The teenage server smiled at their interaction. "What can I get for you two?"
"Vanilla and chocolate!" Emily pressed her face against the display glass, then spun to look at Noah. "In a cone!"
"Same for me," Noah said, watching his sister's eyes light up.
"You got the same as me!" Emily bounced excitedly. "We match!"
The server started scooping their ice cream, and Emily tugged at Noah's sleeve. "Is it because dragon riders have to match?"
"Exactly." Noah's phone buzzed – more chaos in the pharmaceutical world. He ignored it.
"Two vanilla and chocolate cones," the server announced, handing them over.
They grabbed a table by the window, Emily immediately diving into her ice cream with the enthusiasm only an eight-year-old could muster.
"Noah! Look!" She pointed at their identical cones. "We're like twins!"
"Except one of us is way shorter."
