[Look, Lalli's used to running around for hours on end? Dangle some food—some sweets—in front of him and watch him FLY. Anyway, Lalli is indeed inside, hand tucked under his chin as he tries to make sense of everything listed on the sign hung above the counter. One young employee is watching him warily, but while he doesn't look thrilled about having this person in his shop, well... it's not like there's anything else going on! Who wants to pay for ice cream when they can barely afford bread...
So Lalli is free to weigh his many options! It's requiring some serious brain power, which is why Emil's question is met with a simple:]
Mmh.
[Yes, he's sure! Partly because he's tired of trekking around the city, partly because this shit looks... amazingly sweet.]
...Butterscotch? [What a wild word. He glances back Emil's way to see if he knows what, exactly, that is, all while the person behind the counter shrugs and begins throwing stuff into a glass. Is that really what he wanted? Well, maybe not, but that's what's eventually handed to him—after he forks over almost all of the money he has. Follow him to this table, Emil. Stare at this sundae with him, until he takes one of the two spoons stuck in the top and rolls the cherry... over toward the opposite side. It's a gift.]
