Sarah: Ice cream works for me. Let's go~
-She exits the wheel, seeming a lot more giddy than before.-
-Herbert gives a rather amused smile as he watches Sarah exit the wheel, following a couple of paces behind her.-
Herbert: You alright there? I don't want to have to end up dragging you all the way to the ice cream parlour.
-Sarah grins, still bouncing ahead.-
Sarah: Aww, you're worried about me. Cute.
-Herbert rolls his eyes in mock exasperation.-
Herbert: I'm worried about myself and whether I'll be able to haul you halfway across the city without my arms going numb.
-Sarah turns around and mock-pouts.-
Sarah: Are you saying something about my weight?
-She smirks slightly-
-Herbert returns the smirk.-
Herbert: If I was, I wouldn't be taking you out for ice cream now, would I?
-Sarah's smirk turns back into a full grin-
Sarah: Well played. You win this time.
Herbert: What can I say? I can be quite the charmer when I want to be.
-His smirk grows into a smile.-
Herbert: Anyway, we're here. I guess I'll be paying, as per usual. No need to break from tradition.
Sarah: Another chivalrous offer from my knight in scruffy armor~ I can pay for myself, though.
-Herbert shrugs.-
Herbert: Well, our first meeting involved me hitting on you and offering to buy you ice cream, so I figured I might as well go two for two.
Sarah: Fair enough. At least I'm not asking for one of everything.
-She walks up to the counter and gets a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.-
-Herbert orders himself a bowl of chocolate fudge ice cream, then sits down at a table opposite Sarah, looking pensive.-
Herbert: ...Strange to think that in just a couple of weeks time, it'll be a full year since we first met.
Sarah: Yeah... We keep saying it, but it doesn't make it any less strange to know.
-She takes a bite of ice cream-
Herbert: You know, if you'd have told me back then that I'd be romantically involved with you in a year's time... actually, I probably would've believed you, because I was a cocky bastard who fancied himself a ladies' man back then.
-It's worth noting by this point that about half of Lucius' ice cream has disappeared in the time it took him to finish his sentence.-
-Sarah giggles-
Sarah: I think I'd have been a bit harder to convince.
-She notices the significant shortage of ice cream but says nothing, merely smirking slightly-
-Herbert gives a rather self-deprecatory smile.-
Herbert: Oh, no doubt about that. You had standards back then, after all.
-His empty bowl is now spinning gently across the table.-
-Sarah smiles-
Sarah: I did. But lo and behold, here we are. All it took was for me to realize we're dorky enough for each other.
-Without ice cream to pick at, Herbert resorts to fiddling with the end of his scarf instead.-
Herbert: Birds of a feather and all that, I suppose. Funny that we'd only realise our feelings for each other once we managed to get away from the weirdness that originally drew us together in the first place.
Sarah: The world works in mysterious ways. I try not to question them too much.
-She finishes her own bowl-
Herbert: Me, I gave up questioning them at all a long time ago.
-He gives a smile.-
Herbert: After all, I'd rather just enjoy our time together rather than try to figure out how we got here in the first place.
Sarah: Definitely. We've languished in the past long enough, and we're here to put an end to that.
Herbert: A pity that we didn't order drinks, because this seems like the perfect time for a toast. To old friends and new beginnings and other good stuff like that.
-Sarah grins-
Sarah: Next time, we'll remember to get some, then.
-Herbert smiles and raises an eyebrow.-
Herbert: You thinking of making this a daily occurrence, then?
Sarah: Frequent, at least. This is a nice way to spend a day, but I'd go crazy if it was every day.
