After she had spotted an island resident with that signature red wrapper, Eleanor had asked excitedly where to find the treat. "At the gas station," they had replied as they took a bite. "Cooler by the register."

"Thank you!" Eleanor waved as she turned and jogged towards the main strip where the gas station was. She had been craving a strawberry shortcake bar since the beginning of summer, but the shop in her town didn't stock them, and it wasn't quite worth driving all the way into the city just to find. But if they were here on the island, her waiting would be over.

The little gas station was busy. With all the kruisers stranded here making things work, the small buildings seemed even smaller. Eleanor, though, was used to a little crowd. She deftly navigated the narrow rows of the gas station convenience store until she found the registers. Sure enough, the cooler held just a few more strawberry shortcake bars. The line to pay, however, was a mile long. Should she take a bar and wait in line, melting be darned? Or should she risk leaving it up there while she waited in line, getting it at the last second for maximum chill?

The choice was tough, but ultimately, Eleanor decided she was willing to take the risk. At least for a little while. While she stood in line, she watched the cooler like a hawk. If anyone showed interest in it, she prepared herself to ask them to pass her a strawberry shortcake bar, but most kalons went for the choco tacos or character-face, gumball-eyed treats. Thankfully, as she stepped up to line, she retrieved a strawberry shortcake bar from the cooler and placed it on the counter. "Just this please," she told the clerk, who nodded and rung her up quickly.

Eleanor left with her treat in paw, elated at the find and the pay-off of the risk. Now to enjoy it on the dock.

what is their favorite island treat and why?

Sweet treats? Now you're taking in a language Antheia understands! Who can resist a deliciously sugary queen cake, after all, or a cool and colourful popsicle? A doughnut frosted with a thousand sprinkles; rice pudding with strawberries packed in the middle.
Of everything, though, Antheia's favourite has to be jam tarts.
A rich sweet strawberry jam, or perhaps some wonderfully bitter apricots instead. A perfectly baked crust, thin enough to not be overwhelming but thick enough to hold the jam in and make an impact. And then the amount of jam itself - just below the rim but spread thick and deep, leaving no room for air bubbles to take away the fullness of her treat.
She first tried them when she was only a kit and her best friend packed one for lunch and shared it with her in school. She begged her mother for one when she went home, and then every Monday got one for her lunch to enjoy.
When she left home for the quieter life it was jam tarts that she went to comfort herself. Not exactly healthy but a taste of home that helped her get through tough phases of her travels. She's tried them from all over, all types - raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, gooseberry, cherry, apricot, apple, orange. You name a fruit and she's tried it with a jam tart, no exceptions. If you ever need to cheer her up just present her with one - cheap store-bought or lovingly hand-baked, either will do.
(Though hand-baked is certainly preferred.)
