Merwyn was delighted with being offered some of the plant when he was at the pub next and his appreciation was obvious in his expression. "That would be so amazing! I've never chewed mint leaves before! I'd just want to, I don't know, tie them into my hair or something so I can smell of fresh mint all the time." he laughed, both at the idea and at himself. "I think maybe it's too sweet for me?" He pondered the mint issue. "But that doesn't explain my love for chocolate."
He was pleased to see that he'd guessed right but hand waved the small matter of being nine days early away. "Hey, you've got to celebrate it while you can, right? Why not start now? Ten day birthday, I think so." he agreed with himself, teasing. He watched Seamus try out the pistachio and gleefully pushed the little tub over so that his new friend could reach it easily. "So a yes for the birthday ice cream bar then?" he asked with amusement.
"Yeah, I think there's a little tang of tannin in the base there... but I'm not a big tea lover either so I like the peach." he commented about the Peach Iced Tea. "Hey, I tell you what. You decide what you want for the party and I'll foot the bill, no problems." he offered apropos of nothing but the fact that Seamus had been kind to him.
