Characters: Aradia and whoever
Setting: Cafeteria and library, but feel free to assume someone ran into her in the hallway!
Format: Prose to start, but I'll match!
Summary: Aradia decides to test out if ice cream goes better with waffles or pancakes. Because obviously this is a worthwhile scientific pursuit. And then later decides that a little mental adventure might be nice, so she holes up in the library- but feel free to run into her wherever!
Warnings: Possibly language, depending on who joins in.

Okay, so maybe she'd gone a teeny, tiny bit overboard.

Still, staring at the two plates in front of her, Aradia decided that every once in a while, 'overboard' was more than okay by her. On her left a couple of stacks of pancakes around a small mound of ice cream, syrup and a different kind of fruit on each kind. On her right, a single large waffle, ice cream already melting into it, syrup drizzled all over not just the ice cream, but the whipped cream on top as well. Okay, pancakes first, then waffle.

She could totally eat all this, yup.

------------

Aradia hadn't ever been one much for sitting around reading- after all, why sit and read about adventures when you could go out an have one yourself? But that wasn't to say she didn't enjoy a good story as much as the next troll. Especially when there was a limit to what you could explore, and the number of floors in the tower were definitely that- limiting. It was strange, going from having pretty much all of space and time to explore to having such a small amount of it to wander in- but she supposed it was better than not being able to wander at all.

Still, the itch to do something rash was getting pretty strong, and so in order to resist it, she made her way down to the library, intent on finding something to read to try and stop herself from getting too bored.

About a table away was another ice cream connoisseur, popsicle dangling out of his mouth in part because of how exhausted he seemed. Upon extracting the treat, he gave a loud yawn, opening his eyes and spotting the 'science experiment'. Despite being such a lover of all things icey and frozen, Roxas had actually not exercised any attempts to try it with other things, so the two mounding plates sure caught his attention.

"...can you really eat all that?" There was a laugh in there, under all his exhaustion.

"Well, I might be able to, I might not..." she said with a shrug, smile evident in her own words, even as she dug into a stack of pancakes eagerly, raising an eyebrow at the popsicle stick dangling from his lips. "I'd say that I wouldn't mind some help if I can't, but it looks like you just finished your own..!"

"Huh?" Roxas nearly dropped his popsicle, looking sheepish and ruffling his hair. "Hah, I guess...I'm just tired."

'Way too tired...something's not right.'

"But, uh. I guess I'm just full up on popsicles." Better to not make strangers wonder about his health. "I've never seen people eat icecream with other things before like that. Then again, I don't think I've ever even had a waffle or pancakes at all."

"What, really? The pancakes are really yummy so far! You should try them the next time you get hungry...!"

Aradia watched him thoughtfully, watching his movements with an eye trained to spot tired trolls- who were admittedly much better at hiding it than humans, it seemed.

"You should go sleep then! I mean, no offense but you forgot about your popsicle, so I think you might really need it!"

The pancakes got a sidelong glance, and something of a grimace followed suite. "I guess it's better than getting myself sick of ice cream."

As for her non-offensive prying?

"...I've been sleeping in the library for two weeks."

The deadpan he gave while delivering that statement could probably have made it in to a hall of fame somewhere.
