Ice Bear merely nudges the container close to Red. Hopefully he has a way to explain or lie about where these treats came from when he goes back to Washington, if he even takes the gift back with him.

"...Ice Bear will work on that recipe next. Red should stop by the cafe in the mornings to try it out." The thought of wandering Paris is something Ice has thought about before, for sightseeing and cooking alike. Travel in general is something the ursine lacks in comparison to Red's globe-trotting business.

"Have you ever been disappointed in a place?" His ears wiggle in curiosity. "Tell Ice Bear about some of these places."
