For the record, Sage got plenty of sunlight and fresh air since she preferred the outdoors and climbed just about anything that could be climbed. Her favorite spot, as she had discovered this summer, was climbing the drain pipes along Sugarplum's and sitting on one of the ledges adjacent to one of the ventilation pipe things sticking out of the roof, one right over where all the sugar was melted and the sweet fumes billowed out like lofty candyfloss. She thought about heading that direction, but instead found herself heading towards this side of the Alley - perhaps taking the suggestion to take a walk to a bit of a petty extreme even though she really was not feeling all that petty.

With a bit of coin leftover from her remaining school shopping, Sage made her way to the ice cream parlor with the age old question of what to go with. She couldn't decide between two flavors, but she couldn't just get one scoop of each and would have to get two scoops of each unless she wanted to experience her skin going all tingly and herself avoid every crack in the ground until she was safely back home. Nothing against cracks, of course, but everything against unbalanced vibes. She eventually settled on a double scoop of rocky road, in a cup, and was half skipping her way from the counter to look for somewhere to sit when she spotted a girl who looked around her age lugging around a whole cauldron full of supplies. A cute rookie move, the sort of thing she usually expected from first years but...

"You sure you don't already have everything in there?" she chuckled playfully while wiggling her spoon at all the stuff.

My word, Florean's made the most delicious ice cream! Just the right amount of sweetness, the perfect ratio of strawberries to clotted cream. It was now her favourite ice cream parlour.. This included the fancy Cornish ice cream which had become a staple in her diet of late. Visiting the new family in St Ives and making her way down the hill into the harbour to treat herself whenever she got the chance.

She was lost in her own world, taking her time over her dessert, enjoying every spoonful and letting it melt in her mouth. She was snapped out of her little dreamworld, however, when out of nowhere, a girl suddenly started teasing her. Her gaze went from the girl with the wiggly spoon, to her cauldron, to her post-it on the table--which she'd somehow managed to cram her entire supply list onto in her tiny, untidy writing—and back to the girl. Her cheeks pinked ever so slightly, but she laughed gently. Admittedly, it looked like she had the whole Diagon Alley stuffed inside the cauldron. “Oh I wish.” She replied breezily. “New girl in school means I have to get everything. It's like being a first year.”

She gestured for the girl to come and join her. She might as well get to know another, what she assumed, was a Hogwarts student, and another of around the same age as her.

“So I've got to come back again in a few days and get the rest.” Minus the cauldron. “Have you finished your shopping?”
