No one was more surprised at how well the show had gone than the Ace Cadet. He gave a quick wave to the crowd as Sierra shouted he and Frisk out, and then the hunter was content to retreat to the far side of the fountain. The little heating device that All-Round provided did wonders for recovering from the cold, so while Sierra entertained some questions from eager fans the Cadet sat back, warmed up, and hummed lightly.

[color=salmon]"Snow idea how we pulled it off, but that was fun,"[/color] he said to Frisk. His nose and cheeks had turned red from the cold, but a grin was on his face all the same. He'd have to remember to tell Nadia all about his new budding career as a Spheal trainer. Once the last of the audience kids shuffled away, the Cadet stood up to rejoin Band, Red, and Lucia at Sierra's transport van.

It was great to hear everything went smoothly. Hopefully the success of their little detour was indicative of things to come in Magicapolis.

Then came the issue of payment. While it had slipped the Cadet's mind while he was focusing on the Spheals and the show, some hard earned money would feel pretty good right about now. Sierra mentioned another representative for the foundation she worked for would be mostly in charge of that, and the woman in question showed up right on time. Pleasantries were exchanged, and then Wicke mentioned there was a little more that had to be done ebfore they got paid. Well, specifically she said "write your checks," and though he didn't know the expression the Cadet figured it was the same thing.

She also mentioned treated them to some hot drinks, and how could they refuse? The hunter ravenous appetite had also made a reappearance, and coupled with the cold the offer was very much appreciated. [color=salmon]"That sounds gargwawesome."[/color]

So they all climbed into the van, the trip not taking very long at all. The Ace Cadet waved to Sierra as she drove off, and followed everyone else into the shop. The inside smelled [i]delicious[/i], a smorgasbord of sweets on offer. The proprietress, or who the Cadet assumed to be the proprietress, was behind the counter and working on making some pastries. The Cadet would have gladly purchased the majority of her stock, if only she hadn't been making them with her magic. He sadly turned his head away from the display cases, a shame since they look so good. 

Instead he returned his attention to Wicke as the group found a couple of tables to pull together. Wonder Red went ahead and asked the question that the Cadet had been considering since the end of the show when Sierra explained why they had needed security just in case. She'd mentioned shelters, which implied that they took in animals. Wasn't that a good thing? [color=salmon]"I'm curious too. I don't know who would have an issue with helping little critters like that."[/color]
