Things were quiet as Julie was solely focused on her ice cream, and Lavender was focused on fussing over Julie as she ate her ice cream. Roger just sort of leaned back and watched, enjoying the weather. There was definitely a palpable tension in the air, but he and Lavender both seemed pretty intent on ignoring it for Julie's sake.
Maybe they should talk about things. He hadn't exactly been receptive to anything Lavender had had to say the other day. Except they obviously couldn't talk now, and Lavender would probably either stay with Julie once they got back to the orphanage or bolt home immediately. He sighed, and settled back in the chair to eat his ice cream and try to ignore the weird silence. Julie would eventually break it.
