Aislin nearly skipped along beside Naomi with how excited she was. Sure, the festival would be fun but it was more seeing her friend showing a small hint of her old self again. Naomi still hadn’t opened up about what was eating her alive and Aislin didn’t want to push as she hoped time would help the leopardess open up. It had only been a week, however, so there was still time and this was a good sign that not all was lost.
The only thing she was going to let herself worry about that night was how her aversion to the sun ruined their chance to spend more time together going out and doing things together. They only had a couple of hours to enjoy the festival but that would have to do. They could always continue their fun at a club later on if that was what called to them. For now, Naomi had a great idea. Funnel cakes and rides sounded great. “A fair comes to the city for a couple of weeks each year but it’s earlier in the summer. It has a lot more rides and fun houses and all of that. We’ll definitely go, maybe sneak in after hours.” Aislin didn’t realise what she implied until after she said it but hoped her friend would still be in Greenbrooke come June, but she didn’t linger on it, too afraid to break the spell of good times that they were under.
“You know I can make my body move to any beat,” Aislin instead flirted with a wink and grin. Some spicy memories came back to her but it wasn’t the time to bring those up, even if they weren’t frolicking through a festival. She was a shameless flirt and still found Naomi beautiful but she also didn’t know where her friend’s interests laid after so long. But that, too, would have to wait as other types of fun were waiting.
“Let’s do some rides first then eat. Maybe a new band will come on soon and we can show everyone how it’s done,” Aislin suggested as she grabbed Naomi’s hand and led her through the crowd toward their goal. It was a small selection of rides since they weren’t the main focus of the event but it was enough to satisfy her for the moment. She couldn’t say the rides had any connection or meaning to her from her human life but they did make her feel young and carefree. They ended up at the Scrambler first and Aislin giggled as they snapped the safety bar into place. It started slow as it rotated and pulled them in and out in a pattern at the same time, building up speed as it went until they were zipping all over the place with her laughing at the fun. She knew humans would love the exhilaration of moving so quickly but it was still slower than she could move on her own if she chose to. Still, it was fun and a good way to start their night.
