19 Desires Granted

[wishmadeinfire]

[Sorry, carnival goers. Your nice day out might be slightly ruined with the nauseating sounds of Ashura bent over a bush and vomitting up a day's worth of fried items. Fried pickles. Delicious, if a tad on the salty side. Fried okra. Not one of his favorites. Fried ice cream. Why had that never been in his life before? Fried chicken. More please. And fried Twinkies. Where? Where had they been all his life. Really, most of today had been spent sampling all the different foods the fair had to offer, the king delighting in new culinary experiences.

Well, the delight was wearing off as he regurgitated most of what he had eaten that day. It was noisy and uncomfortable and supremely embarrassing, but at least he was keeping it all out of the way in this bush, which he supposed could be properly claimed as his now. Wasn't that a comforting thought? He had his own bush.

Yipee. ]

Gods help me...

[And here comes the fried hot dogs.]

[Felix grimaces and stands back a few feet with Ashura's hair in one hand and the back of his other hand pressed to his mouth in an almost laughably genteel fashion]

I told you to slow down...

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He was thankful Felix was there to hold his hair, else it might have been more than the poor bush needing a wash down.]}

But who knows how long this place will be here...

[lord_wizard]

There's no point in trying to eat everything if it's just going to come back up.

[wishmadeinfire]

I felt fine up until a few moments ago!

_{[This will be his argument till kingdom come and he sat up, wiping at his mouth.]}

Do you have some water, Felix?

[lord_wizard]

Yes, that's how it usually works...

I'll go get some. Wait here...[And he'll wander away and come back in a couple of minutes with a frosty bottle of it]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He takes it gratefully from his lover and takes a few quick draughts. It seems to help and he moves off from the bushes to find a bench and sits, looking apologetically up at Felix.]}

Sorry, I did not mean to put a sour note in the day.

[lord_wizard]

[He mouth twists into a wry expression as he sits]

I've been through worse.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He smiled at him and shifted closer to lean against him slightly, taking a few more sips of water.]}

Are you at least having fun at this 'fair'? It is quite something, is it not?

[lord_wizard]

I've never seen anything quite like it.

[wishmadeinfire]

Do you know what we should do?

_{[He smirked, nodding over to a sort of out of the way set up.]}

The 'Tunnel of Love'.

[lord_wizard]

[He arched a brow]

The what?

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He pointed to a ride with boats made to look like swans and a tunnel with the entrance shaped like a heart.]}

The tunnel of love ~

[lord_wizard]

[He just looks at it like it might bite him if he gets any closer] What's supposed to be in there?

[wishmadeinfire]

It's a tame ride. And it's called the Tunnel of Love. I highly doubt it's anything horrid. Come on!

_{[He tugged at his hand, giving him the 'please, dear' smile of his.]}

[lord_wizard]

[But, Ashura, there are boats...]

Horrid has many faces...

[Still not convinced, sorry]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He finally seems to get why he might not like it, recalling Felix's dislike of water.]}

I already checked - the water is less than calf-deep and is hardly moving. The operator said the boats are on a 'track' so they are not even actually floating.

[lord_wizard]

...and what if you get sick again?

[wishmadeinfire]

Well... I will do it over the side of the boat, I suppose. I am fine, now really, and it's slow. I am sure I will not be made sick again.

[lord_wizard]

Very well...but no more of this carnival food today.

[wishmadeinfire]

Fine.

_{[He smiled, taking his hand and heading for the ride, excited.]}
