Shrug.

Sigh. "Well, alright, I guess." She goes after food.

Jackson finishes eating pretty quick and leaves.

So she eats alone, and unless Isabella and Alex appear, she'll go to Isabella's room.

They do not appear! When Sadde gets there they are debating cafeteria versus taking advantage of the lack of parental supervision to literally have ice cream for dinner (Alex is in the latter camp).

"...can't we have ice cream for dessert?"

"If we have dinner we will not have room to get six flavors."

"Why would you want six flavors, isn't that a bit much?"

"No!"

"Yes."

"Okay... Well, I don't exactly care too much about food, but given that having only ice cream for dinner's not exactly healthy I cast half a vote against that."

"I eat my vegetables most of the time. ...I will get at least one fruit flavor?"

"I don't want ice cream for dinner, Alex."

"Why don't Isabella and I eat dinner for dinner, and you get ice cream?"

"That's less fun."

"...why?"

"I dunno, just is."

"Well, I already had dinner anyway, so I could accompany you in ice cream and pretend it's dinner."

"I accept this compromise!"

"Alright then, shall we go?"

"Mm-hm." They go. Alex gets ice cream. Isabella gets quiche.

And Sadde gets some ice cream as well. Only a little bit of ice cream, because it's dessert and not dinner-replacement, but.

Alex makes do.

And Sadde goes with!
