[Dear lord there's a lot to process in that whirlwind of speech. He manages to catch some of it - Grandpa Aang, newly declared sisters, Katara giving him the go-ahead to spoil Ikki rotten - but really, what takes precedence in his mind is that he's about to send two hyper little girls on a sugar high.
His life choices.]
It's a pleasure to meet you, Ikki-chan~! [He sends a silent prayer the Avatar House's way.] And sisters? That is something to celebrate then~ [He grins back at them] Well then, what type of cake would you ladies like?
[Vivi turns to Ikki to field that one; after all, she was the one who came up with the great cake title in the first place, and besides...Vivi can't quite remember how it goes.]
[ He was so nice. That's what Ikki had thought of all the other people from their world she'd met so far, and she wasn't disappointed here, either. Plus, Sanji understood the importance of their celebration! Ikki does remember the cake title, luckily! ] The Super Celebratory Sister Surprise!!
[ She says this very proudly and expectantly. ...Apparently it's up to Sanji to figure out what they mean by that. ]
Right this way~! [He leads them to a booth, hoping that maybe it will be enough to cage off the rest of the restaurant from their combined enthusiasm.]
Now, before I get your cake, do you two need anything to drink? [Treating them like proper customers here]
[He's trying not to grin stupidly, he really is, but... ugh too cute. He's going to disintegrate from their combined adorableness before they get that cake]
Two fizzy lemonades with ice cubes coming right up, then~! [After a small, humble bow, he walks off for the kitchen.]
[ooc: You guys can thread for a bit before Sanji returns o/]
[ Ikki crosses her arms on the table, leaning in as well. The seriousness of this pose is ruined by a smile and the fact that she's kicking her dangling legs, just a little and not hard. ]
He is! And he knew what the Super Celebratory Sister Surprise was! And it's really swirly! How'd it grow like that? [ Of course, Vivi has blue hair and Zoro has green hair...but those things seem normal in comparison to the swirly eyebrow. ]
[Vivi shakes her head.] Maybe we should ask him. Maybe he grows it like that on purpose! [Vivi touches the end of her own eyebrow, trying to figure out if it's possible to encourage it to grow in another direction.]
[She kicks her feet a little as well, too excited to sit still.] What do you think the Super Celebratory Sister Surprise is? [She's picturing and enormous tiered cake, piled high with swirls of frosting and artfully arranged candied almonds.]
[ The action is mirrored by Ikki, who touches both of her eyebrows, wondering if you just will it to happen or what. ] Maybe he eats lots of swirly foods? [ ...it seems as logical as anything else. ]
Oh! We-ell! [ Good question! Ikki's trying to figure out what it might be, too. It has to be something amazing. ] Maybe one of those huuuuuuuge layer cakes with all the colours and confetti and pretty frosting flowers and chocolate!
[Vivi ponders that.] What kinds of foods are swirly? Um. Some noodles, I guess. And cinnamon rolls! [She picks up her spoon, tapping it thoughtfully against her palm.]
[Ikki's cake description gets her imagination going in another direction.] Oooh! And maybe two candy sisters on the top of it, like on a wedding cake! And...candles!
Onions? [ They have...rings. Hmmm. This is tough. ]
And sparklers! [ The mental picture of the cake gets more and more complex as Vivi speaks, and Ikki has to add her own flair, too. ] And the candy sisters will be holding hands!
[Random aside, but Sanji's eyebrow was itching the entire time he was in the kitchen. Wonder what that's about. B|
In any case the man returns with a tray and two tall, neat glasses of sparkling lemonade, each garnished with a lemon and a strawberry, which he then places in front of the children]
Thank you, Sanji! [ Ikki echoes Vivi's thanks, having clapped when the lemonade appeared, so pretty and adult looking. It was like they really were customers - which, of course, Ikki thought they were. ]
[ She took a sip of the lemonade before taking the strawberry out, and nodded eagerly. ] This is really good! It - fizzes!
[Well, what the cake doesn't have is two wax figures holding hands. Sorry girls, even Sanji isn't that much of a miracle worker.
As for what it does have? Sprinkles. Plenty of them. Every shade of the rainbow, even. And Sanji shamelessly put his best decorations on display, the cake meticulously littered with tiny designs. Upon closer inspection, the girls might notice they're flowers made of frosting.
But really, all that pales to what's inside the two-layered cake, and Sanji isn't about to ruin the surprise. Instead he places the cake on top the table, bringing attention to the candles he situated there] I figured since this was a celebration, you two should at least make a wish!
[Vivi gasps when he brings in the cake. Even lacking the hand-holding sisters cake topper, it looks amazing. She exchanges a giddy glance with Ikki, then turns back to Sanji, clapping her hands together in delight.] It's sooo pretty! Thank you, Sanji!
[Oh, and what's this? He even put on candles so they could make a wish? Vivi turns back to Ikki.] Should we wish the same thing and share it?

Sanji, where should we sit? [It's a restaurant, so he's supposed to show them to their table, right?]

Can I have a fizzy lemonade, please? [That seems like a sufficiently celebratory drink.]

Fizzy lemonade? Oooh, Ikki's never had that. ] Me too, please! With ice cubes! [ Because. Ice. ]
