Not a red carpet kind of celebrity, of course, but delicious ice cream was a very close second. And he, Risu, could have it for free. It was such a pity really that he was about 25 years beyond his ice-cream phase.
"Well, I'm sure you could Apparate into the atmosphere, or even the edge of space, but what would you do then?" Risu shrugged. "You could even try to Apparate further out with proper equipment, I suppose, a space suit and so forth, but what then? Even if you concentrated hard enough and did not splinch yourself, would you be able to focus again to return to Earth?" He raised an eyebrow. "I'd be hard-pressed to accept a gamble of that kind.
"Now," he added with a sigh, "do you have any other questions? I do not mean to cut you short, of course, but it does appear as if I have another visitor..."
"I'm with a celebrity of sorts too," Jake added, quite proudly. And one in the sweet-tooth business. "Bott... Neptune Bott."
Wasn't it fitting that Jake of all people was dating the heiress of a HUGE candy company?
The answer is yes.
Doopdoopdooooooooop.
Jake could only really nod at what Antares was saying. He DID understand, but there was really nothing more he could put into the conversation without sounding like he was trying hard not to sound dumb or left behind. Which... happened a lot. "Maybe one day..."
Yeah. That was it. Oh Jake...
Other questions?
Jake stood up at that, giving a small smile. "No, that's about it sir. I'll let you get on with your day," he added, holding out his hand for a shake. "It was good to have a conversation again... been a while..."
Only over a year. >.>
