Butterbeer was not an ew, she ignored that bit and watched Tino throw a fit. He was a handful, wasn't he? They were precious at this age, though, wait until he was six forming opinions and asking questions. Louisa's blue eyes left Tori's boys to focus on the mother sitting across from her. She seemed well educated on how to handle a scene-making toddler. "Shouldn't we consent to this or something?" Louisa's eyes leave Tori temporarily to give the stink eye to the quill.
Those fans' stories, though. Wow. "A cat?" She repeated, leaning in over the table absentmindedly. "I think... you should inform law enforcement." That would be Louisa's reaction. Maybe she spent way too much time with politicians and diplomats she lost her faith in human altogether? Apparently not too suspicious because look at her using a different last name because of all the filth in humans. Louisa nodded, almost as if she understood what Tori meant. "Victoria Foster." It had to be tried out loud to see the sense behind the name. "I think it works perfectly. Bunbury is way too classy for a.... for that." she gestured at Tori and her quill, trying so hard not to sound insulting.
Was this insulting? She couldn't tell anymore. Again, she spent too much time participating and leading subtextual discussions with politicians it was seeping into her social life.
Storm caught up to Zara in no time. She had to dodge a few elbows, but she had a nice reflex thanks to her dad's dodge ball games. It was one of her favourite time of the week when they got to play together outside. Her mum was almost there ALL the time, so Storm didn't feel that tug of feeling where she'd miss her, ya know? But dad worked long hours, sometimes days and weeks, so she often found herself craving more time with the old man.
Back to reality, though. Storm took a sweeping look at the flavours, not surprised by Zara's announcement at this point. "If only there is a flavour between chocolate and vanilla," she spoke to her younger friend, who was leaving foggy handprints on the clean glass btw. "Chocolate is too sweet, and vanilla is too white." She tried to sound as smart and sophisticated as her mum. Did it work? "I'll take three scoops of salted caramel." she decided. Anyone was welcome to decipher that train of thought of ice cream flavours. Quote:

A teenage girl offered a standard greeting and asked for their order from behind the counter. "Okay, gotta kinda big order here. We'll have two scoops o' strawberry, two scoops o' butterbeer, two scoops o' mint chocolate chip..." Mint chocolate chip was always refreshing. It was the kind of flavor you either loved or hated, and Paulie had come to be the former. As for the kids... "One scoop o' strawberry for this lil guy, and –" He lifted an eyebrow some as he looked to the girls. "One ice cream cake for the two of ya to split?" Since Zara was so set on eating whatever Storm wanted.
If Storm DID want those three measly scoops of salted caramel ice cream more than a WHOLE cake, she oughta speak now or forever hold her peace.......... "Hmmmmmmm?" Tori was twirling a lock of her hair around a finger and looking longingly after her boys (and Zara), pretending not to hear Louisa of course. The fan topic, though, that was interesting, especially how Louisa would just SNITCH to the FUZZ about a harmless fan.
She wagged a finger at her. "Now just because you're literally married to the law doesn't mean the rest of us want them snooping around in our business in the name of 'protection' from 'stalkers.'" She shook her head no, a BIG no as well. Tori would not be elaborating on what else she didn't want the law to investigate but starting with her fans was just a hard NOPE.
Of course Victoria Foster sounded good. "Take it easy on insulting the quill, Louisa, you should know better by now...." And Tori let out a fake laugh just to emphasize how the quill should be characterizing her. Jot that laugh down as a beautiful cascading waterfall of sound, would it? Also... had Louisa just inadvertently called her classy?! *___* wow, how the times change. Um, what? Wait, chocolate was out now? AND vanilla? Why did the color of the ice cream matter as long as the flavor was good? Zara tried not to be disappointed by the reasoning skills of her idol, though of course she didn't know what the heck reasoning skills were herself. AND Zara had NEVER EVER had salted caramel anything before, so....
She let out a BIG breath that did indeed fog up the ice cream case, especially because her dad said ICE CREAM CAKE!!!
"YES YES YES," Zara spun around to SHOUT her enthusiasm, but also kept her eyes trained on Stormy the ENTIRE TIME. "One whole SALTY CARRY-A-MEL ICE CREAM CAKE, PLEASE." She didn't know who to look at next!! The ice cream scooper? Her dad? Tino? Ew, why did Tino even GET any ice cream? He was a BABY.
