Who: Torque, Patience (NPC) and Sadie
When: Early Evening
Where: Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Restaurant
What: Hell if Torque knows
It was only thanks to Patience's latching onto his idea of ice cream that Torque didn't scoop up his toddler niece and back out of the ice cream parlor slowly. It was an
interesting place, but certainly not one that he would have thought to go and stay in on his own. The parlor just seemed the best place to meet up again with the teenager who was a prospective sitter for Patience, without him seeming like a creeper.
Fresh from a day of play at the Weiss's, with the little werewolf Mayze, Patience was unusually bright and wanting to be out among other people. Despite Torque's misgivings on the ice cream parlor, likely feeling the role of 'Mister Mom' that he had certainly never envisioned himself in, her wont for the offer of ice cream that he had made now made it impossible to rescind it. When his step did falter with the wider-than-usual expression in taking in the old-timey feel of the place, she tugged on his fingers with a quiet and imploring, "Unca De'con" that he couldn't resist.
"Yeah, Munchkin, okay," just get them something to go, or just a small bowl of ice cream at the counter for Patience and some kind of sundae thing for himself. The booths were too much for him to handle, most of him already pining for biker bars and crazy antics, a world away from such bright, cheery, family-friendly environs. The guy in the biker boots with part of his tattoo visible from wrist to where it disappeared under his shirt sleeve at his bicep, he didn't belong here. The three year old girl at his side, in her prettily patterned
dress, she fit perfectly.
