Meanwhile, Ankh wasn't so much watching them as discovering something on the network that said 'free ice cream' and thus at least briefly had far more of his attention. He did hear them talking, and the surprised sound when the girl looked up at him, which prompted him to look back down at her. "Huh?" The sound was less surprise at being noticed and more 'what do you want?'
