A bib. You're kiddin' me, right? Don't they teach you kids not t'mess with a woman neck deep in Neopolitan, anymore? Or do you just not have any self-preservation instinct?
[Oni slides him a spoon across the table with a look.] You may as well have some; There's not a chance in hell I'mma eat all this.
Why the fuck would it be poison?! Judas Iscariot-- [She stabs her spoon in-between the chocolate and vanilla, struggling not to laugh as she shovels out a heaping spoonful and proceeds to bite it.] --There! No poison. Just probable brain-freeze and regrets.
Religious lady cussing over ice cream. Watch out I might swoon. [He spooned out a heaping spoonful of the chocolate.] There are no regrets when it comes to ice cream.
I'm sure there must be. Go on and help yerself, this bein' a free country and all. The girl behind the counter's, ah... Seen fit t'talk an extended break, so it's on th'house. [Oni gestured to the empty parlor with a grin; She didn't relish the effect she had on normal people, but neither could she do anything about it, so she was past the point of beating herself up for it.] You got a favorite flavor?
[Oni gestures to the table of icecream with a grandiose sweep of her arm like she's Marie fucking Antionette.] Then dig in, darlin'. This shit's not gonna eat itself.
One of each, then. Two of each-- Fuck it, life's too short. Show yer tummy who's boss 'till it's cryin' fer mercy-- Figuratively, I mean. Don't go actually hurtin' yerself.
Apparently she thought it was safer there than here, wherever that is... Huh. [A cursory whiff.] Either she booked it to the otherwise o' town or she's underground, 'cause I can't smell the broad anymore. Mighta taken th'subway.
*He looks grateful for a moment--sometimes he'll obey anything, depending on how broken his mind is at the moment when the suggestion is given.* Three each, then. But just the small ones.
*He nods.* Kill, subdue, capture, return to job? *The usual options when someone goes on break at StrexCorp. Desert Bluffs is weird.*
Whatever does it to ya, darlin', I'm not here t'judge. Maybe you can even take some home with you.
Nope, we're havin' dessert Kevin. This is an avoid, release, leave the fuck alone job, d'accord? Listen carefully, and repeat after me. "We don't give a shit."

It was just a figure o' speech, anyway; I don't normally pay any attention to th'gods of man and, usually, the feeling is mutual. [She loaded her spoon back up and grinned.] Not unless you count some wicked indigestion, touché. What I meant was, this much ice-cream is probably a dead-giveaway of some emotional mumbo-jumbo.
Nuuup
:D
Should she really be on break? That isn't safe, you know.

*He grins and spins around and kicks a trash can over.* I can take breaks and make messes and get to work late! Sweet!

[Janie grabs a container and a spoon] Thank you! This is the best thing to happen today. You are an ice cream hero.
