[ 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. ]

[ goes a little faster (as fast as he's able to go while holding onto another body) as his eyes dart around, almost furiously looking for the gigantic bear-thing they're demanding. decides it's alright to make smalltalk as they go along. ]

So are you guys having fun with everyone so far?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ in contrast, is walking rather leisurely after him. ]

You have to ask, uncle? Of course we are. We're with big sis!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ oofs when someone bumps into him, making him wobble slightly. slows down finally as a result. ]

Y-yeah, but... other people are with her, so...

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ squeals a little when the bump rocks her a little & hangs on even tighter, almost enough to break his inflow of oxygen. ]

It's okay! They make big sis happy, and she loves us best anyway.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ wheezes and coughs, having to stop momentarily to steady himself. adjusts her again before shuffling off. ]

That's true. She loves you guys lots. Wishes you were her kids.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ takes that time to catch up, sharing a short high-five with eileen. ]

We love her lots too! More than anyone, because there's two of us.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ is too busy looking around that he misses the high-five, eyebrows raising when he thinks he sees another stand with huge bears. goes in that direction. ]

More to love, right?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

That's right! [ gives nathan's head a few nuzzles with her face. ] You're so smart, uncle.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ puffs up a little bit. ]

I try my best!

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ pokes his side a bit. ]

Then can you buy us smoothies?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ jerks a bit at the poke. ]

Uh... sure! Where do we go, oh wise one?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh, doesn't work that way! The smart uncle needs to show the children the way to the smoothies!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

... I do?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ grins at his response & pokes again. ]

Of course! Who else is going to teach us?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ grunts at the poke but dutifully begins to look for a smoothie stand. ]

Your dad, maybe?

[ sniffles a bit. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ immediately feels his heart drop to his stomach, stopping to look back and forth between them both. ]

W-what? What did I say?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

All our daddy cares about is his ponies.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's not true. [ gently bumps eileen's head with his own. ] Sure, he's kinda got an unhealthy relationship with his ponies, but he definitely loves you guys more than those old things.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

But he karate-chopped our heads when we tried to feed some yesterday.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

... what were you trying to feed them?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

It was just an apple, we swear!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Well, he's really touchy about his ponies... [ pauses. then grins. ] You know, when your uncle was younger he'd call horses "ponies" all the time. It got your dad so mad.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Whoaaa. . . [ latches onto a hand with a look of awe. ]

And, and? Did he punish you?
