After giving the girl exact change and taking both bowls, she grabbed a single spoon and joined Frost at the table, while also avoiding the sticky children table as best as she possibly could. She sat close to the wall, preferring to have her back to the smallest portion of the room as possible, and set the bowls down. "Alright then, come on, Zeus, down." The Pikachu happily obliged and jumped onto the chair beside her, sitting as Skiron was, and eagerly waved his arm towards his bowl in a failed attempt at reaching it. Claire just sighed and shoved it within his reach with a sigh, refraining from looking at him after that as he shoved his face into the frozen treat and began gorging himself. "You're disgusting, Zeus," she sighed with a grimace.
Oh well, she wouldn't let it ruin her ice cream, so she poked her spoon into it idly. "Thank you for waiting," she said before she could forget, though wasn't exactly sure why Frost waited before eating. It was a nice gesture all the same.

As the pikachu dived into his treat, Frost pursed his lips slightly and raised an eyebrow a fraction. Internally he writhed in disgust. There was slurping. This creature had its whole head in the bowl. Sticky syrup, sprinkles, and the ice cream itself soaking the fur. If one drip of that disgusting concoction got onto his suit or worse his skin, he was going to be having very serious words with Claire. Only once they got back to base of course, but when they did the words had would be very serious indeed.
"You are welcome," Frost said eventually, tearing his eyes away from Zeus, and keeping his tones as neutral as ever. "It is... bad mannered not to wait for everyone to sit down." Glancing at Zeus again Frost repressed a shudder of disgust. If any pokemon of his acted in that manner, their behaviour would be corrected in short order. Very short order. It didn't take all that long for operant conditioning to work its magic, but he was aware that not all trainers were willing to discipline their pokemon. In most other ways Claire seemed like a sensible young woman, he shouldn't judge her negatively for one small... slurping, slobbering, gobbling -
"Skiron. You may begin." As his companion took the first bite (small, neat bite), Frost picked up his spoon and started on the cherry portion of his own dessert. Cherry, then pistachio, any mixed up bits would need to melt, and then he'd have those with the wafer. It would be delicious... Did Zeus have ice cream on his ear? He refused to look at the pikachu properly to find out, just in case the answer was 'Yes'.

The answer, unfortunately for Frost, was indeed 'yes' though how the messy eater managed to get ice cream on his ear was completely beyond his trainer. Her ice cream sat untouched, save for the spoon sticking out of it at an angle, as she watched him with absolute disgust. Was he seriously...? Ugh. "Zeus," she said sharply, leveling a glare at his green eyes and attempting to ignore the copious amounts of chocolate smeared all over his face, his paws, just... "That's absolutely disgusting. If you don't eat properly I'm never giving you ice cream again." A pause, as the Pikachu glared back at her. "Never."
With a huff, he gave up and took smaller bites, refraining from shoving his whole face in the bowl. The damage was already done, however, and it was obvious that a decent portion of his treat was slowly drying on his fur. Ugh... That would take ages to get out... Violet eyes slid to a container of napkins on the middle of the table, so she pulled one out and promptly slapped it onto the Pikachu's face. Not surprisingly, it stuck there, and also not surprisingly the electric-type growled his displeasure. Neither of these things bothered Claire too much, thankfully, and she finally took a bite of her ice cream.

Oh yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck. There were no words for the level of unpleasantness he was witnessing. At least it was food covering the pikachu not something worse; he was glad of that mercy. Somewhat. Mostly however he was still just disgusted. Even the covering of the horrid visage with a napkin did little to comfort him. Averting his eyes stoically from the glutton, Frost tried to enjoy his ice cream and wondered why he had suggested Claire accompany him. Well, in fairness he hadn't known her pokemon was bad mannered, but he should have been prepared for the possibility, should have asked her.
"Would the added threat of castration contribute to improved behaviour do you think?" Frost asked in calm, neutral tones. "If so I'm pretty sure I know somebody who could offer the service, should you need it that is." He could do it himself if push came to shove. There was no excuse for being so unspeakably foul.

Whether or not the signs of displeasure showed on Frost's face, Claire couldn't help but shake her head slightly as she spoke. "I apologize for his behavior, it's absolutely disgusting." Ugh, she couldn't even watch. He'd torn the napkin off his face - or most of it, anyway - and had begun eating again. His over-eagerness was showing through again as he started to eat messily again, but thankfully Claire noticed this change and leveled him with an icy glare. "Zeus," she said, and the Pikachu froze mid-gobble. "If you don't eat properly I'm going to take that away from you immediately and you will never get ice cream again for the rest of your life."
The electric-type huffed, but he knew Claire would make good on her threats, so he obliged and attempted to refrain from eating too messily. This time, anyway.
Behind the counter, one of the girls lifted out an empty container of black raspberry ice cream before disappearing into the back to dispose of it and get a replacement. She returned in short order with the large carton, and seemed to be having a bit of trouble with it. When it was finally in place - with the help from another girl behind the counter - she sighed, glad to have that done with, before lifting the lid.
Then a short, high-pitched scream erupted through the small ice cream shop.

"Well," Frost pursed his lips slightly, "at least threats seem to be able to control him... somewhat. It could be w-" A scream. Had somebody just happened upon a bug type? Humm, odd, the girl was screaming at the newly opened tub of ice cream. Maybe it was some kind of advert: 'We all scream for ice cream', or some such.
"Could be worse," he concluded without consern for a screamer; he'd only paused in the first place to make sure whatever was happening wasn't a threat to him.
Skiron on the other hand was more alert; he raised his head and pricked up his ears, delicatly licking the traces of sorbet off his lips. What was going on over there? It didn't seem to be a threat to him, his trainer, or their companions but was it a threat to the poor ice cream human? Well if it looked like she was in trouble he would go and help her he supposed, but he wasn't going to dash off to the aid of a strange human without being sure what was happening.

Both Claire and Zeus turned to look at the screaming girl, though the latter quickly grew bored and returned to his ice cream. His owner, however, lifted a slender eyebrow curiously. "What in the world..? What? Oh, yes, it could be worse," she admitted absently.
"Out! Get out, get out, get out!" The girl shrieked, hands clenched into fists at whatever the problem was, though it seemed to have simply startled her at first - she now looked extremely irritated. The issue soon became apparent as a slender Glaceon jumped out of the container, surprisingly clean despite what she was in until then and the purple color it had, and the girl grabbed a broom from a corner. "Out! Go back to your trainer!" She shouted as she swatted at the pale creature with the bristled end of the cleaning instrument.
"Glaaa!" The creature hissed, her back arching in displeasure as her ears flicked back, and she ducked away to avoid being hit with the broom. Instead of going back to her trainer, however, she darted away from the girl and ran in a semi-circle around the restaurant before coming to a rest beneath Skiron's chair, of all places. The ice cream girl, satisfied that the ice cream-eating 'eon wouldn't come back, turned with a huff and pulled the contaminated container out to replace it again.
"Well, well," Claire said as she leaned down to study the likely sticky ice-type under Skiron's chair, "what do we have here?"

A female. Now he was interested. When the ice-cream human swatted at her, he was angry. Fur standing up with icy spikes, he growled at the human as the other Glaceon dived under his chair; she had better take that broom and go away! When she did Skiron allowed his icy spines to dissipate and hopped to the ground to green the other icy-eeveeloution with a soft chirr. he asked with a tilt of his head.
“Mmmh...” Frost raised his eyebrows slightly as the ice type retreated under Skiron’s chair. She was a lovely specimen, and her owner didn’t appear to be anywhere nearby... He already had a Glaceon, but on the other hand ice types were not exactly easy to come across... but if Claire didn’t own a Glaceon, it would be rude of him to try to claim it... but ice was his speciality. Well, ownership could be resolved later; for now all that mattered was that people thought one of them owned the striped ice-cream thief.
“However did you get into there?” the pale-eyed man asked of the ice type after a moment. “Look at you, you must be terribly sticky. We shall have to wash you as soon as we get a chance.”

Claire couldn't help but notice Skiron's reaction to the girl at the counter swatting at the other Glaceon to get it away from the ice cream - a completely understandable reaction from the girl - though the reaction of Frost's ice-type was more interesting. Maybe it was just the fact it was another Glaceon in general, but perhaps it was a female? "I guess it likes ice cream too," she said lightly as she straightened up, resisting the urge to try and pet it. It had just hopped out of an ice cream container. Even if the pokemon did clean all the ice cream off, it'd still be at least mildly sticky and unpleasant, so she refrained for the time being. "Yes, we'll need to clean it up." She didn't like saying 'it' in reference to a pokemon that did, indeed, have a gender, but said gender wasn't easily apparent from where she sat, and she wasn't about to whip out her obviously Rocket 'dex to check. No, that would be bad.
The Glaceon gave herself a thorough shake, the air immediately surrounding her chilled due to being in an ice cream container for an undetermined amount of time. she replied cheerily, studying him momentarily before leaning a few inches closer to sniff at his face before receding.

"Mmh... Perhaps we should finish up quickly and do so," Frost suggested softly, "after all we would hate for anyone who knows... Gilt to see our little friend in this state." That had been quite subtle, or he thought it had been anyway other than the slight pause over the name. Mmh. anyway. Yes. There was no way this Glaceon was wild, in fact it was probably quite valuable. The sooner they secured it the better; having the real owner find it would be extremely annoying.
Skiron replied with a smile, internally hoping that he really had got rid of all traces of the treat from his lips. He didn't get his favourite treat often, but on this occasion he decided that he wanted to share it more than he wanted to have lots more for himself. She might be full from everything she'd been eating anyway, but it was only right of him to make the offer.

It appeared they'd had the same idea, as Claire had just taken a rather large bite of her own ice cream. She obviously waited until she'd swallowed it before replying. "Agreed," though she hadn't any idea who 'Gilt' was; probably the little Glaceon they'd quite easily acquired. The sooner they left the better, just in case its real owner showed up or something. It certainly seemed much too friendly to be feral, and its coat much too exotic looking to be cheap. No, it probably cost its owner a pretty penny to purchase. ...did she just alliterate her thoughts? Arceus. Anyway.. Ice cream, yes. Zeus was already finished, and was doing his best to clean all traces of chocolate from his face. And ear.
she agreed amiably, sitting on her haunches with her tail swaying a bit. At this she puffed her chest out a bit, quite proud at her little feat of getting into the container without being noticed. Until it was opened with the intention to serve, that is.

...Blast, why had he suggested that? Yes it was sensible, but he hated eating quickly. He also hated wasting things so he couldn’t just leave it all. As there was little else to be done Frost set about eating as swiftly as he could bear to. “Does Zeus like flavours other than chocolate?” he asked between mouthfuls. “I’m not sure I shall be able to finish all of this.” Not in a hurry at any rate, not without making himself feel ill. He just wasn’t that good at gobbling, he couldn’t help it.
Skiron gave a purring chuckle. Perhaps she’d come back to base with them; it would be nice to have another Glaceon around... especially a beautiful female one, he had to admit.

"Um," she paused before taking another bite, brows furrowing briefly to consider the question, violet eyes sliding to the Pikachu in question. "I'm not sure. He might, but chocolate is his favorite for anything." Another pause. "Has Skiron finished his sorbet?" If Frost was worried about finishing his own dessert to the point of offering the rest to someone else, he obviously must not want to waste it, so it stood to reason he wouldn't want his pokemon to waste it either.
she replied with a purr, extending her front legs and lifting her behind in a very satisfying stretch for a few moments before sitting back down. Ooh, that sounded interesting. she said with a roll of her eyes. boring.>

"Ah... Not yet. Skiron," Frost looked down at his pokemon, "finish up your food; we need to go as soon as we can, alright?" Right, now just concentrate on eating. Blowing out a short breath through his nose the pale-skinned man set about consuming his dessert. He had a feeling he wouldn't fancy ice-cream again in the foressable future, but he would feel far worse if he let it go to waste.
Skrion bobbed his head slightly to the female Glaceon, Hopping back up onto his chair, the pale-coated ice type dipped his head delicately and started to eat again.

Finally, interesting things! Hopefully they were really, really interesting, but then again.. anything anyone did was more interesting than her current trainer.
She nodded as he instructed the shiny Glaceon to continue, though she wasn't too sure how much more she could eat. There wasn't too much left, though, but really, she wasn't sure she could finish... A thought struck her then, and she glanced down at the pale ice-type on the floor before offering her bowl. "Would you like to finish my ice cream for me?"
At the mention of yet more ice cream, the little Glaceon churred happily and spun in a circle before looking at Claire expectantly. Taking this as a 'yes' the young woman set the bowl on the floor, only to find the creature churring once more and spinning in not one, but two circles, before hunkering down to (neatly) enjoy the treat. Claire frowned momentarily at the Glaceon's behavior, not sure if it was out of a general appreciation or if it was in response to the specific flavor. Hmm, this might be worth looking into at a later point in time.
