Today, Stark sits at the bar enjoying something entirely new to him again.

He has frosting on his fingers and mouth, as he has been eating some chocolate-frosted cupcakes in a rather uncivilized manner.

"Sugar, sugar!" he says, nearly enraptured in glee. "Why did Crichton not talk more of this?"

Will is doing much better and grins at Stark,

"'ave ye tried the chocolate sundaes, sir?"

"Sundaes?" Stark says, turning his head to see the newcomer.

"Aye, sir, tis ice cream covered with lovely things. Lady Bar, could I get two chocolate sundaes?"

Two impressive sundaes dripping with hot chocolate, nuts and whipped cream appear.

"What is this Eye's cream?" Stark says, tilting his head at the sundaes that appeared.

"Tis milk that's been chilled an mixed with sugar an such I think, sir."

"Humans certainly seem to enjoy their animal lactation," Stark says.

"Why aye, sir, tis tasty. Are ye na 'uman then?"

"No," Stark says, wiping his fingers on the bar. "I am Stark, a Banik."

"I'm Will Scarlett, sir, dinna think I've seen ye round 'ere 'fore."

"No, no," Stark says. "I have only recently come to this amazing place."

"Oh aye, tis quite 'mazin', sir. Should be eatin' the ice cream 'fore it melts too much."

Will's already been eating his since its really good.

"Yes, of course, course," Stark says, picking up his spoon.

Unfortunately for Stark, Will did not warn him about ice cream headaches. So when he eats with a little too much vigor, he ends up crying out and clutching his head.

Will grins into his ice cream,

"Careful o'the cold, sir."

"Why does it do that?" Stark whimpers.

"I'm na sure, sir, just does. Ne'er 'ad it 'fore comin' 'ere anyways."

Stark whimpers a little more. After a moment, he goes back to eating his ice cream, slowly.

"It is an interesting mix of flavors and textures."

"Oh aye, sir an comes in loads o'different flavors too."

"Much like the cereal," Stark says. "So many, many variations on this sugar."

"Cereal, sir, 'avena tried much o'that."

"You have not?" Stark says. He fiddles with the spoon for a moment, staring at his reflection in it. "Did your mother also forbid you from it?"

"Oh nay, sir, na at all. I'm just from an earlier time so different sorts o'sweets is all. More pastry an 'rhaps porridge with fruit an syrup in it as a treat."

"You are from a more primitive Earth?" Stark says, snickering.

He thought Earth was pretty primitive to begin with.

Will's quiet and eats, the snickering is rude but well he knows his time is earlier than many here,

"Just an earlier time is all, sir."

"Yet you seem quite familiar with this advanced technology," Stark says. "Your species is so adaptive."

"Been findin' door 'ere for 'bout a year, sir, do me best."
