[ 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. ]

[ 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?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ tugs again, toward the direction of one of the booths. ]

Let's try over there! Then we can take a lap around the entire place. . . twice!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ goes along with them despite the reluctance in his voice. ]

T-Twice...?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Twice. Just in case we miss it the first time.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Your uncle doesn't have as much stamina as you guys do...

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Don't be silly! If you can stalk us, you can definitely have fun with us!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

I-- I WASN'T STALKING-!

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Elly, it wasn't stalking. It was creeping.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ has the urge to mention that it's albert that's the creeper in the family, but refrains to instead change the subject. ]

Hey, I think I see a big bear over there!

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ tries to peek on over, making her go on her tip-toes. ]

Oh, oh, really? Is the biggest? I can't see it! [ turns to nathan, holding up her arms. ] Lift me up, uncle!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

It's pretty big. [ lets go of the twin's hands to bend down, momentarily struggling to hold her up in his arms. tries not to sound strained as he speaks. ] I dunno if it's dark brown or black, though.

It can't be dark brown. It has to be black.
