Free ice cream! [open]

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

 Alex sat beneath the shade of a large tree in a decent sized park. Those familiar with New York might recognize the sky scrapers in the distance, even if they didn't recognize the park itself.  Parked on a small service road was an ice cream truck with a merry vendor, who claimed that it was customer appreciation day, and was thus giving ice cream away for free.

Alex was already enjoying a chocolate and strawberry cone covered in sprinkles and caramel syrup, wondering if anyone would bother showing up to spend time with him, or even be interested in sensorium ice cream in the first place.

Either way, Alice seemed thrilled, as she pulled what appeared to be pink chocolate chips from a jar labelled "Yogis".  Reaching out to pet Alice, Alex laughed a bit, "Don't get used to eating s-so many." sensorium food might not mess with her health, but once they got home, it would be the real thing once again. He figured that she deserved the treat as much as he deserved the ice cream anyway.

Alex laughed a bit. "Th-that'd be brainfreeze. I c-can happen if you e-eat it too fast."

"Really? Why? I had not expected human cuisine to involve this sort of element of danger. Do you find that it increases the savor, or is it just a cost of the confection?"

Even Kanaya was beginning to suspect she was overthinking this, but it distracted her from the slowly-fading pain in her spine.

Alex thought for a moment, about all of those questions. "I d-dunno why it happens... N-never really thought of it being a c-cost either. J-just something to try to keep f-from happening." Alex didn't seem to mind the over thinking. Asking questions was how you pushed the limits of things anyway.
