"I'm going to take that as an opportunity to thank my lucky stars that nothing in this park advertises itself as Chinese." 

"You're both adorable. Do you understand why I'm so glad they don't have anyone dressed up as villains?" 

"I think Auradonian Chinese food is a legitimate cuisine, it's just at best loosely inspired by actual Chinese food. These restaurants just serve overpriced Creole food that sucks."

"You're not wrong but you know they'd get all Small World about it. There are in fact other things to eat at this park, we could go somewhere else and get fish and chips or something we haven't all already had a better version of." 

"Maybe we can show Sasha funnel cake!"

Cute. 

Funnel cake is infinitely better than cotton candy, on account of how it doesn't taste like it's trying to rip Sasha's mouth up very very slowly. (He pretends he doesn't hear Chen laughing.) 

"Cotton candy is good," Kaleva says. "You have terrible taste."

"It's like trying to eat fiberglass made out of sugar! Why would you do that to yourself?" 

"Because it is literally the only time anyone will let you eat pure sugar!"

"One, it's not like anyone can stop you, two, rock candy apparently exists, and three, pure sugar isn't even good." 

"That's true! Also maple syrup snow."

"I'm just going to assume that means something." 

"You pour boiling maple syrup on snow and then you eat it. It's really good," says the person who eats cotton candy in cold blood.

He does not trust Kaleva's judgement regarding which sweet things taste good, but that could actually be correct. 

He really wants to be home so he can cuddle Kaleva; it's been less than a day since he's cuddled his boys (? it feels weird thinking of them that way when he's not in bed with them but he doesn't have a better word) but that's already too much. 

"We should stay and watch the fireworks.'

He is loosely aware of the concept of fireworks but can't call to mind what they actually look like. "We should!" 

Kaleva can sit with his head on Sasha's shoulder to watch the fireworks because he's tired. No other reason.

Of course no other reason. And Sasha's holding Chen's hand because loud noises freak him out, and for no other reason. 

Asher is contemplating what people would think of breaking into somewhere so they can watch the fireworks and actually cuddle. He's guessing the answer is "against."

"What do you think of the fireworks?"

"Loud but gorgeous." 

"I should have thought to bring earplugs."

"No, it's perfect." No, you're perfect. "I wouldn't change a thing." 

If he's very surreptious about holding Sasha's hand then maybe no one can see!

"I've got you," he says, so softly that nobody but Chen and Kaleva and Asher can hear the words or the affection behind them.
