He stood there awkwardly and decided to find a place for the ice cream in the mini fridge while he waited for her to come back.

"These are collectibles. They each have their own name and backstory. The purple octopus's name is Violet. I used to have the same one."
That was news to him. These were collectibles? Did that mean she collected them? Would she be happy if he bought a bunch of these things? He was sure he would be able to find some online.
