[ not like she's ashamed of it. well, maybe she is, but she does like being pampered. ]

Alright. You're a very loyal subject, aren't you?

[zerotohiro]

[A languid shrug and he walks off, expecting Athena to follow. Come on, they'll go get blue cotton candy.]

I try to be, sure. Consider it practice.

[psycholawgy]

[ why can't there be yellow cotton candy? ]

Practice for what?

[zerotohiro]

[Because blue's a better color :c But he smiles and ducks his head as he leads them onward.]

Couple of things. Don't worry so much about it...we've just gotta be on guard and still try to have fun here. Don't you think?

[psycholawgy]

Oh, definitely. I'm already having fun right now!

[zerotohiro]

Then that's all that counts. [A beat.] C'mon. I'll race you. [And look at that he's already running off. Come on, Athena. Let's go get cotton candy and put aside all weird thoughts for a couple of hours.]

[psycholawgy]

[ YOU LITTLE SHRIMP!! athena will not lose! she dashes forward and gets ahead of hiro. it doesn't even look like she's exerting effort at all. ]

[zerotohiro]

[BYE ATHENA???] Hey! There is no way you're faster than me! [And doing it with a way that doesn't even seem to wind her at all.] Stop cheating!

[psycholawgy]

I have longer legs than you, and I run for a living!

[ athena, you're a lawyer?!!!?? well. a competitive one, at that. one who joins triathlons and marathons and just does a lot of sports in general. it makes sense that she's faster than a nerd who holes himself up in a room all the time. ]

[zerotohiro]

You're only like four inches taller than me! [But it's enough to let her get ahead and beat him to the cotton candy stand. This isn't fair. None of this is fair. He's just going to slump over a bit to catch his breath.] Still...cheating...

[psycholawgy]

[ it doesn't look like athena's broken a sweat at all. after all, she's ran a marathon without even stopping. her endurance is high. ]

Don't be a sore loser, Hiro. Don't worry. Should we have a rematch at the track?

[zerotohiro]

There's a track here? [This is how much Hiro knows about the facilities at the gym. Athena please be gentle.]

[psycholawgy]

Probably at the school.

[ she's not sure either. she just talks a lot. ]

[zerotohiro]

When did you even get so good at running anyway?

[psycholawgy]

I do some running every morning!

[zerotohiro]

You mean voluntarily? [Gross, why...] ...man, forget it. Pick your cotton candy.

[psycholawgy]

Of course! I have to stay fit.

[ she sees no problem with this. in any case, she'll be buying some blue cotton candy. delicious. :9 ]

[zerotohiro]

You're a lawyer, what do you have to stay fit for? [He rolls his eyes but he's being a good sport anyway.] Whatever. Let's see what else is around the carnival.

[They both have cotton candy and they're both set. Time to go peruse the carnival a bit and not think about creepy masks and fortunes.]
