He stared at her for a moment, before tearing his eyes away to look at the candy again.

"Thanks, Carol."

"You gave us such a scare," she said -- her voice patient and measured even when dispensing criticism. Even she didn't seem quite certain who the rest of 'us' was, though. So she corrected: "I thought you knew better than to..."

She, too, let her attention drift to the wheel. And the solitude -- the privacy -- of its uppermost reaches. "Ride it with me, Davis. Ride it with me only once and hear me out."

He was reluctant, to be frank. Davis may not have been on duty, but he was far from eager to hear her out. But with something of a resigned sigh, he nodded and made his way towards the ride. Even at this hour, there was a line. But if being security had one advantage, it was quick access to the rides.

"I already know what you have to say. But if you need to get it off your chest? Fine. I'll listen."

Davis turned, heading towards the side of the ride where two members of the Malnosso could get instant access to the ride for 'safety reasons'.

"Yes. You will listen -- because it's not the knowing of something that is important. But it's the hearing of it. And the telling of it. And the discourse which follows. Discourse has never been a strength of ours."

Only she said it in a way that sounded as though it was less a strength of his, but she'd included herself in the criticism for fairness's sake. Or because she dreaded alienating him. Or because she was still a Liaison and didn't know how not to speak diplomatically. Carol kept step with him and tried not to glance back at the small line which they were skipping entirely.

As they approached the gate keeper for the ride, he flashed his badge and the pair about to board the latest carriage was stopped, allowing the two of them to enter instead. Once he was seated next to her, he rested his elbows on the harness and looked off to wards the park.

"You're not on duty, Carol. You don't have to be a diplomat right now."

[liaising]

"I'm always on duty. So are you, I presume. Even they know that--" She gave the park's breadth a gentle and indicative sweep of her hand. "Very few of them are willing to take this as a simple vacation. A celebration."

"Halloween isn't exactly stellar timing. Remember that year nothing happened? No ghosts. No monsters. No dying. Not even a single costume. We drove ourselves crazy with paranoia. It was the middle of November before we realized nothing was going to happen."
