Because sometimes people go on for ages not knowing how many good ideas they've had because they thought were just okay ideas, but she...or he, really needs to know. Brilliant combo!" She took another big scoop of her own ice cream and closed her eyes to show how delicious it was. "Mmm mmm mmm!" She was enjoying this treat so thoroughly that she almost missed what Nerida had said next. "What? Oh! Yes, I'll come get you for sure!! It IS always better to eat with a friend. Eating alone is kind of sad actually, isn't it? Like we're these pack animals really and if we eat alone it's going against our nature or something. That's how I feel right now anyway. Eat with the pack. Unless it's especially awesome and there isn't enough and then maybe you'd go all alpha dog on people and want to eat it all for yourself..." she thought out loud, "but there's definitely enough ice cream for everyone, so that's not even a problem!" Nom nom nom.
Eliza's eyes widened in excitement as Nerida talked about the unicorn. "I know, me either!!! It was so big and beautiful...but scared, but still - it was so pretty to see!" Hearing the clink of her spoon against the bowl, she realized she was getting dangerously low on her snack. Her eyes flicked back and forth between the bowl and the freezer, not wanting to interrupt the conversation by refilling her bowl - she kept still. For now. "Yeah yunno, me too! At first I was like, meh, but the more I did it the better I felt about it. Now I just see dirty things here and there and whisk them away. I mean, why not right? See it, fix it, get it done," she said with a big nod for emphasis on being an efficient and helpful human being. "Plus that's just too much for poor Toddles to take care of alone. Right Toddles?" she said out into the kitchen as if Toddles was there. She didn't know, maybe house elves had super hearing or they got a little ringing in their ears when someone said their names.
Suddenly, worry and determination covered the thirteen year old's face. WHAT? Lost?! That would simply not do. "You lost your cat?! Poor kitty! And blue? What's its name? I'll help you look! This is important!" Because with the state of the castle and the goblins and random forest animals lurking about, who knew what could happen to a cute little kitty. Plus, that would give them an excuse to look about the castle and then come back for more ice cream another time. Cats could not be left to their own devices. Everyone knew that. Because cats would plot something amazingly devious or they would get themselves into trouble, and both of those required human supervision - to keep them safe.
But before they went anywhere, she just had to say one more thing. "Um, yes! That match was so cool! I hope they do another one soon!! Who knew so many professors were good at quidditch! Not cause I don't think adults can play cause they obviously can, but to have that many all in one place that are good at it? And to watch them chase after students and students smack bludgers at them - I mean I didn't want anyone to get hurt, but it was still so funny and exciting to watch!" She nearly dropped her bowl when she tried to use her hands to talk like she so often did, but remembered at the last second that she was holding precious cargo.
She wondered now...did Nerida want to find her cat? Or eat more ice cream? Cause both were fun and important and good things to do.
Nerida took another bite of her ice cream and swallowed before speaking to Eliza.
"I will she will be glad to hear that, she loves ice cream. Though one time she tried, pickles and cookies and cream ice cream. Gross!!" She took another bite licking the spoon clean!
She chuckled and nodded.
"Sounds good! Yeah it is. Yeah, please come talk to my friends make them understand...For now there is enough ice cream...For now we might just devour it..."
Nerida's eyes matched the excitment in Eliza's eyes,
"Yes!! So pretty and it was just so awesome!!!" Hearing the clink of Eliza's spoon against the bowl she realized Eliza was almost out..Looking down at her bowl she realized she only had one bite or two left.
"Totally I mean I have heard people complain but get real I mean we are living here!!" she said with a big nod to match Eliza's big nod. She looked over was Toddles there. She took another bite as she finished looking.
"Her name is Sky! Yeah sure, we should probably find the thing." She ate the last bite of her ice cream sad.
"RIGHT! It was so cool!!" She looked towards the freezer...
"Do you want to get more ice cream before we go to find the cat, we could take it with us!"
