At the Fair (Dual-pup Post - OTA)

[seeherwheniwake]

Fantine hadn't meant to come to the fair. She had nobody to go with, and going to such things alone seemed...sad in a way. But the music had drawn her in, and the happy sounds of children laughing. She did not begrudge the young lovers as she saw them walking arm in arm along the fairway. She had known that feeling, of being on the top of the world

Olore and I were going to go for a quiet walk in the park, but the village decided that wasn't going to happen. We skirted around the commotion, but Olore was unhappy with the noise and I had to take him home. It was all so strange that I've decided to come back.

It is very loud, colourful, and the food smells very strange. There are machines that are obvious amusements, but I do not see the pleasure in going around very quickly. Now, the circle in the air is slower and I wonder what the village looks like from up there. I am so foolish--I've seen it from the top of the hotel. But this is in the park.

"This's great, the fair. Just what I needed after workin' so hard the past few weeks. Something fun and mindless."

Her eyes twinkled.

Giant spinning tea cups, of course. I don't imagine she'll be wanting tea.

"This is not like any fair I've ever imagined." Though I suppose I have read about such things, I just couldn't picture it.

"We can try. I smelled food, but didn't really look at it." Perhaps she already has. "What do you mean by weird?"

"Well...they have fried coke. Ain't coke a drink? And fried snicker bars. And corn wrapped in shiny foil and baked. And all sorts of delicious smelling pastries. I got dizzy just walkin' through there and smellin' it all. Wanna join me? It'd be great to have company."
