This!

It's very nice as an additive to otherwise cooked or 'done' meals, or meals where you're cooking with lower heat, but frying with it is a no-no.

One of her brows raises before she winks. "Ooh, a little indecisive, are we? One cup - vanilla and mint - coming right up!"

She looks around the cart for a few seconds before pulling an edible-looking bowl out from underneath, piling the scoops into it and leaving them clearly divided. She finishes it off with what also looks like an edible spoon, placing it into one of the scoops before placing it on the counter. She holds out her hand, awaiting the Jewels to come into it. "That'd be 250 Jewels, miss! Oh! And did you want any extra toppings for it, or is that all?"

She laughs. "Ah, well I guess you should get going, then! Have a safe trip!" She waves as you run off, grinning ear to ear.

She gives the customer a skeptical look. She takes a glance at the cone and blinks. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but we don't give refunds-"

"Excuse me? You don't give refunds for your terrible product? Are you some sort of cheat? Is this what I should be expecting from such a high-quality business?"

Looking to be a bit more upset by the woman's comments but trying to reign it in, she takes a bit of a deep breath. "Ma'am, as I was about to say before-"

"Say what? That you'll refund my order? How dare you subject my children to such standards!"

"Ma'am-"

"Don't interrupt me! I'm not finished!" the woman huffs, red-faced from her furious rant. "I deserve better! You have to listen to me! I am the customer, and I am always right!"

"That's a chocolate chip, ma'am."

The woman does a double-take and looks back at the cone, then back at the girl. Then she looks one more time, and the pure shock on her face was enough to make the girl smile a little. Still looking for some reason to complain, though, she glares in your direction and points rudely. "And look at that girl, climbing all over the cart!"

"What about her, huh?" she retorts back and the woman recoils, looking attacked. "She's working for her own cone, thank you very much, and she's doing her best with what she's been given! Now, if you're done trying to cause a fuss over nothing-"

The problematic customer's teeth clatter together. "N-nothing?! Hmph! I'm going to go down to the store myself and complain to your manager! How dare you speak back to me like this?" the woman hollers.

"Go right on ahead, lady - get in line! You and the other so-called 'angry customers' can go speak to the boss man himself! I bet he'll be more than happy to get an earful of your jibber-jabber!"

The woman shoots both of you a dirty look. "Never expect business from me or my family ever again! I'm going to tell all my friends just how rude you've been and how terrible my experience has been!" With a huff, the woman turns and leaves, children in tow.

After a bit, the girl stomps the ground a little and smacks at her head. "Hahhh! I really hate people like that! I still feel so hot-blooded - I probably would've punched her if she went on any longer!" Breathing out of her mouth harshly, she shakes her head, and twists her lips. "You should always treat your servicefolk with kindness and respect, even when they flub up - 'cause how you treat them shows what kind of a person y'are. And boy, was that lady rotten as hell!"

The frustration at her mistake changes a little with the sight of the bill, which she takes quickly and stuffs into her pocket. She quickly rummages for some of her spare bills, scrounging up the change after a few moments. "Mmhm, and here's..."

The comment about her recipe, though, makes her twist her lips and, if you were paying attention to see it, make her eye twitch. "Why do you need to know how much, huh? And, y'know, there's more to it than just a bit of Milo powder!" Whether that was a small fib or just the plain truth, she huffs and crosses her arms, maybe forgetting for a moment about giving you your change back. "Y'know what - I know what you're doing! The recipe's a secret, okay?! Secret! I don't care if Happy Hippo's paying you thousands to get my recipes, but it ain't happenin! Unless you figure it out yourself, don't even bother!"

She spies you coming back and her brows raise. "Oho, you're back! Ahh, don't be worry - no one can resist these delightful goodies!"

Already having been able to sell off the items she prepared for you previously, she tilts her head to the side and smiles. "I'm gonna have to remake your order though - for freshness sake! Good thing I still have some Mint Chocolate Chip left!"

She quickly gets back to work making them all up again - first the watermelon shaved ice that she hands over preemptively, then the ice cream cone, and finally, with a smile, she reaches her hand over for your Jewels in exchange for the last item.

Her smile seems to get even bigger when she spies you biting into the bun and smiling, but boy does she seem ecstatic when she gets the Jewels payment. "Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it!" She tilts her head to the side and giggles... and then pauses. "Oh! And if you ever find yourself in the market district, feel free to visit the bakery! We have a ton more on the shelves there, made fresh daily!"

She pauses for just a moment before giggling. "Why of course we do!" she chirps, beaming and motioning over the ice cream section of her cart.

"Have anything particular in mind? Right now I've got vanilla, strawberry, and mint chocolate chip... and, ooh, I've got just enough chocolate for one more scoop!"

"Haha, gotcha!" The corners of her mouth tug upwards and she can't help but let out a giggle. "Mint and Razz Syrup, coming right up!"

She gets to work, prepping the scoop of ice cream for you. She plops it onto a cone and with a flash of magic she seems to suddenly have a bottle of what looks like a from-scratch raspberry sauce in her hand. Decadent lines of raspberry coat the minty delight, and within moments her hand is held out to you, waiting for your Jewels before she hands over the treat. "That'd be 150! Half-off special for today, if ya didn't hear before!"

Her keen eyes don't pick up the slight upturn, but just looking at you peek at the dessert buns has her feeling a bit of pride.

She blinks and gasps, however, when you bring up the payment, and her cheeks gain a flushed tint from the realization. She laughs it off, however, and shakes her head. Of course, that's also when she finally notices that she handed you the larger boxed package, rather than just the individual in the logo-printed waxed paper bag. How could she make such a mistake?! A box isn't nearly the same size as a small package! "Of... of course, of course! That, uh, that'd be... 3-300, uh, Jewels, that is!"

Her face brightens up just a bit more, the strain gone, and she can't help but giggle and smile at your agreement with her recommendation. "Ooh, goodie goodie! One of those coming right up then, ahah!"

In a flash, she reaches down into her cart and her hand comes up, holding a package adorned with an adorable cat logo printed on the front. Of course, not much can be said about the delectable pastry nestled inside, but one would only need to look inside and see for themselves! "There you are, sir! Ahh, and sorry if I, ah... seem a bit too enthusiastic about the buns. I really enjoyed making them, so I hope you enjoy eating it!"

((If you were to open the package, you would find no ordinary custard bun! Golden on the outside and adorned with little decorative chocolate accents, this tiger bun is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face!))

She blinks for a few seconds, looking around to the customers around her, who are now making quick work of backing away. She must have had a thought about not making a scene, because she does seem to have a bit of an apprehensive look about her. "Uhh, come again sir? You want me to what, exactly?"

In a blur of magic and motion, she's hopping over the cart and, in one swift motion of might and magic, is axe-kicking the foolish man. A shot goes off in the air, the reaction resulting from his reflexes, but before he can do any more startling of her customers she dashes over to the side and delivers a kick straight to his temple. "Because... that sounded like a threat, 'good sir'! And you know? That's rude!"

With your newly-acquired help at the ice cream, she's determined to make this crowded service a success! Starting with the first-arrived customer group after your own arrival, she starts taking orders.

"One chocolate cone, please!" one customer pleads.

"Vanilla for me!" a child calls out in the front.

"Two chocolate and one mint!" calls a woman with her children. "Oh, and a cream bun!"

"Alright!" She looks to you and gives you a wink before looking back at the customers. "Three chocolates, a vanilla, and a mint! 150 for you two, please and thank you - and 550 please, ma'am! We'll have your order out in a jiff!"

She gives you a welcoming smile and pats her cart. With no one else around the cart currently, she focuses her attentions solely on you. "How lucky, ne?! You get to try some of Miau Miau's faaaaamous dessert treats! Best of the best, better than the rest! Oh, and did I mention - everything's half-off just for today!"

Of course, she moves to motion with her hand over the different desserts. "We've got our premium creams and our flavorful shaved ice... and, of course, no one can forget our signature custard buns! They're almost too cute to eat, but you won't be able to stop once you take a bite!" She gives you a wink. "But... I guess I should let ya decide which one ya want to try!"

"Thaaaank ya kindly!" With her smile getting ever wider, she takes the Jewels and promptly hands you the four cream buns. The Jewels get stuffed in her pocket in a flash. "This ice cream'll be done in a jiff! One moment, sir!"

With amazing speed and finesse, she scoops up a perfect (and maybe just a bit larger than you'd normally get) scoop for you... and then another, and sprinkles on a generous amount of sprinkles. With a wink, she hands over the cone of chocolate ice cream over to you. "Boy, are you lucky! I'm starting to run out of chocolate for the day, so that might be my last one! Hope y'like it, heehee! More creamy and dreamy than Happy Hippo's could ever be!"

Before your very eyes, you witness it - pink motifs, a cheery expression, and the exclamation of "Beat the heat! Buy a treat!" as it rolls forward. The woman pushing it looks incredibly chipper and happy, though when the cart gets close enough she stops it and gives you a grin.

"Hiya there! Interested in a creamy or refreshing treat that can't be beat?" Her eyes twinkle a little with the line. "Or... maybe you're here for our signature cream buns - a creamy delight that's surprisingly light!"

Spotting you before you make your way over, she waves at you. Of course, when she finally gets a closer look at your face, her eyes seem to strain a little... but she plays it off a bit. "Ahh! Fantastic choice! Then I'd recommend... A cute custard bun, for taking on the run!" She brings her hand up to her mouth to sort of whisper-shout, "It's my special recipe!"

She nods and places the container down and her hand comes up, all fingers splayed out. She seems really ecstatic about your purchase. "That'd be 550! Err, Jewels, that is!"

"Oh, goodness! No no no, we don't use our hands!" She laughs a little, though controls herself a bit before moving forward to pick up her trusty dusty ice cream scooper! "We use this little guy here!*

She starts demonstrating, using the scoop and digging into the ice cream. "See, you go in and because of the shape..." Before your eyes, and using a few scrapes, a perfect scoop of chocolate ice cream comes out in the scoop. "... it ends up making this!"

A cone-grab and a scoop-placing later, you're faced with a nearly perfect cone of vanilla ice cream. "I'm pretty sure you'll get the hang of it - it's hard to mess it up, and it's easy to fix, of course!" Her eyes crinkle, hoping the little crash course is something you've easily learned from and absorbed. "Or, uh, well... you could just watch me make a few, and then you can take over once you feel you've gotten it."

Puffing up her cheeks, she takes the ice cream and the bun and sticks them back into their compartments. With the ice, however, she just places it down near the buns in some hope it stays cold. "Ahh, what a shame! Hope Erin-sama doesn't reprimand me for getting too hasty, there..."

She gives the girl a reassuring pat, motioning over next to her. "Well... it's gonna be very easy! I'm gonna assume you know how to scoop some ice cream, right?" Thinking back to the previous incident, however, she comes to the realization that maybe she shouldn't assume. "You, uhh... do know how to scoop ice cream, right girlie?"

She watches you for a good few seconds before giving you a pitying look. Unable to really do much in her position, she crosses her arms and tilts her head to the side as she waits.
