I'm doing good, Eric said to his friends to confirm that he was in fact feeling better.
So, want to go in? He looked towards the tents, then back at his friends, dropping the subject of that morning and how bad he had apparently looked with another crooked smile. He noticed of course that Maverick and Terrence weren't here yet, and wondered if they were coming.
✄ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eden would have liked to think it was the sudden sensation of snow in her shoes that stopped her in her tracks and not the apology that Maverick called out to her. Stepping around Maverick, unfortunately, had caused her to step right into a small pile of last night's snow, and now she was feeling the consequences. Yes, he had acted out of line. At least he was admitting it; Eden herself didn't know if she wanted to apologize for something she might have even done sober.
She turned around, and looked at him a moment. Once again, only for a moment. Then, she slowly shook her head at him.
You should be, she said to him in a voice she didn't really believe.
And she walked away again, the feeling of her feet meeting snow instead of stiletto forcing her not to think about much else for a few steps. But she stopped again after that. A quick glance around...
She took a stiletto off, suddenly, and shook the snow out. Then, the other one. An almost cautious look behind her told her that Maverick had turned around, too, and was headed someplace else. Well, good. Good riddance.

"Sure, I guess Maverick and Terrence can meet us inside, if they're coming." Skye said. She glanced to the side and thought she saw someone familiar, but couldn't get a good look. She shrugged it off and turned back to her friends. "Anyone hear from them yet?" she asked. Her phone never went off so maybe they told Paul since he did invite everyone.

Paul felt his phone buzz and pulled it oout to see what happened. It was a text from Terrance saing that he was on the bus. "Well, Terrance is on the bus right now. He should be here in a few minutes. Should I tell him to meet us here or inside?" He asked as he sent off a quick responce saying that Eric and Skye were with him. "Also, it's good to know that you're doing better Eric." He added, realizing that he didn't say anything about Eric's condition yet.

Maverick was confused again, she had responded to him and now her movement was slowing down. Perhaps there was more this girl than first met his yes. He turned around quickly and caught her glance at him, though still full of anger. He walked over and said "It's chilly out, I'm not sure where you're headed but would you like a coat?" he said as he slowly took his off and offered it to her. His expectation was that she would snap and tell him to get lost, but it couldn't hurt to try, could it?

Terrence received the message that Skye and Eric were there. 'Cool. Where should I meet up with you guys?' he sent back. He then wondered where Maverick was, so he sent one to him asking where he was. The dental student then unbuttoned his jacket. He didn't need it done up on the bus. After another half minute, he took his jacket right off and sat it in his lap. The bus driver seemed to have the heat going full blast.

"Lets head in since we gotta wait for Maverick anyways. Tell Terrence we'll be in the..." Skye took a moment to look at the nearest tents and attractions, deciding where they should go first. "Petting zoo! On the left of the entrance." she said, hoping the boys wouldn't mind going there first. She loved animals and being a girl means she has to fond over their cuteness. They could have made the obvious stop at the big top, but everyone wasn't here yet and the show didn't seem to start quite yet.

Eric raised his eyebrows in a lightning quick reaction to Skye's suggestion of meeting the others in the petting zoo, but didn't say anything about it because he could tell she wanted to fawn over the animals. As her friend, it was probably the least he could do to at least follow her in and pet a goat or two. What do you think, Paul?
Was anyone allergic to fur?
✄ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eden didn't really know what to do when suddenly Maverick approached her again. She was still holding her other shoe, she could have worked it out to be a weapon if she really felt like it. But, too many witnesses. Far too many. They were standing on a sidewalk bordered by the snow from last night and surrounded by people going every which way. It was almost claustrophobic, actually. And he was standing so close to her suddenly, and she had to look up at him because her height was unbalanced with only one shoe on. Her eyes blazed with anger for a few seconds as she made a consideration of what to do; she was almost whip-lashed with confusion when suddenly he offered his coat to her. It would have been really nice to have something warmer on, Eden thought, and in the very back of her mind she acknowledged that he was kind to offer his coat to her. But she couldn't.
You can keep it, she replied as she finally bent over to put on her other shoe. She looked at him as though she was considering whether to say something else, and whether it would have been a "Get lost" or something else entirely would have been anyone's guess. But she had to go now, and finally she turned around again and walked off. Making sure, of course, not to step in the snow again.

Paul facepalmed before he could think of doing otherwise. The petting zoo wasn't exactly the area he wanted to start off the circus with. "Fine. Might as well go to the petting zoo." He said when Eric didn't object to the idea. It might not be his idea of fun, but he did owe Skye for his behavior this morning. We'll be at the petting zoo. he texted Terrence.

Skye had a big smile on as she started walking over to the petting zoo. She was happy that the boys agreed. The animals there were always cute and friendly, at least to her they were. If the boys weren't careful, a goat might just n** them.

Paul sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he followed Skye into the petting zoo. He personally wasn't one for petting or touching the animals in these zoos. He watched as Skye fawned over all the little animals in their pens. "I can't figure out the facination with a bunch of small smelly animals." He muttered under his breath so that Skye wouldn't hear and kill him.

(Psssst! Wrong name lolz >.< )
Even though she didn't hear him, Skye looked over at Paul already knowing what his attitude was like. "You know animals can sense your mood. Better perk up before they decide to toy with you." she said with a sly smile as she pet a black rabbit in its pen. She had to admit, it would be funny to have either a goat or sheep or something take a playful bite out of him. Goats and sheep were roaming around in the enclosed space while larger and smaller animals had their own pens. It wasn't as horrid as Paul thought, the animals were cleaned before and the workers were diligent on cleaning up the area.

Eric wasn't as reluctant as Paul to go into the petting zoo, because he was actually very used to them; he had been raised alongside two sisters that routinely would drag him in with them. So he was unfazed when they entered the tent and the atmosphere suddenly changed: the loud music and the shouting to be heard above it were both replaced by the bleating of goats every now and then. Skye went off towards where the rabbits were, and Eric bent down to pet a particularly friendly kid. It was true that the animals were well taken care of and the enclosure was cleaned often enough not to create any offensive odors; but one might think the animals were starved the way they vigorously ate the feed.
Near the entrance of the tent, there was a small table where a handful of feed could be bought for a dollar per person. Already a small family had bought some, and the small child raced to offer the treats to an animal despite their parent's warnings to "walk, please."
Eric stood up and looked over at Skye and Paul as the goat he'd been petting walked away to inspect the young child with the feed. Do you guys want to feed them? He smiled teasingly at Paul, wondering how he would react to hand-feeding these animals if he didn't like being here in the first place. It was a very slobbery experience, but that was what hand sanitizer was for.

((SORRY!!! I must have read right over your post...))
Shayna looked down at her clothing with a nervous smile. "That's right... Hehe, my parents are supposed to be taking me to meet some idiot... I talked my mom into letting me come to the circus." She said with a shrug. She couldn't help but like the fact that she had torn the dress. She smiled as she shook the older man's hand. "Shayna. Shayna Snow. Nice to make your acquaintance. And you are correct sir... But I don't think it matters much, there are four of the same color in my closet at home.." she said trying to sound chipper.

Paul glared at Eric when he came up with the suggestion to feed the animals. "I'd like to keep all my fingers thank you very much. If they really can tell what I'm feeling towards them, they might actually try to make me fingerless." He said in a cool, level voice as he stared at the goats. He really did hate petting zoos. He had an...incident at one when he was younger and never really recovered from it.
