Echo was still surveying the little shop, noting the paintings on the side wall, when Nelson grabbed his hand, startling him.

“Come on!” he said, pulling him toward the front counter, “You’re going to love this!”

The pair stopped in front of the glass window of the ice cream freezer, the colorful treats on full display within.

“Alright, which flavor do you want, Echo?” Nelson asked, clearly excited to introduce his new friend to the wonder of ice cream.

“Whoa there, Nelson,” a kindly voice said, “Why don’t you give your friend here a minute to decide,”

Echo looked up from the cartons of ice cream to see a large man behind the counter, wearing a yellow apron and hat.

He gave Echo a friendly smile, “It’s alright, son, take all the time you need,”

(In the process of giving Echo a new friend and an adventure in the city, I also ended up creating Mr. Randy, one of the workers at the Dairy Dragon. He's like that wholesome, middle-aged uncle that calls everyone "son" and "buddy" and "buckaroo." Sometimes, the OCs happen when you're not even trying.)
