    How Green Becomes Wood

    Milo took off his glasses for a few moments so all the colours blurred together and tried to listen to all of the sounds happening around them. It made it feel sort of like an abstract painting, he thought, it was the carnival distilled into its simplest elements. Bright lights, the smell...

    Milo looked over at Alec and then awkwardly stretched back up, just so he could get a better view, but now he felt like he was on display, "I like when all of the lights turn on. Bright lights like that are wasted when they're only used for Christmas."

    "Um," Milo replied, slouching back down, "I... dunno? I just... I dunno." He shrugged his shoulders, "I was just trying to get a better look."

    "I think it'd be really hard to raise a baby in a traveling carnival," Milo replied, even though he understood they were discussing a complete fantasy, "They'd turn out like--Well. Me, I guess." He stretched up in his seat as they crested the top of the wheel, "It is beautiful, though."

    "I've gotten a lot of really cool shots, I think," Milo said as they got onto the ride, not thinking at all about their seating arrangement, "I like places like this because people are up to so many different things all at once... I guess I'm not surprised that Mr. Dark really likes it here...

    The food was fun, although Daizi found it a bit sad: it was much more enjoyable when she was pregnant and having bizarre cravings. Strange cravings went wonderfully with the odd sorts of foods they had at carnivals. That was simply an experience she'd never have again, but at least it was...

    Milo didn't feel left out, although he supposed, in a way, he was. At every ride, he was asked if he wanted to get on it, and everytime he said no, Dark and Daizi asked if he was comfortable watching Ivy, because they would be more than happy taking turns. And without fail, Milo would tell them...

    Milo felt a little awkward on the carousel horse, like he was too old for it, even though there were plenty of other adults and bigger kids riding it. He just felt a little like he was being looked at, regardless of if he was or not. When it ended, Dark took Ivy off the horse and as they...

    "You will be fine, they are designed so most adults can ride them," Dark answered them, "I am just outside of the bell curve. Ride the horse since you can, it is better than sitting on a bench." "I'm still going to ride the carousel horse," Daizi said cheerfully. When they got onto the...

    "Ivy cannot ride a carousel horse all on her own," Dark replied, bending down beside the stroller to stroke Ivy's cheek with his finger, "It will be my job to stand beside her and keep her supported on the horse. And she will love it."

    "The rides are examined at every stop, I believe," Dark said, "of course they are safe, if you follow directions." Mostly, anyway. "What do you want your baby's first ride to be, Goose?" Daizi asked, holding onto his arm. At this question, Dark set his gaze out around the midway, taking some...

    "Um," Milo murmured, feeling a lot of pressure in the question even though there wasn't any, "I guess we can do the easier rides first. So we can ease into it." He didn't really trust carnival rides, anyhow. To him it seemed suspicious how they can be safe despite being taken down and put...

    Dark suggested they rides first and then play games after they ate lunch so that they didn't get sick. It wasn't something he had ever worried about, but he didn't know how Milo coped and seemed to recall one of the twins getting nauseous the last time. Daizi was particularly thrilled to get...

    "It still takes up a lot of space, but it's built into the wall, I guess." Milo said, putting his band on himself by holding his wrist against his chest. Behind him, Dark and Daizi helped each other and then they stepped inside, the big question being, of course: What first? After sizing...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    In between the conversation between Milo and the time they actually went to the carnival, Dark had the stiches taken out of his hand, and by then his rib was actually feeling more or less fine. Maybe a little stiff when he stretched, but he was allowed to return to his full exercise load, and...
