Because I've already gotten to have ice cream twice.
[yes, his logic really and truly is this simple. sure, stahn could easily eat more; it's delicious and they haven't had supper yet, so his stomach has plenty of room to be filled. but it's just not that important to him, not in the least.
wouldn't it be selfish to have a third ice cream? leon had missed his chance last time, and this is stahn's effort to compensate for his own failing to keep a promise. the fact that he'd finished the one they just had (with that subdued enjoyment) is enough for stahn to know that giving him a chance to have another, maybe on his own time when he has the chance, is a good idea.]
We'll be even that way. There's no expiration on it either, I asked when I bought the other ones! So just hold on to it for another time. [this is just what friends do, okay. selfless gestures because they care for the other person. it's not like this is any sort of inconvenience to stahn—he wants leon to have it. if there's one thing that's true, it's that stahn is unfailing in his effort to make nice.]
