"I didn't say." Ivory responded quietly, turning her head as a silvery glow enveloped her horn and various scooping tools began to move about the inside of the stall, "But judging by what you had for lunch today, I-I think s-sunflower and sherbert will be right up y-your alley, so to s-speak.." She mentioned.
Whisking spoons and a bowl up to the sherbert shelf, she picked the orange sherbert and scooped some out to fill half the bowl nicely. She was sure to get the nice swirls in and through it, so the art she'd make of it would be really very nice. Following that, she turned her head the other way, and whisked the bowl and a fresh spoon to the 'floral flavors' shelves, scooping out enough sunflower swirl to fill the other side of the bowl.
After that, she used her hooves manually to crunch up an ice cream cone, sprinkled the crushed wafer bits down the crevice in the middle, and finally, she took up her plastic sculpting tool, which looked much like a dull scalpel with a slightly curved tip, going to work in sculpting it out for him.
"It sh-should be ready in j-just a minute.." She whispered quietly under her breath whilst concentrating.

"Sure thing." Starling yawned quietly as he waited. Sitting down and closing his eyes in the warm sunlight. He relaxed for a few moments and before he noticed it, dozed off. He could barely see in the darkness. There was fire and decay all around him, flaming wings greeted him like a valued friend. No... it was more than a friend... But he had to, for the safety of Equestria. Suddenly he was on top of a cloud, as soft as cotton candy, basking in the warm sunlight.
He opened his eyes and noticed he had apparently lied down, eyes still drooping yet a sense of panic creeping on to him when he realized he fell asleep in public, Starling got to his feet. He had no idea how long he was sleeping for and looked around to see if Ivory was done making his ice cream.

Admittedly, it did take her slightly longer to sculpt the ice-cream than normally. Of course this was mostly due to nervousness and the grand desire to get it perfect for him, aaaand then it was also because he had /already/ dosed off, and she saw no harm in working more slowly to ensure this perfection.
By the time he woke up from his nap however, and looked up to see if Ivory Flash was done or not, he would see that not only was it a large bowl of the afforementioned flavor of icecream but it was a beautifully sculpted scene. An entire scene, not just a figure.
Ice cream pillars sculpted into drooping, vine-covered jungle trees. A centered pillar had been lovingly sculpted into Starling himself, complete with flowing cloak and a toothpick 'blade' stabbed into the ground beside him. He stared vigilantly into the distance, the thick jungle around him clearly made to be the Everfree Forest, the best thing she could think of at the moment. A bit of irony, considering how long he'd been in there, she thought.
So it was, the bowl rest there, surrounded by a frosty white glow, the same which enveloped Ivory's horn as she rest her head on the counter, blinking tiredly as she had been waiting for him to awaken, keeping the ice cream sculpture cooled the entire time so it wouldn't melt on a day like this.

"Sorry about that." Starling chuckled, taking the ice cream and letting out a frustrated sigh. "Well I can't eat this, it's too pretty. Who's that pony there?" He asked, pointing a hoof at the miniature version of himself, a fact he was unaware of so far. Feeling still a bit embarrassed for his snoozing. He still felt tired, but wasn't going to show it to the mare, far as he could help it anyway.
"How long was I asleep anyway? It must have taken you hours to make this."

"O-Oh, not long!" Ivory Flash mentioned with a nervous giggle, lifting a hoof to rub the tired from her eyes, "Just a few minutes, really.." She then murmured.
When he made mention of the ice cream being too pretty, and not being able to eat it, her ears folded back against her head, dismayed he felt that way. When he asked who it was, she glanced downward and murmured quietly, "Oh.. Tha-- That's y-you. I'm sorry it's inedible.." She practically whispered.

"Oh no, it's edible, it's just so beautiful. You're very talented Ivory." Starling said, chomping the entire ice cream with one hungry bite, and then immediately grasping the sides of his head as the brain freeze paralyzed him. "Oh shoot! I forgot about these!" He groaned, shaking his head. Ice cream was a treat, he was not supposed to just bite it off. He hoped this memory deficiency would pass soon.
It took him several moments before the pain finally died down, and with a loud snort he began chuckling at his own silliness. Way to impress a mare, Starling. After all was done he surveyed Ivory carefully.
"Just a question, why'd you put me in such a... heroic position?"

"Oh! Oh dear-- Pr--Press your tongue against the roof of y-your mouth!" Ivory gasped, gawking in awe after he had gulped the whole thing down whole. Holy cow, she'd never seen anybody do that before! Luckily, she'd dealt with many brain-freezes since she started the booth, and pressing one's tongue to the roof of their mouth was an instant cure.
After a moment, however, her cheeks tinted a dark red, and she lifted a hoof to cover her smile as she began to giggle. The look on his face was priceless.. It was funny!
"Aha--" She gasped, turning her head to hide her face as it continued to turn beet red, "I'm s-sorry for lau--haha--laughing, there's nothing funny a-about an ice-cream headache!" She pressed her hoof to her mouth, silencing her bubbly giggles.
When a moment later he asked her why she had posed him how she did, she shook her head softly and rubbed her hooves against her cheeks to try and dissipate the red - She'd stopped laughing by now, for the most part, and smiled sheepishly, "W-Was it t-too much? Whenever I would r-read or hear of your exploits in the forest, that's.. just how I would picture you! I'm s-sorry -- It is a bit silly, isn't it?"

"Ah, it's not all that heroic really." Starling said with a soft chuckle. "It's mostly mucking about in the... well, muck." Deciding enough was enough, as much as he enjoyed this mare's company, Starling got to his hooves. "Well, I really should be going. I still need to repair my armor and work on my reports for the Princess. But I'll be looking forwards to our walk." He quickly leaned in and gave her a peck on each cheek as the Northern Barrens custom dictates, and after that he turned on his tail and with a last wave, headed off back to Ranger's place.

Emotions drained from her face as quickly as the color did (not to be ironic!) as she was pecked upon her cheeks. Clearly she didn't know barren customs, as the next moment she toppled backwards, fainting onto her cushy pillow as her hoof knocked the lever by accident and slammed the shutters of the booth shut. She was going to be one cold pony when she woke up..
