Palamedes finds specific places within the carnival that seem like good vantage points to watch everything going on, this one picked by the strange circular ride - the carousel - with people riding plastic animals. Something odd is definitely going on there and he's deciding whether or not he wants to bother figuring it out. He's recently dealt with his mirror incident so he's a little less free with the 'I'm sure I can handle whatever it is' mindset.

He realizes that he sort of stands out; he's sort of hovering and staring at people, including the kids stepping off of it - were they on there before? - and he prides himself on at least generally acting like he's fine at all times. Palamedes ends up in a line, he thinks for some of that popcorn, and instead he is handed an absolutely obscene giant fluff of blue cotton candy. It's bigger than his head.

"Oh I don't think so ---" He doesn't know what this is but he does know that it could very well end up being something that decides to suffocate him or some other nasty trick. Maybe he's being paranoid or maybe they were recently being picked off one by one with a mentally unstable Lyctor, who knows. Some of it manages to stick to his glasses which immediately throws him off balance.

"Hi could you hold this for a minute? Or forever? This could fit a family inside of it." Palamedes does not see the person he is handing the cotton candy to but luckily it may be a certain someone with a sweet tooth.
