"That kinda defeats the purpose," Rude said as he turned around and handed Reno his treat after dealing with the payment. He made a point of emphasizing the idea with the thrust of the popsicle as he said the words. Coffee was hot. It seemed out of place right after a cool treat.

As requested, Rude handed Reno a popsicle with the 'Dragon Scale' flavor. It looked as cool as the name, sporting scale patterned shape down its length and two little wings on the sides.

Rude, meanwhile, had something a little plainer looking though the exact flavor was indeterminable from the look and color of the little treat he held.
