Connor blinked, turning about just in time to see three boys running up to him, all dressed up in skeleton and ghost costumes with bright glow sticks. They greeted him with playful fist bumps. Connor then recognized them easily. "Oh, now I know you!" he said with a laugh.
"Well, yeah, we're in costume! Where's yours?" One of the boys tugged on the edge of his hoodie.
"Oh, they couldn't come up with any ideas I liked, so apparently I'm one of the guys who dies midway through almost every single monster movie."
The boys laughed at that. "When are you coming by to show us more aikido?"
"Well, I can probably do that again, soon. Where's your sensei?"
One of the boys pointed. "Over there. Kitten paws, though, man. He's been through some stuff lately."
Connor looked puzzled, but then they announced they were going to win some Iron Man's and gave him bows that he swiftly returned. They ran off and he approached their sensei. "Well, they're hyper," he said, motioning after the fleeing forms of the boys racing to the game booths. "How are you?"
