Merwyn raised an eyebrow in surprise at Seamus' distaste, leaning forward to take a little bit of the mint chocolate and tasting it cautiously in case he'd somehow acquired his new friend's tastebuds. "Yeah, I think you're right... but I like it better than the usual green stuff." he said, his tone apologetic even if he was just giving his opinion. "I like mint when it's more like the leaf, you know? I wonder if they have mint bushes here!" he said his attention suddenly hijacked by the thought and he sought around for said herb finding... none.
"Mint smells so good, it smells better than it tastes." he enthused and then dug a little dent into the third and so-far unloved ice cream, the Honey-Pistachio, distracted from putting it in his mouth by what Seamus then said. "Oh wow, a birthday thing? Your birthday or someone elses? I suppose yours if you're getting the ice cream, but they could have just asked you to choose it for them... oh! Happy Birthday!" he added with a beaming grin before finally putting the already melty spoonful into his mouth. "I don't like pistachio." he commented immediately after doing so.
