Cal chuckled as Zoe's ego inflated. He didn't even feel bad about inflating that ego...especially when he had meant it. He really did feel better...he was no where near 100%, but her words stuck in his brain and got him away from the cliff of depression.

Cal grinned as Zoe raked through flavors. [color=orange]"I'm thinking red velvet with a chocolate swirl and a glaze of some sort. Oh and sprinkles...definitly need sprinkles"[/color] he stopped walking when she did and tilted his head. His brain trying to register what she was talking about. [color=orange]"Your..what?"[/color] he blinked and the look of realization crossed his face as he shook his head. [color=orange]"No...no no. I wouldn't do that."[/color] he tilted his head. [color=orange]"I was just hoping we could hang out. Eat cake. That sort of thing."[/color] he rubbed the back of his neck and seemed to realize he was still in his upgraded suit. He raised up a finger for the hang on sign and sped off. He reappeared in casual clothes and put his hands in his pockets. [color=orange]"I did buy one of those homemade ice cream balls...the one that you're supposed to toss to people to make ice cream. Add ice cream to that cake or maybe root beer floats"[/color] he was rambling to try to avoid being awkward.

He gave a small smile and went to set up for cake making. He felt like Zoe was an awesome person...strong in the personality department...but he needed people around him who could smack him out of situations like the one he was in. That and right now...he really wanted to focus on having a semi good day of cake and ice cream making. [color=orange]"Need a taste tester...want to volunteer?"[/color]
