Re: log: eddie/steph -- carnival.
[If there was a whispered apology, it went unnoticed by Eddie. When he smoothed over complications, he wanted them to be lost in charm and polite conversation. He knew she was just being clumsy, anyway, and didn't take any true offense to her words. The real concern was making sure his girls were safe and felt comfortable around him. The comments of an outsider didn't ruffle their feathers much. He completely ignored her clarification, smiling and busying himself with checking shoe sizes and signing clipboards that were rushed up to him.
He glanced at her and nodded when she gave approval of the show ideas.] Are you? How is it all going? [Eddie thought her new found ice powers were a gift, he even said so, and could think of a hundred different things to do with it in a show.]
Me? Oh, busy! Summer brings so many tourists and strangely enough, the carnival is one of the safest places in town. Nothing beyond late night drunken brawls and those are more entertaining than threatening. So, we have to put on the best shows. Big, loud! Colorful! To make people forget about living in Repose. [He panned his hand across the sky in front of them like he was painting the scene for her.]
