I have mostly free ice cream

All ice cream is wonderful!

Yes, it is! Would you like some? All I ask is that you behave nicely.

*immediately suspicious* It's not going to turn me into strange things or genderswap me or make me tapdance naked in Times Square or anything, is it?

No, it is just ice cream. I just ask that you are nice while you are here. What you do out there is not my concern.

Are people usually not nice to you, that you've got to bribe them with ice cream?

Everyone has been nice to me... I just want them to be nice to each other, and I wanted to share ice cream.

Are people nice to you?

Some folks. Some aren't, but you know not everyone's going to like everything. I'm okay with that.

That is true. It doesn't stop me from hoping.

I am Addie. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Eh, I gave up on hoping on things that can't happen a long time ago.

My name's Martin. Nice to meet you too.

I'm always optimistic and trusting.

Would you still like some ice cream?

Ooh! What kind of ice cream?

Vanilla and chocolate, and I have toppings!

Ooh, chocolate. *grins*

*scoops up some chocolate* How are you? It's been a few days since I've seen you.

I'm fine. As you can my nose is getting a little better. *his face and eyes are a little lighter, yellowing in places*

How are you?

I am well *smiles*

It's good that your nose is getting better. Your work is going well?
