AFTER-ICE-CREAM-PARTY

[pecker]

[Boy everyone is so bloodthirsty tonight. And now a kid is dead and another is gonna execute. Do y'all need some baskin robbins, because it seems like you do!!! So before everyone can leave, Niwatori raises her voice louder than it's gone before now to draw a little attention, and then deflates immediately when she actually gets it.]

Excuse me, please! U-um... this case was really hard, and I think we could all use some time to cool our heads before we finally go back. So... ice cream? Who's with me?

[she'll lead the pack there and anyone else can go home or to visit Clarisse on the set of Orange is the new Black.

Niwa's not that good of a host though, she just gets her own ice cream and lets everyone serve themselves. Who is she to limit your freedom. (Someone who doesn't want to be partly responsible for a Millium Monstrosity, that's who.)]

ice cream

[Kino is pretty confident about being able to eat a lot, but this is something else. The traveler spends some time staring at Sting as he eats those spoons, only eventually walking over to him properly.]

How are you...?

[Doing that, is probably where that sentence was going.]

[unfashionably]

[ If it is, he's completely off-topic with his reply. Eating stuff like this comes naturally to a dragon slayer, so much so he doesn't even consider that's what Kino is trying to say. ]

... I don't know. [ This is the most honest answer he can give right now. His eyes flick to the remains of his latest plastic victim before they lock onto Kino. ] How about you?

[quickpersuader]

[...Wait what. It takes Kino a bit to put it together.]

I meant - how are you... eating those?

[unfashionably]

What? [ That's what she meant? Embarrassed by his mistake, he tries to ignore the heat rising in his cheeks. ] Uh... The same way you eat anything else, I guess? It's just something we dragon slayers do.

...

Are your teeth extra hard?

[Staring at his mouth like this will give answers.]
