Manayus chuckled as he brought the young girl into the boutique, helping her pick out an outfit that would make the young girl look absolutely adorable here at the fair. He felt absolutely terrible that he had bumped into her and ruined her clothes, and so he had to make it up to her.

As the girl changed, he refused to let her pay for the change in clothing, and so went to the cashier and gave her the money in advance, so that the girl didn't have time to argue with him. Whenever she came out though, his face turned into a beaming smile as he went over to her and couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"You look absolutely adorable! So cute! I can't beleive how well this suits you!"
He exclaimed in excitement, finally pulling away from the young girl and reaching up to her hair, fixing it for her by dropping her beautiful long bangs down to the side of her face.

"Stop apologizing little blue. It was my fault for bumping into you. Now, are you here with anyone? We should probably find your friends."

Brushogun strolled around the  fair grounds with a large ball of sugar... I mean cotton candy in his hands. He wondered about the Sugar Make mage that that man possessed, and why his ball of sugar tasted so good. "Interesting..." the samurai thought, "It gives me a sensation and coats my teeth. Perhaps I should see that tooth cleaner in Dragon Fang later today." He wondered bout the other cooked foods that he never tasted before...

... As for Ramen, we wondered the fair grounds in the child's section of the place. He toyed with kids yelling, "I'M A SPOOKY GHOST~!" at them, but no one seemed to care. He was after all transparent, and with the sunglight, no one really saw him. Not to mention his voice was drowned out by the laughter of the kids, as well as the screams of people on the rides.

The two we apart for today, for Brushogun needed space. He needed time. He wanted to find a meaning to his life. He needed a reason. He needed hope.

Almyra wandered amongst the crowds in Crocus. This flower festival that was going on was wonderful. So many sights and smells between the food and flowers. So many people to observe interacting. She was hungry though, as she, unfortunately, didn't have enough money to pay for any food, and unless she asked someone, doubted she would get any. That didn't matter though, she could always find some later. Besides, she was too busy exploring this place and watching people to eat. Her eyes were currently glowing a soft green as magic flowed through them, allowing her to see the ebb and flow of the universe, the ripples and strings caused by each person's interaction.

She noticed something strange, though, a tiny impact, unnoticed by others and unusually small. It tended to appear around children the most. She moved towards it when she caught a glimpse of it. Paying more attention to the area caused her to notice other things, echos in causality, the brief appearance of a direct link to something else. As she paid more attention to the area the disturbances came from, she caught a few glimpses of what appeared to be a transparent person, as well as heard, amongst the merriment, shouts of a ghost. She approached it now, as she got closer, a transparent person slowly became more and more noticeable. She walked up behind Ramen and reached out, trying to touch his shoulder.

"U..uhm... thank you Manayus... but... I came alone... see I've never been to a fair so... I wanted to see what it was... I I didn't think it would be so... big."
She stated with a bright blush popping up onto her cheeks, even as she attempted to regain her balance from Manayus nearly smothering her with how cute she looked. 

Seeing as how she had come alone, the two had decided to venture out through the fair together instead of on their own. They stopped to replace Manayus' dropped ice cream, grabbing one of the treats for herself as well before continuing on their sight seeing journey. This chocolate ice cream had been the best thing Aayla had eaten in a very long time! It was almost as good as apple pie! She savored every bit of the desert until there was absolutely nothing left in her hands for her to eat. She couldn't help the pout that crossed her lips when it was done.

As they made their way into one of the rides, Aayla caught sight of what looked to be something like a Samurai... he had similar armor, or at least she thought so with her limited knowledge... maybe he was an actor here at the park? Or a guild mage that used that magic that let you change your armor... She couldn't take her eyes off of him for the longest time, even as they got in line for the roller coaster. Something about him seemed almost sad to her...

Spoiler:

Brushogun stood there, with a wad of sugar smoke... i mean cotton candy, sticking out of his mouth. He had stopped to think about technology for a moment. And in that, the candy grew hard and into a wad of... well, sugar. He stared at the rollercoaster as kids walked by and pointed fingers at him. Everyone seemed to belong, besides him. "I'm the one that doesn't belong." he thought to himself, watching the cart of the rollercoaster being shot down the hill. And he didn't mean just the park.

Meanwhile...

Ramen was near to ghost phantasm tears as he failed every attempt to frighten a kid. If he wasn't fearsome, then there would be no point than entering the physical world again. He let out a ghostly sigh as he felt an odd sensation in his body. He released an incredible laughter as he turned to face a girl. He stopped to admire her beauty for a moment. Then he introduced himself, "H-Hi...I'm Um... I'm Ramen Fighter... I-i... Hi. I uh... Like your face."

He was quite the ladies man.

Almyra tilted her head, staring at Ramen with curiosity as he laughed. She gave a small smile as he introduced himself and complimented her. Normally she would likely blush or giggle, though currently she was under the effects of Amor Fati, altering her thoughts and removing her normal child-like behavior. Still, she wasn't far enough under to lose her ability to communicate effectively. "Thank you. I am Almyra Bys." She blinked, looking over Ramen once more. "What are you?"

As they moved further ahead in line, Aaylas eyes never left the Samurai's form. Something about him didn't sit right with her, nothing bad or evil just... something. She looked over to Manayus and quickly apologized, asking him to hold their place in line before she took off towards the Samurai man. What exactly was she doing? She wasn't sure but her feet sure where telling her just where to go before her brain decided to tell her it was time to speak.

She found herself walking right up to him, her face growing more and more red as she approached the armored stranger. She was putting herself in a dangerous place and she knew it...

"H...hello. My name's... uhm it's Aayla... you l...looked so lonely so I... uhm.. wanted to know if you... wanted to come on the... the roller coaster with my ...my friend and me."
She began stuttering, silently kicking herself in the butt for reverting to that habit so quickly.

Brushogun opened his mouth, dropping the wad of sugar from his mouth. He turned to face a girl. She had vibrant blue hair and stood no more than 4 and half feet tall. He could see an odd aura. She seemed to control the power of the dark mage he met once before, Kaseki. Could it be? That she had powers of the sea as well? But no, this was stronger... Who was this girl?

Brushogun smiled from under his helm. His mouth was the only thing visible. "Roller Coster?" he thought. "Is that this machine?" He extended his arm to the small girl. He wanted her to lead him to the place of this metal monster. This dragon of a ride would be stain... Or whatever people did for fun...

And on the other side...

Ramen stared at the girl, who stared back at him. He remained there in silence until she blinked and asked what he was. Ramen was in a peculiar situation, for he barely knew what he was. He began to fiddle with his thumbs as he stumbled over the words. "I uh... My Spe.. Species is called Fallen Spirit. I am... Uh.. An angle, but a demon too. I am also evil, but really good... Um... I'm everything and nothing... I lost.. um..." It pained Ramen to forget so much of his past. He felt a strange void in his heart, as if there was a wife and child waiting for him, and he couldn't remember the names. "I'm nothing." he finally said.

Almyra blinked again, staring at Ramen for a moment, observing him some more before speaking. "That is not true." She spoke factually, not reassuringly. "You would not be here if you were nothing. This conversation would not occur. Your impact has directly influenced me, as well as others. I can see the ripples caused by your actions." She could not understand how Ramen could think he was nothing. He could be seen, heard, observed, that would clearly indicate that he was, indeed, something. He even stated earlier that he was a fallen spirit. "What is the cause of your confusion?" She asked, since it was fairly clear that Ramen was confused. Well to Almyra it was anyway.
