He does not on this occasion try, no.  "Thanks for lunch!"

"No problem. I think I saw an ice cream place on the way here close enough we wouldn't need to re-park but I didn't get a great look at it, it might have been froyo."

"That seems fine."  Handhold?

Handhold!

The place is a gelato place. If gelato is an acceptable variation on the ice cream concept Haru's getting raspberry with stracciatella.

Yes.  Giandujaaaa.  Also this time he's going to try and pay, for both of them.

"I can get it."

"Yes, and so can I."

"Have you come to any explicit arrangement about your joint finances situation?"

"No."  Fingerguns.  "But I would be very surprised if he wanted me to have not bought gelato, this once, and anyways in terms of things he's fearful about," he should not say, 'social debt to you ranks higher than money assuming we'll be able to make any off being an esper, which I think there's already evidence that we will even if our power sucks.'  That would be mean to Julien. "I think paying here is in line with his preferences."

"If you say so."

"I dooooo."  Payment achieve!  Gelato receive!  "This is really good; do you want to try a bite?"

"What even is gianduja." He will get another spoon to steal a taste.

"It's like Nutella.  Without the step of making it a spread first, not like that brand-integrated ice cream flavor a while back.  It's chocolate and hazelnut, is what I'm saying."

Nom. "Pretty tasty."

"Yeah!  How's yours?"

"I see I should have gotten yet a fourth spoon." He does this and offers it to Bug.

"I can't believe this!  I would never be so crass as to veil a request such as the implied in the guise of a polite and obvious question!  I'm innocent, and furthermore insulted.  That said may I try a bite of yours."

Why is he so cute! Is it to torture Haru specifically! "Go right ahead."

Well in that case he will accept the fourth spoon and scoop out a little.  "I still haven't heard what you think of it."

"Oh, it's good, I like it more than yours. Raspberry's good stuff once the seeds are factored out."

"Conveniently for the supply of spoons here, I also prefer mine.  Raspberry's nice but I think I'd prefer it as a sorbet."

"I probably would've gotten pineapple if this had been a sorbet place."
