With Kiara taking over at the dunk tank, Luke was free to wander the carnival for some time before going back. It was good he had some time to enjoy the event, since it was the first time the Underground held such an event, to his knowledge. And for sure, he was not going to miss it. But he’d barely just made it past a few stands that a familiar figure appeared in his sight. He could be dreaming, that wouldn’t be the first time. But Luke just had to be sure whether it was or wasn’t him. So he started walking faster, trying to not push anyone too hard, although still making sure they’d let him pass. He was barely paying attention to his surroundings now, the whole carnival seemingly futile. Because as he got closer, it just seemed clearer that he wasn’t dreaming. “Aster?” The name left his mouth before he could even think, or announce himself. “How... are you here?”
