"You know," Dark said coolly, elongating his words only slightly, leading Daizi to sit outside with him, "I saw you in the ice cream shop."
Feigning complete confusion and offense, Daizi responded, "You got ice cream? Without us?"
"So did you," He allowed himself a little grin, "I saw you there."
"Goose Mongoose Dark, I have never, in my life, ever snuck a treat without the rest of the family!" Daizi exclaimed, putting one hand over her heart, and when Ivy cooed, she nodded firecely and added, "Thank you, Ivy. She knows."
"Really?" Dark said, raising one eyebrow.
"Certainly not, and I resent the accusation!"
"Then what were you doing at the ice cream shop?"
"I was nowhere of the sort!" She scoffed.
"I saw you."
"Really?"
"I certainly did."
She whipped her face around again and invaded his personal space, "Then I ask you---what were you doing there?"
Matching her, he said, "Not sneaking away, unlike somebody." From inside the rental, if it wasn't for the small bursts of laughter occasionally fighting their way out, it might have sounded like a genuine argument.
