Armel smiled at Onoway and just replied, "Not knowin' stuff is nothin' t'be ashamed of!" The boy should know, it was a lesson Pales had gradually taught him, "Ice cream is cold, but it's ... tasty-cold. We'll get you stuff you can eat out of a cup so it doesn't melt everywhere while y'try it. T's the only bad part of ice cream, it can get kin'a messy." Armel grinned lightly at Onoway and shrugged.
Pales chuckled, "How about it? Want to try something new?" He waved at a vendor as he was waddling along proclaiming he was open for business just with the ringing, and jingling of bells as well as roaming about at a lumbering pace because of the heavy cart he had to push about.

"Oh, sure." If only to please them, she agreed. This topic of... ice cream seemed to make them both happy, but it didn't sound all that nice so far to her. Cold? Messy? Eesh. People had such odd favors.
It would at least give her something to speak with Noharu about when she undoubtedly, eventually returned to get her. There always seemed to be some awkward silence between them--for reasons other than Onoway lacking a real voice. "Sounds very interesting."

Pales nodded a bit as the Vendor stopped by them. The vender and man talked for a few moments bantering back and forth before purchases became complete and the vendor wandered off as Pales gathered spoons and ice cream for all. For Onoway he got a basic ice cream sampler cup with different flavors in it such as the basics: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry and a couple of not so basic flavors. For Armel he got a small sundae and Pales got himself a cup of strawberry ice cream.
Before handing them out, however, the man moved off to the side obviously expecting the children to follow them, "No need to stay in people's way." he said as he found a bench to settle upon waiting for the other two to come up and get their ice cream from him.
"Guess not." Armel agreed walking over to his Da making sure Onoway wouldn't be left behind, "It's better to sit down and eat ice cream anyhow." he informed Onoway on the way over to where Pales settled.
No matter what Pales always made sure Onoway was somewhere in plain sight so that her guardian could easily find Onoway upon returning to pick up her child.
((You can go ahead and just rattle off whatever other random ice cream flavors that are in the 'sampler' cup for Onoway, Noyama. ^^))

(Mmkay. :3)
"Oh, of course," Onoway agreed and followed them carefully. All of this seemed to be some complicated part of everyday life. She hoped she'd be able to grasp these concepts soon. Sitting down, she eyed the ice cream in an almost suspicious way. 'Rocky Road' or something, she believed it was called. Well, it was green, so it couldn't be evil or anything...
After watching the other two briefly, and hoping they hadn't noticed, she finally gathered the nerve to try this 'ice cream'. "Oh my!" the Tale squeaked, her hands coming up to her mouth. Goodness, that was cold! Had he mentioned it being that cold?!
With the sudden realization she'd released both her cup and spoon, she winced. Her eyes opened, expecting it to be splattered all over the ground, but instead she found it hovering in the air infront of her. Literally, in the air. Seems some wind had suddenly picked up, strong enough to keep the objects hovering in the air.
"Oh, thank you." Who in the world was she thanking? Perhaps it was habbit. Carefully, she reached out and snatched both objects, blushing enough that it was noticeable even with her dark skin. "I'm sorry," apologized the girl sheepishly.

Pales sort of blinked at the reaction and tilted his head with a quick bird-like motion that he sometimes was unable to control. He smiled though and offered a small chuckle, "Some times people prefer their ice cream warmed up a bit for some reason. I have known people to put their ice cream in a microwave." Pales didn't quite seem startled at the ice cream and spoon to be held up in the air except to maybe tilt his head the other way, this time slower more deliberate, "That's neat." He muttered.
Armel reguarded the reactions with a blink, "Y'alright there Onoway?" he was more concerned about her well being. The ice cream could have splattered to the floor and everywhere else and he'd likely still be most worried about the person that had the adverse reaction. Though rest assured there would come questions later as soon as the girl said she was okay.
The man cleared his throat, covering over his awe with another commentary about ice cream, "Other than the cold it is quite good.. The cold is what you have to get over first. You have nothing to apologize for. Nothing at all."
The boy and man both didn't seem to question why she said 'thank you' to seemingly nothing. They likely figured she had her own reasons.

"Mother doesn't have things like this in the house." Not because she was one of those 'parents' who religiously refused their children any form of sweets. It was just, she cared about having the food she and Onoway's sister liked, nothing more. Noharu ate mostly fruits and vegetables, and Karoko literally lived off blueberries. Hence why they had only those types of things.
"Quite alright," she answered. It was true. Once you got use to the fact it was cold, it tasted much better. ...What in the world was a microwave? She decided to save a few questions for Noharu when she eventually returned. "Tell me, Armel, if you don't mind," she pondered thoughtfully. "Are there any of us who're bad? Evil, maybe?"

Not that Pales could exactly explain microwaves, nor Armel. Pales didn't really use microwaves preferring to cook things the hard way -- With the stove and by hand. The man only remembered things from the world he came from and what he grew up with.
"Ahh, I don't often buy ice cream and such myself. I am afraid it'd go bad before we would get around to eating it ... Plus there are certain individuals in my home that get quite destructive when they eat sweet things." He laughs a bit, "Not that they mean to."
Armel raised an eyebrow, how anyone could be destructive and not 'mean' to is beyond him really, though his attention was brought back to Onoway and her question. The ram-horned boy considered it for a moment or two, "Jus' 'bout anyone has t'potential for evil. I guess. I 'aven't met anyone evil, yet. Though I been 'ere a while I din' meet everyone yet." Armel finished off his ice cream thoughtfully for a moment, "Well, let's say it this way. If there are through and through wicked ones out there an ye get a bad vibe from 'em try t'stay away."
It was the only way Armel was sure on how to deal with such things. Though Armel himself is the type to stay around and fight, "Though, really what do you consider t'be bad or evil," it was an interesting question that was posed, and possibly a little over the head of most children.

For a few moments, Onoway pondered over it. Finally, uncertainly she answered, "I'm not quite sure. Perhaps that is why I felt it nesscary to ask you. You, no doubt, qualify not as 'evil' for me. So... if you thought one was evil, I'd assume they were, and from there I would form my own opinions of who is evil and who isn't."
For the second time, she nearly dropped the ice cream. Not because it was cold, but because of the ear-piercing 'ONOWAY' that rang out through the air. Admittedly, the child was a bit unwilling to go. She enjoyed the company of her new friend and his father. They were very nice people.
However... Noharu's patience wasn't one to be tested. "Forgive me, I must go now." Bowing politely, she called a short 'I'm coming' and off she went.

Armel nodded in response to Onoway's response, "Seems fair 'nough. Though people act differently toward others they meet sometimes...It depends on if they like what they see I guess." He shrugged, and then cringed at the yell for Onoway.
Why did people feel the need to do that? Seriously, there are better ways of using the air in your lungs -- like breathing. Breathing was a nice quiet activity that didn't require loud tones.
Pales just sort of blinked, his eyes going wide, "Hope we didn't get you in trouble." He murmured nodding as she said she had to go.
"Aye, careful and safe journey. Hope t'see ye again." Armel tried to be cheerful despite the minor irritation. He waved Onoway off.
After the girl was gone Pales got up and caught a hold of the man's hand after chunking what was left of his treat and walking off with him. The father and son pair talking quietly between eachother about what had happened today.
