temple

[Connor has spent the past few days at the carnival, though after the first day he stuck to the games and the food booths, particularly the cotton candy. There's just something about it that keeps drawing him back, it's so light and sticky and fun to eat. He has a new appreciation for why humans enjoy things that are bad for them- the gauzy strands of the candy are a lot more interesting than, say, a chunk of apple. He's strolling back to the temple with his arms and pockets full of small plushes he's won and two large bags of the cotton candy that he's thoughtfully munching. He's about to go into his sleeping quarters in one of the wagons when he spies Chloe across the way, and he pivots to go to her instead.]

Want some?

[He holds out the bag, taking a seat beside her and bumping his hip into hers for her to make room. Whether she takes some or not, he'll keep eating it.]

This stuff's addictive.

[He looks at it for a moment, shrugs, then pops another piece into his mouth.]

It would probably taste good with some buttered popcorn. What d'ya think?

[He turns his head to look at her in profile for a moment before digging into the bag again.]

How have things been going with you?

[He tries to make it sound like casual small talk, but there's a thread of concern underlying his words, no doubt a result of the color of her LED reflecting off his face in the darkness.]
