Ivee yawned, "Excuse me" she appologized politely, "I've got to get used to early wake-ups" she smiled. Her phone started to buzz in her pocket, she answered it, then growled, annoyed. "Stupid tella-marketers" she muttered, amused.

"Yeah... telemarketers can get bothersome at times..." The bear stated.

Ivee nodded, "I agree, but disagree with the 'Sometimes' part. I think the word you Meant to use is always" She smiled.

The bear chuckled.

"Well to the general public, yeah, telemarketers are always annoying, but for someone who works at Wall Street like me, I would have never have found as many reliable businesses to help give investment recommendations to if it weren't for some of those telemarketers." The bear admitted.

Ivee shrugged thoughtfully, "I didn't look at it that way, I guess you're right" She smiled, picking up the bear's order and placing it in front of him.

"Thanks... I definitely needed this..." The bear said.

The doors to the parlor swung open and in strode Ivee's ex. "How can I help you toda-" she stopped mid-sentence. "What do you want?" she asked coldly.

Kobahrn gave Ivee's ex a peculiar look.

"Why did you quit your old job to work at a sleezy parlor that pays minimum wage and the workers are all obese?" He asked rudely.

"They pay way more than minimum wage. And the kind folks who work here are my best friends. And there is no parlor nicer than this one" Ivee retorted, angry.

Kobahrn shook his head.

"Sleazy? Look around you. Does this place look like every other sleazy ice cream parlor to you? And I don't think I saw you complaining about how low-quality the protein shake I gave you tasted yesterday. What makes you think that this ice cream parlor is sleazy?" Kobahrn asked Ivee's ex, more in a tone of curiosity than offense. Kobahrn had been right on all accounts, for the parlor was far different from any other commonplace parlor in its decor, not to mention tidy and clean, and the products that sold were top notch quality, which was sold at a far more reasonable price than other high quality parlors.
