weasel's note: kiera's handwriting is a neat, flowing script somewhere between print and cursive.

they can most often be found at the barn, either tending to animals or in the attached stablemaster's quarters, or at the watchtower bar, either as a patron or occasionally tending bar.

[Oh, what a calming voice. He follows it into the kitchen, hooves thudding lightly as he moves, staff clicking and his ears perking up.]

Oh, I'm glad I wasn't too late! I cannot wait to try it! Do you often make your own ice cream?

[He'll make himself small in the kitchen to stay out of the way politely, his staff watching with interest.]

[cryopathy]

[how interesting! a sheep-person with a functional eye on a staff. the grove sure is full of characters! kiera's smile doesn't falter as she takes it all in. they've met werewolves and fish-people back home, after all.]

I do. Not that I dislike when it's made by others, but I can control the exact flavor and how quickly it's frozen and aerated.

[assuming the staff does indeed function as pure vanilla's eyes, in full view of it, kiera waves their hand over a mixing bowl of nearly-formed ice cream. sure enough, the liquidy contents seem to mix with a controlled breeze of air carrying the tiniest crystals of ice. and given maybe another half minute of that, viola! solid ice cream with purple swirls from the fresh blackberry chunks throughout.]

[purevanillacookie]

I see!

[Oh!! Pure Vanilla is delighted to see elemental magic, and he watches with almost childlike glee. Especially as it stiffens the ice cream as it mixes.]

That's quite handy! Were you born with your abilities?

[It's very difficult for Cookies to touch elemental powers unless they're blessed with them. They're too primal, too real. Yet she controls the ice as easily as Frost Queen might have, with a simple wave of her hand. And then the ice cream is done, and it's a lovely shade of purple, and it's going to be hell on top of dill and vanilla, but he doesn't know this.]

[it's actually pretty nice that something so simple to them is pleasing to someone else. of course, kiera already thinks they're hot shit, so it only stands to reason that they expect others to agree.

... lucky for pv, she's just more glad to have ice cream. though she's just as generous scooping into a bowl for him as she is for herself.]

I had to hone them over time. Where I'm from, many people can learn at least a little magic with the proper discipline.

I hope you enjoy it.

[purevanillacookie]

[Oh he'll accept that generous scoop with a happy thank you! He wasn't invited to sit so he's not going to, he will instead make himself comfortably small in the kitchen by finding an out of the way place to stand, his tail wiggling in delight as he does.]

It is the same in my world, yet elemental magic such as ice is beyond our grasp for the most part. We find it far easier to use magic that is more in line with who we fundamentally are.

[He very carefully takes a little bit of the ice cream to taste it and immediately looks delighted.]

Delicious, my friend! It is perfect!

[The happiest of Peepaws right here.]

[cryopathy]

Really? What makes ice so unlike you? Don't some cookies come with icing?

[it's clearly a rhetorical question. one that they don't seem to care whether or not it's appropriate -- they'll surely find out from pv's reaction. and of the few cookies they're familiar with, he seems quite forgiving.]

I'm glad you like it.

[purevanillacookie]

[ Congratulations, you made Pure Vanilla laugh while he had a mouthful of ice cream. He polite keeps it in his mouth, which results in a sort of half laugh half choking noise as he hastily swallows, gives himself brain freeze, then covers his mouth to laugh properly. ]

Ah, if only it worked that way, for indeed, most cookies are covered in icing! It makes up our hair and clothes.

[ Argh, his head hurts from the brain freeze, he will poke at his ice cream gently while waiting for that to subside. ]

[cryopathy]

[that display is more than enough to get kiera giggling, too, though she's far more prepared to do so than poor pv was.]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry! It wasn't my intention to choke you at all! Are you alright?

[purevanillacookie]

[ He waves his hand gently from side to side, beaming. ]

I am all right! A little ice cream inhale and brain freeze can't stop me for long!

[ His lungs are cold. ]
