She turned around to talk to him but that didn't seem like such a great idea..people would probably yell at her for standing in the way so pulled him to the side. "Um. Sorry." She removed her hand from his. Cue awkwardness. Great. Anyway.. "Well, we could play games but I must warn you..I'm terrible. You know, I might even embarrass you..I'm like that bad..but yeah, I guess I'm willing to try." She gave a small shrug.
Damon could tell that Alex was about an uncomfortable surrounded by this many people as he was, so when she took his hand to pull him to the side he really didn't mind. She seemed kind of embarrassed by the action, although Damon wished she didn't. "Good idea moving to the side," Damon said with a little chuckle, pressing himself as close to the wall behind them as possible. "Who knew it was possible to constantly be in the way?"

"I don't think you'd embarrass me because I'm sure you are much better than me," Damon said to Alex's comment about not being very good at them. "Although I think they do that on purpose. I have yet to ever go to a carnival where it is easy to win a game. I think that would kill their business if all the games were possible to beat." Damon looked around at the various games, thinking that one involving throwing would be probably be the safest and best for him. "What game would you like to try?" Damon asked, figuring Alex would be more comfortable if she got to pick the game. After all, she knew her strengths and weaknesses.
