As she slid into position at the counter he stuck a wafer into the top of the sundae and swivelled around, walking over and presenting it to her, grabbing a spoon from under the counter. "There, all yours. And of course it's your little alien, eating ice cream is clearly insane. Which is why you're in here almost every week," he said teasingly. Then his eyes widened slightly and he turned around and busied himself finding some chocolate to melt for the drink. He wasn't quite sure Mandy knew his teasing side, he generally just went for cheerful with customers, and she was maybe turning into a friend now.
