[ More fancy movements wrap up their performance and Oria gives an applause. He really enjoyed this one as much as the circus acts. ]

I feel like I could feel the heat every time they swung their sword!

Right?

[ Sinclair claps for the performance as people move around to visit the other stalls and performances. It'd seem like a band was coming up next]

I wonder how much they practiced to get that good.

It must have been so much practice.

[ He can't imagine the amount of injuries they probably received during all the training... ]

[ Sinclair nods] I can't even imagine.

[ To the game stalls then?]

Did you want to try one of the games?

[ They have such cute plushies]

[ Game stalls, it is! Oria looks thoughtful as he looks around, though he's not really looking at the games, but more about the prizes. Which one looks like they have the cutest plushies that Sinclair would want? Because that is the one Oria will pick. ]

Hm...

[There's one with a giant white fox that Sinclair's eyes are immediately drawn to. It's cute?? It's so cute?? It looks like a shooting game...]

[ Bingo. Oria immediately zooms towards the shooting game with Sinclair in tow. This one is still pretty confident about his aiming as long as he has his glasses, because this version is still nuts about first person shooter games.

He may be rich, but isn't daft enough to flash a card for this man. He has one-dollar bills in cash. There's no way he's going to give the man a hundred dollar bill and expect change. ]

Sign me up for a round, mister! I got my eyes on the prize!

[ The giant white fox plush. It will be his. ]

[Sinclair tears his eyes away from the plush to smile at Oria]

You really like your shooting games still...

[ He'll happily watch Oria though as the man laughs and hands him the toy gun and five shots for it.

"Have at it, kid! You know how these games work. Knock down all the numbered cups for the big prize"]

I do!

[ Oria thinks simply knocking down the cups for the big prize is too easy, so he wonders if there's something he has to consider--such as the best place on the cup to aim for to knock down all the cups regardless of what's inside them or whatever else. Then there's also the gun and ammo to consider. Is it lightweight? Is it easily shot off trajectory? Is the barrel even? How much friction?

He has many thoughts, but in reality, it doesn't look like he's in that much of a deep thought at all. He aims with the toy gun and shoots at the numbered cups--in order, even, because he's a show off. ]

[The first two cups go flying off the stand, but the last three wobble but stay stubbornly put. Almost like they were designed differently from the other two]

That was so close...

[ Oria squints at the three remaining cups for a long time... ]

Another round, Mister.

[ Hmmmm. ]

[There's a chuckle from the stall runner as he sets up the cups again, and then hands Oria another round. Sinclair squints at the cups a little, muttering]

Are they weighted differently?

Mm.

[ That's all Oria says as he tries to remember the end result of the previous attempt.

So he tries to knock the cups out in succession again, but for the more "weighted" ones, he aims at the edge rim of the cup in hopes to make them bounce off the supporting base and get knocked over. Something something physics. ]

[ The cups wobble and drop off, sending the stall runner's mouth to the ground. Sinclair beams]

You did it-!

I did it!

[ Oria looks so happy about this and tries to refrain from looking too smug about it so that the stall runner is less reluctant to hand over the prize. ]

The big fox plush, please!

[aaaaaaaa. That's the only fox plush too? Oria is so lucky even though Sinclair is sure Oria doesn't normally like cute things]

You figured it out so quickly.

I did!

[ After receiving the plush, he puts it into Sinclair's arms. It's big, and he'll have to carry it around, but hey, at least it's cute? ]

For you.

[uawawawawawawa]

[But he hugs it, burying his face to hide how deep his blush goes. Doesn't this make it more like a date? But Oria doesn't even like him like that? Help him, how is he suppose to ignore Beatrice's words now]

Thank you...how did you know I liked this one the most?

I know that you like foxes and sparrows a lot.

[ ... ]

But also because you were staring at it for so long.

[ Like a kid at a shopping mall when they want something... ]

[Sinclair goes a little redder as he hugs the plushie a little harder]

...was I? [He needs to not make it obvious when he wants something] Mm...I couldn't help it. It's really cute.

[And now he has something to cuddle with in bed]

And now it's yours!

[ As long as he gets to see Sinclair happy, it's all that matters to Oria. ]

Are you gonna name it?

Hmm...maybe 'Rein' from 'Reinardus'?

[That was a name for a fox he recalled reading in one of his novels.

He's a little giddy, as he hugs the fox plush, repositioning it in a way he can hug it with one arm and reach for Oria's with his other]

[ Ohhh, he's so, so cute and adorable. Sinclair continues to be the exception for cute things that Oria likes. He holds Sinclair's hand. ]

Do you wanna play some games too? I'll hold Rein for you while you do.

Maybe not a shooting game for me, but...

[There must be other fun carnival games. Maybe something where the prize was food...

...he's gotten pretty good at hitting stuff though so]

Everything looks like fun though.
