"Mhm," Ethan responded easily. "I think they'll love it. And you, too." He didn't think too much of it at the time, considering he had grown accustomed to the city for years. There wasn't crime everywhere, unless you went deep into the ghetto.
"Ethan," she shook her head hastily, "they're just little girls! And they... they're not even human. What if they get hurt?"
"They won't, Ivy! It's just ice cream. I swear they'll be fine. Don't worry about it." After spending several hard weeks overwhelmed with depression and war, surely those girls needed a little sweetness in their lives, even if it was something as small as a vanilla sundae.
"And what if something happens? What if someone sees you, Ethan? It's scary out there for girls like them!"
"The only one that seems to be scared is you, Ivy! They love the place. And as I said, they'll be fine. It's just ice cream, and we don't even have to stay."
Ethan had never lost his temper with Ivy, and almost instantly he tried to draw it back. He just didn't want Lia and the others to be unhappy. Being cooped up in one place just to be cooped up in another was far from healthy, and he did promise they wouldn't get hurt. Ethan wasn't breaking that.
She bit at her lip, "you don't understand my fear, Eth, not at all..."
"I do understand it, Ivy. But is it a little exaggerated? Yeah. We'll just get the ice cream and come right back. Simple."
