The white-haired boy barely noticed Sora's entrance. Too busy eating, yo.

He had to stop himself from running over. So. Many. Flavours. He leaned perhaps a little too closely to the glass, his eyes roving the multitude of options available. Should he go for his favourite, or try something new?
Oh, and there was still the lingering problem of price.
"Excuse me, how much is that one?" He pointed to the blueberry, "And that one?" He pointed to another equally as tasty looking flavour he'd just spotted, "And that one? ... Oh! And that one?"

Then again, he could believe it.

Said white-haired boy was now staring at him. Flatly. Completely unimpressed.
Man, he had just taken a shower...

Sora continued to gape, his mouth opening and closing twice before words made it out.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen. I just, kinda, slipped. Um, where's a towel?" He began scanning the table for any form of anything absorbable to try to fix his mess.
He spotted some serviettes and grabbed a handful, then shoved them onto the other boys head, trying to wipe up the ice cream.

The irritation was gone as swiftly as it had come. Soul was already shrugging the other boy's hands away, and starting to clean himself off.

"Thanks," He smiled hesitantly, "Can I buy you an icecream to make up for it?"
He asked this automatically, before remembering he actually didn't have any money, and internally hit himself over the head.

Soul would, no doubt, clean his wallet out with a single order. The guy was a voracious eater.
"You new?"
While he didn't pay extra attention to the guests, Soul got around enough to know that this was the first time he'd seen a kid like this around.

“Yeah, I am. I arrived in this town a couple of days ago. Have you been here very long?”
It felt odd to be attempting pleasant conversation right after he’d just accidently dumped ice cream on the boy’s head, but he was none the less grateful. And meeting new people was a favourite pass time of Sora’s anyway.

Soul paused for a moment, to dig around for more tissue. He was going to need to dump his head under some water pretty soon...
...but he also wanted to finish off the rest of his ice cream. Hurm.
"What's your name?"
Reply
"You've always lived here? How long have the witches been attacking?"
Most people he'd met here seemed so resigned to a long and drawn out conflict. Sora preferred to get things over and done with, but perhaps there was more to it than he understood at this stage.
"Oh, I'm Sora. What's your name?"

The Weapon took a huge bite out of the rest of his ice cream before answering that first question.
"Shibusen's been at war with the witches for longer than anybody can remember."
Reply
"Nice to meet you Soul. That's kind of a funny name, isn't it? Uh... Sorry again about the ice cream."
Sora glanced back up at the boys head. If he wasn't careful the ice cream would stick there and be very tricky to get out. He'd offer to help him wash it off if this place had a bathroom shortly, but first, final elements of curiosity needed to be satiated; "How come no ones beaten them yet? Seems like an awfully long time to be fighting the same people."

"We've been pretty evenly matched, if I'm getting my facts straight. Lots of things have happened recently too."
Reply
"Like what? You mean the people coming in from other worlds? Or something else?"
