[ packs the essential water bottles & sandwiches in his backpack before he's off, putt putt putting to the fair's designated parking spot. doesn't immediately head for the meeting spot, however, strolling on over the bathroom first to do his business. before he leaves, he takes a moment to poke at some of the misbehaving strands on his head in a slightly disgruntled manner. attempts smoothing the strands down twice, then shakes his head, accepting the catastrophe that had been yesterday's sudden rain shower.

making his way back into the outside world, he ignores the trail of waddling seagulls behind him & begins to lazily walk toward the ticket booth to wait for alyssa & tony. ]

[ grins and catches them as best as he can, giving their hair fond ruffles. ]

Of course! Anything for you two.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ snuggles their faces into his hold while cheerfully unwrapping some. ]

Then win us something? For auntie.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ continues to stroke their hair, trying not to look too gleeful at their rare act of compliance. ]

Sure thing. Anything you guys have in mind?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

The bi~i~ggest bear here!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

The biggest? Really?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ nods firmly while unwrapping another candy for eileen. ]

The biggest.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ side-glances over at tony and alyssa, then down at his watch. back to tony and alyssa for a brief moment. ]

Do you know where the biggest is? Or do I have to go searching?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ jabs an elbow into his gut to turn his attention back towards them. ]

Of course you have to go searching! That's half the fun~!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ hrks yet again, but does not move other than a kneejerk flinch. ]

Alright, alright... does it have to be any specific color or anything?

What do you think, Elly?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

I think it should be a boy-bear. And black, with green eyes. With crazy hair like daddy's.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ pauses, eyes rolling up to the sky in a long-suffering manner. straightens and grins down at them. ]

If I can find one like that, then you got it! [ puffs out his chest a little. ] Nothin' I can't do, after all!

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Good! Then let's go now!

[ deflates. ]

N-now?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ shoots a look over at tony and alyssa. ]

Won't Alyssa get worried if you two don't return with Anthony? You guys aren't supposed to be wandering off by yourselves, you know.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ grabs one of his hands in a rough grip, twisting at the skin of nathan's fingers a bit. ]

It's okay. We told big brother Anthony that we're gonna go explore a bit.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ yelps at the action, wiggling his hand a little. ]

Y-yeah, but she'll worry anyway-!

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ clamps a hand around his wrist to prevent an escape. ]

. . . Do you not want to spend time with us, uncle?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ stops immediately, shoulders drooping in guilt. ]

Of course I want to spend time with you.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ both raises their eyes towards him, gaze a little dejected. ]

You're not just saying that?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head and bends at the knees so that he can look up at them instead. ]

I'm not. I wouldn't lie to you guys.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ holds up her pinky finger. ]

Then pinky promise with us.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ shifts a bit to hook his pinkies around one their own. ]

Promise, then.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ gives the hand a little tug. ]

Good uncle. Can we go now?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright. [ stands and holds their hands properly before looking around. ] Where should we start?
