The summer months here were ending. If there was any time to be going to the fair, it was now, and who could say that they had gone to a carnival in another world? The answer: not many at all. But Rain would be missing his chance soon if he didn’t make the time to hop aboard the bus one weekend and take the ride out to the fairgrounds early-ish in the day, while the weather was still welcoming and the flags on the big tops fluttered in a balmy breeze

"I'd miss my voice too much to be a mime. My voice might miss me, too." The friendly return, the way the other man simply smiled and waved had the exorcist's day brightening up just that much more as well-- most people ignored him if they didn't have kids, and if they did, the children usually hid behind a grudgingly smiling and truly impatient parent (or an over-enthusiastic one, and Allen couldn't decide which one was better) while he coaxed out a few choice answers- where are you going today? are you enjoying it? will you see the elephants? they'd like to see you!- and then left them to move on, oftentimes ending up being the one smiling and waving at the end as well as the beginning

alluva sudden my replies get so very short XD;;;

“...Yeah," Despite himself, Rain looks around the carnival grounds again before answering, “I am. Thanks.”

His inflection suggests he is more content than happy-- making the best of things, as it were. Rain studies the clown a little more closely under his star-shaped make-up (it was make-up wasn’t it?) and suit. A young man, in his teens, with snow white hair and clear, lightly-colored eyes. Chuckling, Rain bends sideways to meet Allen’s gaze upside-down.

“Mr. Goer, huh? Haha, that’s me, I guess. You’d miss your voice, and I would have missed the opportunity to talk to you, Mr...?”

introductions are always the longest! :B

Whatever that voice hinted at, it wasn't the utmost joy someone who didn't have a kid normally took to when they visited the circus. Allen kept his expression bright and unchanging, of course, but he was making some mental notes.

Even as he was as cheery as ever.

"Walker!" An exaggeratedly stretched out gloved hand for a shake, because this man didn't seem to think too oddly of the clown get-up (aside from that eying), and that was sort of nice. "Or Allen, or Red, or whatever else you'd like -- what's your name, Mr. Goer?"
