[Riona's surprised to see the message, but it does lift her spirits a little.]

In the kitchen. I'll come get you.

[While she's not entirely in the mood for company, she knows it's for the best if she has some. She's been brooding a bit too much. As she walks towards the door, she glances down and notes that she's not exactly dressed in her best. Her hair's in a bun on top of her head and she's in those awful coveralls. Crap. A moment of consideration passes where she debates whether or not to go back and make herself a bit more presentable. But that would keep Anakin waiting, and that's not acceptable.

A minute later, she arrives and opens the door for him, offering a smile.]

I didn't know you were coming.

[sandhate]

[ Anakin returns the smile and excitedly dangles the bag of chocolate chips in front of her. It might be the first time that they're actually meeting face to face but he's always been impatient and eager to get to the core of it; and today, that is sharing chocolates on sundaes. ]

I thought I had to pry these out of Stefan's cold dead fingers but it was just in the kitchen. We're in luck. [ A shrug, he lets himself on the ship and takes a few step before deciding it'd be better to let the person who knows where to go to lead. This time he does catch the look on Fiona's face and he paused for a second. ] It's not a bad time is it?

[bryces_pup]

[She closes the door behind him, making sure it locks before she gestures for him to follow.]

No. Not at all.

[Another smile, this one a tad more forced as she leads him towards the kitchen. Anakin's presence is not unwanted. She's simply finding it hard to keep her spirits up as she's normally able to. Perhaps this sundae business will help with that.]

Are those chocolates?

[sandhate]

[ Normally, people are a lot more excited about chocolate. At least he is. They don't have these kind of thing on Tatoonine and he had assume that Riona might not have had the pleasure of having any either. After all, they had holoprojectors in the Outer Rim that Riona seems to be impressed with.

Anakin nods, a brow raised now that it seems like his 'surprise' isn't so much of a surprise ]

It is... Don't tell me you have these in your world.

[bryces_pup]

We have chocolate, though it is quite hard to come by. But not in that shape.

[As she gestures to his chips, they reach the kitchen. It's quit and clean, affording the two some privacy to make their desserts.]

[sandhate]

[ anakin waste no time and heads straight for the freezer, then ice cream. ]

You're lucky. I didn't know chocolate existed until I was sixteen. We didn't have it on my world, and things that had that colour weren't exactly edible.

[ he shakes the box of ice cream, gauging how much there is left in it. ] Spoons? Bowls?

[bryces_pup]

As are most things that color, to be fair.

[She goes to one of the cupboards and opens it. After she pulls out two bowls, she shuts it and moves onto the drawer with the silverware.]

What did you think, the first time you tried it?

[sandhate]

[ He's scooping generous portions of ice cream into the bowl. ]

I thought someone was pouring machine oil on perfectly fine ice cream. Which reminds me, we have to melt this.

[ he opens up a cupboard, looking for a pot ]

Machine oil and ice cream might be a weird choice but there are so many different life forms from all over the galaxy on Coruscant, so you just never know. I thought it must be for a Nelvaanian.

[bryces_pup]

Machine oil? I'm... not familiar with machines or what comes with them. I haven't delved much into understanding them, if I'm being honest.

[Not entirely due to lack of curiosity, but mostly just a feeling of being far out of her depth. Perhaps in time, when she's more able to learn it. Too much still confuses her.]

[sandhate]

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to forget that. Machines with gears. [ He press his knuckles in crossing patterns to mimic gears shifting against each other. ] They need oil to make it work better. It's a brown, black colour. I saw a lot more machine oil when I was a kid than melted chocolate.

[ a small smile. ]

It's a good thing. I hear these rots your teeth.

[bryces_pup]

Eugh. And you know of races that eat that?

[gross]

Does it? Is it just chocolate that does that? I've never heard such.

[sandhate]

There's a lot of species out there that eat even weirder things.

[ He drops all the chocolate in a pot he found and sets it up on top of what looks like a stove.

He blinks at the question. ]

Do you have... dentists?

[bryces_pup]

...I don't want to know. Well I do. But I'm afraid to ask.

[See that blank look she's giving you, Anakin? There's your answer.]

...N...o...?

[sandhate]

[ Oh man. He rubs his neck. ]

They take care of your teeth. [ He pulls a face ] What do you guys do if you get your teeth knocked out?

[bryces_pup]

Well... a healer would pull out whatever might be left of the tooth. If you have the coin, I've heard you can have a fake tooth made and put in.

[sandhate]

That's exactly what a dentist is. Just a healer who takes care of your teeth.

[bryces_pup]

So you have... specialized healers? Or is it just such a case for teeth?

[Inter...esting.]

[sandhate]

There are all sorts of healers on Coruscant. It depends on what you're looking for, how much credits you have and what species you are. Some of these healers can make you look like an entirely different person.

[bryces_pup]

That doesn't sound like healing. Changing what you look like? That sounds... like madness.

[sandhate]

[ He shrugs. ]

People have their own reasons for that.

[ By the powers of time skip, he holds pours melted chocolate on to two bowls of ice cream. ]

Now the best part is we get to add other stuff. So, what do you want? Banana, strawberry - whatever that is, or hot sauce.

[bryces_pup]

Hmmmm...

[She pokes through the fridge, looking for fruits. She pulls out a few things similar to what he suggested and lays them on the counter.]

These are quite sweet.

[sandhate]

... You want to add fruit.

[ He looks skeptical at the real fruit. The sundaes' he's used to is artificial as hell but there's a first time for everything ]

Go for it.

[bryces_pup]

[Blink.]

But did you not just suggest adding fruit? We do not have strawberries or the like, but this is the closest I could find to such.
