She was going to turn 22 in a couple of weeks but hey, it wouldn't hurt to tease him a little. "Of course, I don't mind you asking. I'm 30." Alex said, with a straight face. She managed to keep the grin off her face. She wasn't sure if he would actually believe her..but yeah. She wanted to just have fun.
Um. "You're welcome." Alex gave a smile. "I'm sure there are many who think that what you're doing is right...." Unlike a few. Like the minister, for example. How on earth did he get elected as the most powerful wizard on earth!? Shocking.
"Ah. I'm glad you understand. You seriously should talk some sense into them. That would be fantastic." Alex said, with a laugh. Her smiled faded when she realized that what she just said..might make things a little awkward. Ugh. Why did she speak without thinking!? "Um..sorry. That was a joke..I mean.." She muttered, feeling really stupid. Um. Moving on.. "They think..especially my dad seems to think that I'm totally irresponsible. Like, I wouldn't be able to manage things on my own." Which was ridiculous! C'mon, she was nearly 22! She nodded at his advice. "Yeah, I guess that's what I'm going to do. I just hope that at some point they realize that I'm an adult and NOT a little kid anymore." Ugh. She was just so upset and annoyed. Ugh. "Let's just not talk about this anymore, yeah? I don't really want to spend my time feeling depressed. We are here to have a good time, right?" She smiled, giving him a light punch on the shoulder.
Alex snorted. "I'm not really sure there are any rides around here that aren't youthful." She looked around to find that there were kids. Everywhere. In fact, Damon and her seemed to be the only adults around.
Damon turned to look at Alex when she said she was 30. Even though Alex was keeping a straight face, he was sure that she had to be kidding with him. After all there was no way that she was older than him.
"Oh, wow, don't you make me feel little," said Damon, playing along and keeping a straight face as well.
"And here I thought I was the oldie between the two of us," he said, keeping his eyes on the bouncy castle as he spoke.
Damon wasn't sure why Alex looked embarrassed, like she had said something she shouldn't when she suggested that Damon should tell them that.
"Well, if you think it would help the situation at all, I'd be more than happy to share my feelings with them," Damon said with a smirk. He was sure her parents would greatly appreciate some random guy they'd never seen or met before in their lives coming in and telling them how they should view their daughter. Perhaps if him and Alex were an item...wait, he wasn't even sure if Alex was looking for a relationship let alone being already with someone, so it was best if he didn't let his mind stray there. Damon gave Alex a little nod of the head as she said she didn't want to talk about it anymore. He could understand that...after all he hated talking about the problems with his mother. He was firm believer that maybe if he just didn't mention her she would magically disappear...or he could just magically make her disappear himself...perhaps a good confundus charm?
"I know what you mean," Damon said, looking around at all the younger kids inhabiting the area. This was partially his fault...he had picked the place for them to meet after all.
"We could check out the freak show if you want?" Damon hated that it was called a freak show, given that it had such a derogative connotation to it, but he guessed they didn't mind if that's what they titled it.
