"Why are you... staring at me?" Melody giggled, taking a bite of her ice cream. "Oh, that wasn't a good idea!" She raised her hand to her forehead. "Brain freeze!"

Arthur blushed before looking away. He spoke under his breath at first, "Embezzle me." He glanced quickly at his handlers, somehow managing to look more flustered, "it's uh . . . I can't see stuff that's far off very well without my glasses, and your right at that distance that things get fuzzy."

"Oh." Melody took a step forward. "Is this better?"

Arthur quite obviously made a show of squinting his eyes before giving an over-exaggerated gasp. "Ah, now you're in quite a sparkling quality; much better." He made another quick glance at his handlers, "so, which flavor did you get?"

Ellis leaned in to whisper to Melody. "Who's this guy?"

"Chocolate." Melody looked at Ellis quizzically. "You don't remember Arthur? He's from the mafia."

Mmm. I gone dun goof. Ignore me.

Ellis glanced at Arther. "And what flavor did you get?"

Aarthur smiled, "you know, I assumed that you had started to follow the sage advice of the ancient philosopher Wu Garren."

I believe that we both just mispelled Arthur.

"Never heard of him. Or... well, maybe I had, but I'd have forgotten him."

It seems that we did. We must remove all evidence before Condensation sees.

I say we keep it.

"Well, looking like a fool is a great way to draw attention away from yourself."

Arthur's smile turned sly, "or make yourself the center of it."

 Too late. (And yes, Fadran, I know that you said you should keep it.) "I'm laughing at the 'superior intellect.'" -Captain Kirk

"What flavor of cone did you get, Arthur?"

"Hmm? Oh, I got chocolate fudge with raspberry syrup, very tasty."

"In some ways it's been an adventure, although I'm fairly sure not everyone would see it like that."

"Yeah? Did you finish those... reports we were working on?"

"Hmm? Oh those; well, they were actually the point of a lot of contention." Arthur spared another glance towards his handlers.

Arthur spared another glance at his handlers, "a change in administration. The guy I normally work under got . . . reassigned. My new boss isn't entirely enthralled with how I do business for our organization." Arthur quickly changed the subject, "so why are you going camping?"

"Because apartments are expensive," Ellis replied, finishing his ice cream. "I'm going to go get something real quick, Melody. Try not to summon any more walking buildings while I'm gone." He walked off to find another shop.

"Walking... buildings? Melody asked confusedly. "Yeah, whatever. We're camping because there's more space! Plus, it's really fun."

Arthur scoffed, "if by 'fun' you mean sleeping on the ground, being able to feel every root and rock dig into your back, and eating stuff that was cooked on an open fire, then I guess you might have a point."

"You have obviously never been camping right. Hey, you should come camping with us!"

Arthur's handlers seemed hostile to that idea. Arthur himself made a face of disgust at first and looked as if he were about to speak, but then he closed his mouth and thought about it. He started speaking slowly, "perhaps it would be nice to have someone show me the 'correct' way to camp. Besides, I uh . . . I believe that I'm long overdue for a uh . . . Break."

At Arthur's mention of this, his handlers glared at him.

"Oh, come on! Please?" Melody wheedled, turning pitiful eyes on the men. "Can he please come camping with us?"
