"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.
Alex turned slightly so that she stood next to Damon. Wow. It really felt good to stay away from the madness. Hm. Thinking about it..maybe, she was claustrophobic. Who knew? She felt slightly relieved when Damon didn't comment on the whole 'holding his hand' situation. She nodded when he said it was a good idea.
"Yeah. I mean, standing in the middle of a crowd..you know, someone would end up pushing us or something.." Well, there was zero chance of that actually happening..ah, anyway. It was always better to prepare for the worst, right?
"Well, I'm terrible." She had been to a carnival a few years back and she actually ended up losing all the games she played. She nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. True, that." Obviously, it would be next to impossible to win the game but she was still feeling a little nervous to even try. What if she was really bad and embarrassed herself in front of Damon? Huh. What game?
"Um. I don't know.." Alex said as she eyed the stall on the opposite side.
"How about hoopla?"
