Summary: Selmak's first ice cream!
Jacob sat in the commissary with Sam. “Is this a good idea?” he asked.
“Is what a good idea?” Sam asked. “Eating or letting the Colonel choose the food.”
“The latter,” Jacob said. “Although gating out on a full stomach isn't recommended either.”
Jack put the tray down. “Which is why we're just snacking,” he said, “I can't gate out on a totally empty stomach and I know how much Sam loves ice cream.” He put the bowls in front of everyone and then sat down with his own.
Jacob looked at the bowl of vanilla ice cream and picked up the spoon. “Thank you.”
Jack smiled. “Welcome.”
Sam took the chocolate flake out of hers and ate it first.
Jacob put a small bit of the ice cream on the spoon. <Here Sel, you eat it> he said wickedly pushing her fore.
Selmak sat there for a moment. <Okay… why?>
<Because you've never tried this before and I think you should.>
Jack looked over. “Jacob? Something wrong?”
Selmak shook her head. “Jacob is fine, as I am thank you Colonel.” She looked at the ice cream again and at Sam. “So do I eat the chocolate first?”
Jack laughed. “First ice cream huh?”
Selmak nodded.
“Then yes you eat the chocolate first, slowly. Then you eat the ice cream.” Jack watched with a grin as Selmak ate the chocolate fast. “You like chocolate then?”
Selmak nodded. “Yes, very much.” She took a huge spoon of the ice cream and slid it into her mouth biting down on it. Her eyes widened as the cold flooded her. Her hand flew to her mouth. <JAY-COB!>
Jacob laughed. <What's up Sel?>
<BRAT! You could have warned me!>
<And spoilt your reaction?>
Jack couldn't help but laugh. “Something wrong?”
Selmak struggled to swallow her mouthful. “It is cold,” she managed.
Jack laughed harder. “That would be why it's called ICE cream,” he said helpfully. “If it's any consolation the second mouthful is nicer.”
“Hmmm” Selmak huffed. “Do you do this to all your visitors?”
Jack cast a sidelong look at Sam. “Only those related to my 2IC,” he said.
Selmak took another mouthful, wrinkling her nose up. “Does it just come in white?” she asked.
Sam shook her head. “In other colours too,” she said. “There's brown, green, pink, orange…”
“Do they have them here?”
Jack shook his head. “No, but the ice cream parlour in town does. And several more besides.”
Selmak smiled. “Then perhaps we can go visit when we get back from the mission?” she asked hopefully.
Jack nodded. “I'm sure we can. So I take it the ice cream is a hit then?”
Selmak nodded and finished the bowl. “Oh yes,” she said wondering if she could take some back to the tunnels with her.
