Eden was powered up, but she was lucky she had had the foresight to pluck out some money form her wallet, and set it aside before she powered up. If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't be enjoying a lovely ice-cream cone from a street vendor who just so happened to be staying open late due to the hot balmy summer day. Eden didn't blame him, her page's uniform felt heavy and oppressive, and a nice cool treat was exactly what she needed.
He had only looked at her a little funny, but she imagined being a street vendor the kind old man had seen a lot more in his time, at least more strange then her. It had even been a fairly uneventful patrol so far, no power signatures of any sort signaling the presence of another powered individual.
At least that what she thought, when suddenly she felt an order power signature much stronger then herself heading her way. Suddenly she felt guilty eating ice cream on duty.

Teide felt the page from several blocks away, familiar but also not, her aura clear like a bell in a quiet room: starlight and calm and candle wax dripping, building great spires out of spent tallow and ash. Her heart raced in her ears, and she tightened her hands around her crystal ball's chain - there were so many new pages lately, so many new friends to meet! She bounded towards the aura, trying not to get her hopes up too high - their order had produced Hyperborea, after all - but Odainsaker had been nice! And maybe this new page would be nice, too! Maybe it was just a lucky week for Cosmos knights! Nearing the page, Teide slowed - no need to look over-enthusiastic, right? If she came on too strongly, she'd just look immature, and the last thing Teide wanted was for anyone to think she was too young to be a knight, too bratty. "Hi," she said, waving to the page as her last jump brought her to a landing in front of her. Her eyes flittered to the ice cream the girl was holding - it was oppressively hot out. "That looks really good," said Teide.

Eden noticed someone approaching her, and sense she had been paying attention to auras, and the girl was well... carrying a giant sparkling ball... she assumed that was probably who it belonged to.
" H-hello... " Eden asked, offering a shy smile. The girl just seemed genuinely joyfull, and that made Eden unfurl a little bit. The girl looked to her icecream... which made her smile a little bit more. It wasn't a snide comment, or even disapproving.. ' Do... do you want one? " Eden said, her eyes lighting up a little bit. She still had plenty of money tucked - embarrassingly - in the boob-ish area of her outfit, sense it didn't exactly come with pocket.
The ice cream attendant all the while had been watching the two oddly clad girls with a faint smile of amusement on his face.
Glitnir and Luxor had told her to meet people and make friends.. well... buying someone an ice-cream was definitely a step in the making friends direction, right?

Teide stared at the ice cream. Did she want one? Yes. In this weather, it was an absolute no-brainer. Ice cream would greatly improve her night... but ice cream cost money, and money was something that she didn't have. It wasn't lost on her that the page was offering to buy, but she didn't think it would be prudent of her to accept. She didn't want to seem greedy! "I... I shouldn't," she said nervously, glancing towards the ice cream seller. What was he making of all this? And was that cotton-candy flavored ice cream?! Her one true weakness. Teide tried to lick her lips as inconspicuously as possible. "Just a small one? I mean. If you're offering," she said. "I'll pay you back."

Eden gave a bright smile " Oh don't worry about paying me back! ' Eden ordered an ice-cream the icecream for Teide after getting her flavor choice. Cotton candy huh? She had never even thought of trying, she wondered if it was good! ... but the owner just kind of looked at her like really.... really a small one? and stared Eden down and constructed an icecream cone the same size as hers for Teide. A full three scoops with sprinkles on the very top.
Eden thanked him and attempted to pay, but the old man waved her off " You cone here enough glitter-girl, consider it on the house " and Eden blushed, looking guilty that she had come to this one spot so often on patrol that the owner recognized her.
Eden was honestly happy to meet another knight though! And this girl seemed genuinely sweet. The owner handed Eden the ice-cream and she bobbed her head a little bit, with a smile and a thank you, before handing the icecream to Tiede " I'm Eden, by the way. " she said once again with that shy smile.

Teide nodded and took the ice cream, half expecting it to be snatched away like this was all some cruel joke. When it wasn't, she thanked the ice cream man brightly and fell into step beside Eden. "That's pretty," she said. It rang a bell - something she'd known once and forgotten, maybe a story she'd been told in school? Gemma had loved mythology... "My name's Teide," she said, maneuvering to lick a drip off the side of her cone. Would it be rude to eat and talk at the same time? It was going to melt if she didn't, the night being as hot as it was... "Let's go sit down somewhere," she suggested, "but maybe ground level? I don't want to jump and hold ice cream at the same time." She might drop it, and that would be a tragedy of epic proportions! Cotton candy ice cream was divine and sprinkles were to be cherished. "Thank you for the ice cream... How about there?" With her free hand, she pointed to a table on the patio of a shuttered cafe. "I doubt the owners'll mind. It's closed right now, aft all."
