To Pet the Ponies
Characters: Fin, Jin
When: Monday, around 11 AM
Location: Jin's tank, to the barn

The morning had been ... interesting. He'd gone to the barn first to give the púca a heads up that he'd be bringing a visitor around in case Riley wasn't feeling particularly social. Along the way, he'd seen the shambling snowmen and thought being armed wasn't exactly a bad idea. On his way to Jin's tank, he swung by his place to pick up an ax. It wasn't necessarily much, but it was enough for something close range. He didn't really think arrows were going to do much, sadly.

Crunching through the snow in booted feet, Fin made his way through the carnival grounds. Deserted as they were, it was easy to see how the snow had been churned into paths, and the places that might have been unmolested save for adventurous children and their small boots. Granted, there weren't many of those, but he didn't expect there to be.

Humming to himself, Fin ducked into the tent that housed the mermaid and he made his way over to her tank. "Top o' the morning!" He called out with a cheer he couldn't really say he felt. Nothing to do with her, of course, but the place in general and the lingering winter weather, the missing people, the dead person, the new arrival. No, he definitely wasn't feeling particularly cheerful today. But it would be fun, at least, to show Jin around to the horses.

"Sounds like a brilliant philosophy," Fin declared. In this world, why not try what they could? It would be especially fun if they ventured somewhere foreign and got to try whole new cultures. It always did baffle him why the carnival spent so much time in the States, but that was neither here nor there.

"A surprise it is then," he said cheerfully as he ushered her along toward his car. It was an older model, but still in good shape that ran fine. He thought maybe they'd try that Chinese food place he'd passed a couple of times but had yet to stop into. After that, he supposed they'd wander back to the carnival, but he was certainly in no hurry to bolt through a meal. They could take their time and chat before wandering back into their cage.

She'd spent a fair amount of time, pre-carnival, in several different countries in Asia more than anything. She'd washed up there, of course, and been found there. All up and down that coast, and a few inland trips to deeper parts of China and a few other places. She'd spoken little enough English when she joined the carnival though you wouldn't know it now. She was fluent from the patience of a few people in those first few months, but she'd caught on very fast out of sheer desire to communicate.

Jin followed him to the car and tucked herself neatly into the passenger seat, taking care to do up the buckle, though her webbed fingers curled around the belt cautiously. She'd taken a car a couple of more times since Ice had brought her out, but she still hadn't quite lost her fear and caution. But she put on a good brave face for Fin, smiling at him as he got settled. "On to the surprise!" She declared.
