Poof.

Oh it is a whole full body affair to wave the thing around. I think they were inspired by those giant ink brushes that some of those calligraphy nuts like to use.

Ellen: ...Feels more to me like they're a king short of a royal flush.

[Raleigh]

Isn't everyone really?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...I like to think I have some measure of sanity to my name, thank you.

[Raleigh]

Heh. Keep it while you can then is my suggestion. We live in very weird worlds so some odd things will happen around us.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...I've had to put up with Mom and Elk every single day of my life, and Ezekiel for almost every day of his. I have a high resistance to "odd" and "weird" by this point.

[Raleigh]

*Nods.* Good point.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: Mm. *finishes her meal* ...So, you mentioned something about dessert?

[Raleigh]

Indeed. What would everybody like? I know I have several different kinds of ice cream already in stock from a shopping trip the other day.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Some Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake for me, please. Ezekiel's stomach can't handle ice cream at the moment, so he'll have his after his next transformation.

[Raleigh]

*Summons up the requested ice cream for Ellen.* Zeke, you want anything else? I could conjure up something more to your liking if ice cream is a problem at the moment.

[AmbushCat]

*Ellen happily---so to speak---starts on her dessert. Zeke, meantime, shakes her head slowly and meows something politely---which, when translated, indicates that her belly is full.*

[Raleigh]

*Eats some plain old vanilla ice cream himself.*

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *looks up for a moment from her dessert, looking at Raleigh's share* ...That suits you.

[Raleigh]

Thank you.
