"Dad, come on! Can we go to the s'mores station now? Please?" Fionn looked up at him with wide, imploring eyes― dragging out his plea in a way that made Ruairi bite back a laugh almost immediately. "We will, buddy, but we're waiting for Simon, hey? You'll get all the sugar you can stomach once he gets here." Fionn sighed deeply and seemed to slump down a full inch― earning another lazy smile and a low laugh from his father before Ruairi returned his attention to scanning the crowd in search of his friend.
Fionn seemed almost to be vibrating at his side and Ruairi wondered what the over-under was on the boy simply bolting for the s'mores area, consequences be damned, right as he caught sight of Simon and raised a hand to catch the older man's attention. He glanced back at his son and smiled, "Alright, Speed Racer. You're clear for takeoff ― you stay within yelling distance, alright? If I lose sight of you I'll be cross." Ruairi schooled his expression into something stern and Fionn nodded so hard and so rapidly his beanie nearly came tumbling off the back of his head before he hurried away. Ruairi turned to greet Simon as he approached, "Mornin'! I'm afraid the mini-me was itchin' to get as much sugar into his body as humanly possible so he's already sprinted off. If we hurry we might catch him. How's it goin'?"
