It's been a few days since Laura got out the hospital, and nothing important or interesting has happened. Except for Theo and Sadde having just captured a new card, Glow, though that's debatably quite boring. Theo turns to Sadde, as though she might have the answers. "Okay, seriously, a card that glows? First it's wind, then it's a huge bird, then you have a blue lizard, there's a bloody Easter bunny, then a shadow, then a sword, and now a card that glows?"
"Yes, but I didn't actually think, oh, of course, it's a card that does nothing but glowing."
"That's entirely your fault," she says, and takes his hand. "But hey, it worked out fine, it wasn't terrorising anyone, given that the last card almost killed my mum I'm pretty okay with capturing one that likes prettying faires up."
Theo looks a little guilty at that. "Yeah, I get that. It just seems like a dramatic change."
"There's a card that makes flowers, one that makes bubbles, and then one that makes things disappear forever. That's bound to happen."
"Yeah, I guess. I'm still not really used to the whole idea," he says. "How about we go back to the faire? We didn't really get much of a chance to look around."
Back to the faire they go, still holding hands.
Oh, look, some cuddly toys. Theo points at them, and asks Sadde quietly, "What do you think Kero would say about one of them?"
"Oh, hi there! I was just saying that it's a shame you're stuck in the bag."
"Yes and given that we don't want people to see a talking stuffed toy, can you get back inside?"
"Ooh!"
So Theo goes over and buys some. Returning, he offers it to Sadde.
Yay candy floss! Om nom—well, not exactly om nom, but something along those lines.
How about 'mm'?
Oh look, some pretty stands selling assorted items. Theo looks around a bit, and sees if there's anything in particular that holds Sadde's attention.
Oh, is there? Why, that's interesting. It does look pretty, and it's within his means. Would Sadde like it?
Well, she's probably not going to buy it herself, and Theo shouldn't be spending money on stuff like that on her account.
Well, in that case, Theo will get it anyway. He hopes she likes it.
Et voilà.
