"In the early eighties there was a lot of conflict among ice cream van operators in Glasgow," he starts after a pause to visibly relish in all of the sugary goodness, eyes closing briefly and everything. Food and him have a very, very loving relationship. Especially food that in the end isn't all that good for you.
"It mostly had to do with territory. It was all very violent, with raids and shootings of rivalling vans."
Another small moment of silence, but this time it's with a slightly faraway look out the small window. The moon isn't visible on this end so it's still fairly dark.
"No one was harmed until April 1984 when the situation culminated in arson, resulting in the death of six. Excessive for ice cream vendors - it turns out their business was a front for drug trafficking."
And that's the story, really. He gives her a small humourless smile before he resumes picking at his ice cream.
