Food Tour of Fandom [Mon, Period 2]

[doubleohblonde]

There were neither hills nor wheels of cheese in sight today, thankfully for Bond's class. Instead, there was a fountain a square, which was a good thing, as the Danger Shop was set to a hot summer day. There were also a number of stalls dotted around the square. Bond himself was sucking on an oddly shaped ice lolly as he waited for the class to arrive.

"An interesting thing about frozen desserts," he began. "Is not only how old they are, with mentions of variations of involving the use of fruits and honeys to flavour ice and snow dating back into antiquity, but also how many of these ancient cultures such as Egypt, China and Persia, had versions. Although the effort involved in collecting and storing the ice until and through the summer months meant that before the invention of modern refrigeration techniques such desserts were luxuries, often reserved for the rich and powerful."

"And what better place to sample some of these, than Florence, often said to be where modern ice cream was invented, back in 1565."

Yeah, he was just going to stare at her. "Why would I make a mean girl comment?"

"Because I was one," she said in a very 'duh' tone. "Before I died, and kind of after, too." And kind of in Fandom some, shh.

"Not to me," he was going to wrap his arm around her waist and press another kiss to her cheek because he could. And it kind of proved his point that she was a softy.

"Because you only met me after I died," she pointed out. "I've chilled a little since then. Imagine, me more high strung. I bet you'd cry."

He laughed and reached up to brush her hair back. He was in a stubborn mood right now and stubborn meant he got to be annoyingly sweet at her and mean it too.

"I bet I could still have gotten you to relax," he decided.

Assuming he could get her to look his way. "Let's not go crazy here, Jake. You can't deny there was kind of a specific set of events that brought us past cranky barbs and idle threats."

Re: Frozen Noms - FToF [03]

"Yeah," he rested his chin on her shoulder, "but if I remember it right, I was the one making the threats."

Re: Frozen Noms - FToF [03]

"No offense, but I'm pretty sure you were just sexually frustrated," she told him honestly. "Weird how all the threats just disappeared..."

Re: Frozen Noms - FToF [03]

"I'm pretty sure the threats disappeared before that," Jake grumbled, making a face at her.

She shrugged, swirling her spoon in her cup to mix the melted ice cream with the still-solid. "If you're sure."

Re: Frozen Noms - FToF [03]

"Hrmph," he was just going to go back to sulking and finishing off his ice custard.

His non answer was annoying and Caroline didn't really feel like following up with anymore conversation there.

"Whatever," she shrugged, snagging up her sweater as she rose. "Enjoy your fake sun. I'll see you next class."
