Vieri liked chocolate ice cream. There wasn’t much sweet chocolate back in Florence, but it seemed to have been an flavor that’d taken the information age by storm. Consistently, it was one of the few things that was actually tolerable. They’d gotten good at it without all those weird lab chemicals or bad plant dirt or whatever else they used to produce their shit food. He took the offered cone with a thankful nod and neutral, moderately relaxed not-frown and settled against the wooden bar.

For once, everything was settling down with hardly a fight at all. A little bit of magic had been thrown around and one guy needed an ambulance, but that was the worst of it. There hadn’t even been any shouting. Angry shouting; that was besides Frosty’s grandstanding. His first thought was to take it as a sign that their reputation had grown enough that mages didn’t think something like kicking mundanes off a beach was worth getting their skull crushed in over, but it was likely just the two mages who showed didn’t think it worth getting their skulls crushed in, other Isabellos or not. Exactly contrary to what Diana usually seemed to enjoy most of of mages, the flashy, ability-testing mage fight had been replaced with the equivalent of a shrug. He couldn’t help but wonder if Diana was disappointed.

He glanced at her as he settled more of his weight against the bar, going ahead and knocking a pen and coin jar off of where he wanted his elbows to go. “If it’s a fight you want, once the beach finishes clearing out for Frosty I’ll take you.”

Like she was actually going to let him pay for his ice cream. This was their beach now, what kind of moron did something like that in their own territory? Fortunately, he was way too slow about it, so she could just grab whatever ice cream and throw it at his face. She hoped he was good at catching objects being thrown at him because that would just be a waste of ice cream otherwise.

"What, you didn't shove your new powers in their face the second you got them?" Diana raised an eyebrow. "Why? Magic is great."

That was more or less the first thing she did when she got her powers. At least, she was pretty sure the people she pushed around once she was able to were her family. It's not like she remembered what they looked like after all that time, so it was hard to say for sure, but that hardly mattered. The point was everyone knew immediately and she made no effort to hide it. Diana didn't see the point. What was there to be afraid of?

Such discussions weren't what she was here for though and there were far more important things to worry about. Losing out on a fight because Tristan was a wuss was disappointing, but was still also not what she was here for, and knowing him, she figured he could absolutely get behind what she was here for. Diana trotted up next to Vieri again and gave him a moment to eat at least a good chunk of his ice cream. Yes, because she was here to do nothing of particular importance with him and focusing on other matters was just a waste.

"Hey Vieri think fast!"

After that, she kicked him in the back and tried to send him flying a short distance into the ocean. She fully expected retaliation, it was half the point of doing it really. Enough with all this pouting going on, it was time to get the party started.
