With the carton, bowls, and spoons and ready to go, Vas stepped up to the table, right where the carton was, and pulled the bowls over. Reaching for the scoop, another few people entered. Vas immediately smiled. "Welcome everyone! Please, take a seat! We're going to start with this flavor first." She started to scoop out the ice cream, distributing it between the bowls. The scoop wasn't huge, but it would be enough to at least get three or so spoonfuls. Vas always believed that you needed more than a single, small bite to really get a feel for the flavor. But she also didn't want everyone to get full off of the first flavor. As she portioned it out into bowls, she slid the bowls across the table to those seated, and also the empty seats for those that had just entered.
"Feel free to be totally open with your thoughts. We don't have a set recipe yet, hence why we're doing this. We want to figure out what does, and doesn't work," she started to explain. Vas loved feedback, good and bad. She also loved experimenting. And experimenting always had a great many failures. "You could say this is the starting point. The strongest taste should be the metallic of the blood, but it shouldn't be overpowering. I tried to make sure it was balanced and simple." You always had to start with the base ingredient. They'd get to some of the more complicated mixtures as the testing went on. She didn't want to overload their taste pallets on the first flavor!

ZENEVIEVA KNEW SHE HAD TO prepare for a night of teases along Daniel’s side. It was the bane of their friendship and time spent together, the older male cracking jokes and teases just to cheer up Zen or make herself feel better in relation to her stutter. But the Novell loved every moment of it. ”O-okay..” She murmured, following behind and mumbling out a soft thanks as he held the door for her. ”I don’t think…They’d use you as a flavour…” She whispered to him, somewhat clinging to his side until a shop owner of some sorts spoke out in their direction.
The woman mentioned they were soon beginning the flavour testings and Zen’s eyes slowly widened. She reached for Daniel’s hand, leading the two of them to a small rounded table near a few of the other people, sitting next to him to prepare for the flavour testing. ”Is it bad…I’m k-kind of scared about this?…” The Novell hadn’t exactly had her blood intake for the month, and since her special ability had appeared…Her need slowly increased too.

As Zen walked in she whispered about how she doubted they would use his blood as a flavor. “What? Am I not good enough to be used in ice cream now?” Daniel joked as no, he didn’t exactly want to have his own blood taken just for a flavor in ice cream. Still, the idea was funny for a moment. He just couldn’t imagine blood tasting good, it never had to him from the rare times he busted his lip or cut his mouth. Still it’s what vampires needed so it probably helps if they enjoyed it too. Same with part vampires he supposed.
Zen grabbed his hand and led them to a table. He didn’t fight it as he didn’t exactly mind. They sat near a few other people, vampires or part vampires he assumed and next to one another. Zen asked if it was bad she was scared about this. He assumed she meant the ice cream and he didn’t see what the big deal exactly was but he wasn’t going to say that if she was actually nervous about it. “That you might have a new favorite flavor of ice cream?” Daniel partially teased as he always did in the beginning then raised his hand up as if you show her he was still holding hers, “see, if things get too scary I’ll be here for you.”

AT DANIEL’S JOKE OF A question, Zenevieva found herself rolling her eyes. ”D-Did you want vampires t-to…have a taste t-then?…” She smiled over at him, flashing her tiny (pretty much non-existent) fangs at him. ”B-Because if you’re offering…I w-wouldn’t mind a taste…” Of course it was a joke, considering how often enough Zen would go on, talking of her hatred for consuming the bitter liquid. But since her discovery with her new power, the consumption for blood only grew each month, changing the usual works from a few drops a month to _a little more_ every two weeks or so.
Holding onto his hand ever so slightly, Zen gave it a soft squeeze in slight nervousness from the atmosphere. She felt the presence of other vampires amongst them, some like her and some complete and utter full-fledged vampires. Besides her own mother (and well Steve’s mom too), the Novell hadn’t really met any other ‘full’ vampires. So being around some put the blonde slightly on edge. ”Not that…” She smiled at his teasing, pushing some of her hair back behind her ear. ”T-Thank you…” She mumbled in a whisper. ”Just nervous on o-our…surroundings…”

Daniel had a small smirk as Zen asked him if he had some desire to be a snack for some vampire. Following it up with something he wasn’t expecting, she suggested she might want to try his blood. He figured Zen was just kidding but he was more than willing to play along. “I might be willing to be talking into it, as long as you pay the right price.” Daniel teased for a moment with a quick laugh. “I haven’t figured out my fee just yet but throw out a suggestion and we’ll see if I’m still interested.” The chances that blonde would give him a serious answer were very slim and even then Daniel was on the fence about selling his own blood. It was a weird thing to even think about but vampires had to get blood from somewhere he supposed.
Zen smiled as she explained her nervousness wasn’t about the ice cream but their surrounding. Assuming she meant being around other Demi and full vampires. Daniel hadn’t really thought about it much besides when he joked about it. He probably wasn’t the only regular human around but he was out numbered. Still he wasn’t worried. It wasn’t like vampires had to exactly fight over blood if they needed it. “It’ll be okay, if it gets to be too much we can just do something else.” Daniel suggested, if she ever did get too uncomfortably with their surrounding. “I’m the one that’s certainly outnumbered but as long as no one starts looking at me with hungry eyes I feel pretty safe.”

ZENEVIEVA HOPED DANIEL UNDERSTOOD WHAT she said was a joke. Sure, Daniel had crude and an odd sense of humour, but she hoped he knew she didn’t value his life so…low. The blonde actually cared about him. In fact he was one of the only few people in her life she actually cared for. Which was odd enough to admit. Yet, at his reply, Zen cracked a small smile, instantly realising he was playing along with her joke. So why not keep the joke going? Feeling confident enough, Zen reached over the table and squeezed Daniel’s hand. ”We could go on a-another…”
The Novell paused then, her stutter only flaring up now that she was suddenly nervous. Clearing her throat, Zen closed her eyes briefly before she continued. ”On another date…” Was this even classed as a date? They were friends…Right? They had gone on a Blishwick date before but that was only a date on…paper right? Unless? Zen’s brows furrowed as she quickly looked away, cheeks heating up in embarrassment. Her suggestion was a mixture of a joke and in seriousness, but blushing only made her situation a little more…complicated.
”You’d tell me if it gets too much right?…” Making Daniel comfortable was her top priority anyway and the event was for vampires of all kinds to test out the blood samples…She didn’t want Daniel to be creeped out from it.

Daniel just laughed as Zen suggested that they could go on another date, he assumed as her payment for his blood. It took her a little bit to get it out but she got there. Daniel hadn’t really thought this was a date. Not that he would mind it as he thought about. He liked Zen a lot but he figured this was just two friends going to get ice cream. It might have been her attempt at a joke but from the look she had as she looked away from him he highly doubted it. He was perfectly happy with calling this a date. It wouldn’t have been their first anyway between the Blishwick blind date and whatever the valentines dance had been. “As payment for my blood or just something you want to do? I’m open to both, obviously, but if it’s for my blood I expect to be wine and dined. Just because you get to bite my neck doesn't mean I don't want dinner too.”
Zen asked if he’d tell her if this all got to be too much for him as he commented about being outnumbered. At least compared to the number of vampires around. “Hmmm...” he thought about it with a smirk. “No, I wouldn’t actually. I want to see you try this ice cream now more than anything. Even my own safety.” Daniel explained as he was partially interested in how she would find the dessert. “What kind of date would it be if you didn’t what we came here for? Disappointing that’s what.”

BLUSHING AND SLIGHTLY LOOKING AWAY from him, Zen hoped she didn't creep Daniel out by referring to their time together in the little ice cream place as a date. Technically it wasn't, but considering it was just the two of them and the Novell grew to like Daniel a lot more in recent times...Well...Thinking of it like a date was a nice way to view it. She looked back up at him when Daniel said he was open to both options and the half-vampire's blush grew a little darker. Merlin, she was a wreck. "Just as...s-something I want to d-do..." This crush was gonna consume the poor Ravenclaw eventually. Though, Zen laughed as Daniel pushed forth another joke and she gently elbowed his arm, smiling up at him. "I wouldn't j-just...bite and leave you on your o-own.."
Watching his expression as he looked around, Zen feared that he would suddenly change up and be honest. Honest in a sense that the vampires did make him uncomfortable. But knowing Daniel, he was brave and funny and he proved the Novell right with his response. She nodded slowly, smiling a little wider when he said he wanted to see her try the ice cream and what kind of date would it be if she didn't. "Okay...But if things did...Get bad we're l-leaving first thing...okay?" She reached for his hand then and even gave it a little squeeze.

Zen confirmed that it wasn’t just as payment for his blood but another date was something that she actually wanted. He figured as much as he didn’t see her ever asking him for his blood. Not when vampires had other sources, much like the ice cream they were serving here today. “So what do you want to do next? Actually I think it’d be my turn to pick the next date.” Daniel asked before thinking that if this was their first date and she picked it than he needed to pick the next one. She elbowed him as she joked that she wouldn’t just take his blood and leave him. “Oh, so you have other plans for me after you get my blood?” Daniel teased with a small smirk.
Daniel just laughed as Zen explained if something did happen they would leave first thing. “Zen, I’m fine. If anything you’re more nervous about this than I could ever be.” Daniel didn’t have a problem where he was right now or the company. He just liked to joke but possibly he would need to be a little honest and joke a little less at his own expense if it meant Zen knowing is was fine and just teasing. “The only thing I’m nervous is all the strange looks I’ll get when I ask for chocolate instead of blood ice cream.”

ZEN KNEW SHE HADN'T BLUSHED this much since she was probably a child and her mother and father would play playful pranks on her like any random family. So when Daniel spoke again, questioning what she would want to do for next time, the Novell's lips thinned out, unsure of how to even phrase an answer. Each time Daniel referred to their next meeting as a date, Zen only avoided his gaze a little more. "I t-think that would be..b-best." Especially with her mind going all over the place, she couldn't think straight. As Daniel went on, Zen's smile rose, knowing that he was teasing her yet again. "Maybe I d-do, maybe I d-don't."
Daniel went on to say that the Novell was more nervous than him and while it was completely and utterly true, she knew she wouldn't admit it. "I'm always nervous.." She countered, smiling up at him. "Chocolate?.." She questioned, brow raising at him. "Out of all the flavours..You would ask for chocolate?.."

Daniel laughed for a moment as Zen said it would be for the best if he planned the next date. Rightly it was his turn to do so anyway. He would now have to actually think of something but that could wait til this one was finished first. As he joked about her having other plans for him aside from his blood Zen smiled, claim she may or may not. “Fine be mysterious about it. It’s a good look on you.” Daniel teased a small smirk following.
Zen claimed she was always nervous as Daniel said she was more nervous than him. “That’s very true.” He replied agreeing with her. It would have been a lie to not and an obvious one at that. “ The day you aren’t nervous about something will be a sight to see.” Zen questioned him on his choice of just getting chocolate ice cream, when they had all kinds of flavors to choose from. “You’re the one here to try some new flavor, I already know what kind of ice cream I like. I’ll save trying new flavors when it isn’t blood taste testing day.” Daniel explained, fine with his choice of ice cream.

THINKING HE WAS ABOUT TO tease her again, it came as a surprise to Zen when Daniel said mysterious was 'a good look' on her. As if her face didn't feel hot enough from being red and blushing like crazy. "Are y-you trying..t-to make m-me more s-shy?.." She smiled up at him then, eyes looking between him and the new flavours in the distance. As Daniel went on, saying the day Zen wouldn't be nervous would be something to see, only left the Novell with a wider smile. "M-Maybe...I won't be n-nervous all the time.." At least thats what she hoped for with Seventh Year rolling around soon.
"Chocolate...Is the worst flavour." She laughed, looking back at the other flavours again. "If its not...M-Mint chocolate..Vanilla..L-Lemon or even Cookies and Cream?...They're t-terrible."

Daniel laughed as Zen replied to him teasing her about being mysterious. “Maybe I just find both shy Zen and Mysterous Zen cute? So in the end you really can’t win either way.” Which wasn’t entirely a joke but he wasn’t about to let on to that in fear it actually did make her even more shy than before. If that was possible. Zen explained that maybe she wouldn’t always be so nervous. “When that day comes I’ll have to ask what you did with the real Zenevieva. She’s obviously been replaced.” Another joke but it would be a shock to just know a version of Zen that wouldn't be nervous of anything.
Zen said that chocolate was the worst flavor and Daniel was shocked. “Here I am, supporting you as you try some new vampire ice cream and I get so personally attacked for just liking chocolate.” Daniel feigned being hurt for a moment longer. “I’m really questioning that second date now. I’ll take you to a chocolate factory or something as a punishment for this attack.”

WITHOUT ZEN REALISING...SHE WAS blushing. Incredibly hard. She was the type to easily get embarrassed regardless of the compliment, which was always evident as a child whenever family friends would compliment how well she was growing. Regardless, Zen's eyes flickered down to her hands once more, playing with her fingers out of nervousness. "You...Think I'm cute?" She managed to ask without her little stutter. She couldn't help but laugh quietly at Daniel's joke. The real Zenevieva was still...her. She just expressed her feelings easier than before.
Mocking him for his choice of flavours only brought a wider smile to her lips. "K-Keep..going and I'll a-ask for you to be the flavour." She teased, nudging him lightly with her shoulder. "I...Like chocolate. Just n-not in ice c-cream.." The thought of a second date kept the Novell's blush going though, wondering how it would turn out.

June 12, 2025 Everything was ready for those who had volunteered themselves to try the blood ice cream, and they even got two more participants—one of whom Felix recognized as a younger Ravenclaw—through the door as Vas was preparing the ice cream to be scooped. She greeted them all, introducing the first flavor and scooping it. They had already given their taste-testers a bit of an introduction to the process, but it didn't hurt to repeat it. The first flavor, as Vas had mentioned before, was something a little bit more like a gelato than the typical ice cream. Felix noticed that Vas wasn't overloading anyone with massive scoops of the flavor, just enough that they would get a taste of it. Vas also reminded them that they could be totally honest with them about their thoughts on the flavor, at which Felix also nodded for emphasis. "You could say this is the starting point," added Vas. "The strongest taste should be the metallic of the blood, but it shouldn't be overpowering. I tried to make sure it was balanced and simple." Felix hung back and waited for the participants to begin tasting the ice cream. Since neither he nor Vas were vampires, getting thoughts on it from people who actually enjoyed the taste of blood was important. The two who had just walked in seemed more concerned with conversing than with trying their ice cream, but he didn't really want to interrupt them. After looking around a bit to check how folks were doing on their ice cream, he spoke, though. "Alright, everyone," Felix smiled, looking between the taste-testers and his older sister. "So… Any thoughts so far on this one?"vasilia abigail fortescue @thursday rose harriet granger-weasley @crimson1 zenevieva mira novell @cecelia
