want to explain just makes him that much more curious. ]
How contradictory. Something that tastes good but that you don't want to share? Why is that?
[ An embarrassing story where she accidentally brushed lips with someone Cain knows. And honestly she's in no rush to recite that tale after she had nearly choked to death. I wish I was kidding.
So she aggressively finishes the rest of her ice cream cone. Bringing a thumb up to the corner of her mouth to ever so gracefully wipe the remnants of the dessert. ]
[ Wow, he's never seen anyone aggressively eat ice cream like that before, but hey, first time for everything! And it just makes him more curious. Curious enough that despite her obvious bad time, he just can't resist. ]
Sure. [ An airy agreement, laughter in his voice. ] Where can I get some?
[ Hopefully he won't choke... What an ignoble way to go that would be. ]
