he hadn’t meant to, in truth. started off so focused, so ready, and yet the second he saw the merry - go - rounds, the stalls, the crowds of people with balloons, and cotton candy… heard the music, the chatter, the ‘ step right up, step right up! ’ booming through the air… the kid forgot entirely why they were there. a case, right? something… murder… but look at that giant teddy bear! and ——– and ——– he’d never, ever, been anywhere like this before. it felt like the grand prize. it felt like heaven. eyes wide as saucers, the nephilim didn’t know where to begin. a turn of his head, a huge grin on his face as he took his chance. “ just one ride first? ”
SHE USED TO GO TO PLACES LIKE THIS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER . little girl hands holding tight to mommy && daddy , both , part family bonding , part trying to ensure she didn't get caught up in the lights && sounds && smells && run off . && she would . try to , at least . as good a girl she used to be once upon a time , back before the world turned upside down && heaven made itself known behind her eyelids , she was easily distracted as every little kid tended to be . she would attempt to run , maybe even wiggle little fingers free of this parent or thats grasp , but the other would always be held steady as amelia && jimmy would shoot each other looks over her head . relief . thank goodness we were both holding on . at what point did they stop ? ( trick question : she remembers the moment so very clearly . )
IT'S BEEN A WHILE , THOUGH . grandma had been too old to take her && by the time she was old enough to go without adult supervision , first there was no one to go with , then she had other , more important things to do . little girl turned holy girl ! finds herself in a place that reminds her of simpler , untarnished times && there is a warmth in her chest that she does not like . ❛ what are you , six ? ❜ words spoken in response to nephilim boy . what an odd pair they make . what a perfect pair . both golden && blinding . ❛ you do know we're on a case , right ? of the murder-y sort ? tell you what . you can ride when we're done . winner gets to choose . whoever solves this first . ❜ gestures with the length of her arm , slender finger pointing at one with a long line && a group of people getting off who look sick to their stomach at what they had just gone through . ❛ get ready to hurl , angel boy . ❜
