Abigail ran ahead of Cino...again for what was most likely the 100th time that walk. Well, in Abigail's case run, before rushing back to Cino's side, her face practically split in half by the big grin on her face.
She was still clinging to Bun-bun, and she found it a fun...even though she wasn't doing anything really. After all, they walked...ran, to the city, and Abigail was only breathing a little hard.
Giggling happily, she was now matching Cino's pace, and staying next to him. "This is fun!" she exclaimed, grinning up at him.

Cino strode along the sidewalk at casual pace as the lively girl jumped around and sped around him in circles every so often. He couldn't help but laugh a little bit as she did this. It wasn't long before the two had found themselves in the city itself. The streets weren't bustling, however the sidewalks were slightly crowded with people. There was a rather large shopping district along with a boardwalk. Slightly further out there was the docks accompanied with a variety of establishments by the water. The atmosphere felt very inviting to be honest as Cino walked casually along. He didn't know what to do first if anything. Perhaps he would just walk around and take a look first. "Never been down here much before." He murmurred as he walked along.

Abigail squealed a little and ran back over to Cino. Without thinking, she gripped his hand as they walked through the crowd, and was grinning. "I've never been in a city before!" she answered, holding Bun-bun tightly with the hand that wasn't gripping Cino's.
She didn't want to let go, and let out a little, happy, giggle. She pulled Bun-bun up to her chest. She didn't want to lose her best friend...which was the bunny clutched to her chest.
Skipping a little, she stopped for a moment, and then looked up at Cino. Well, she had to look up at almost everyone, and she grinned at him.

Cino felt a hand latch onto his as they began to sift themselves through the larger crowds in the city. If he would've known the girl was going to do that he would've asked her at the start. She was a bit shy now that there were more people around...obviously people neither of them probably knew. He held on to her hand a bit tightly to let her know that he wasn't gonig to let her get lost at all. Walking through the crowds he looked around before hearing a fanfare of music.
It drew his attention for the moment and began walking over. It was...a small festivel that seemed to be taking place in a small city park. A group on a small stage was performing a melody of music while tables of festivel goers were happily eating away on food from concession stands. Rides abounded the area and there was even a ferris wheel. He wondered why he hadn't noticed it before, but it was probably because he wasn't paying much attention to the sky.

Abigail, feeling Cino's tightening grip, looked up at him in slight surprise. It wasn't that she wasn't grateful, she was just surprised. Grinning happily, she just held onto his hand, and onto Bun-bun, as they weaved through the crowd of people. Of course, Abigail was now worried about the emotions that were beginning to leak through her mind.
She was starting to beleive it hadn't been such a good idea to get to the city.
Looking up at Cino, she noticed he seemed to be listening to something, and she took to listening as well. He lead the pair over to where their was a fair. "A fair!" she exclaimed happily, staring at everything.
The little band, and she looked up at the ferris wheel. "That's big," she mumbled, staring at the giant wheel.
She wasn't going to admit she hadn't been to anything like this before either.

He couldn't help but laugh at the girl's enthusiasm at everything that was around them in the few steps they had taken. He noticed that she was staring up at the ferris wheel that he had spotted earlier. It certainly seemed quite convienent that there was a festivel the day he wanted to explore the city. Although he wouldn't be able to see everything, it was certainly a nice attraction none the less. Looking at the cheerful girl, he smiled slightly. For once he felt a bit happy to be with someone. Someone that seemed to trust in his protection. It was a feeling he hadn't had for a while. "So...what do you want to do first? We might as well take advantage while the festivel is here."

Abigail looked up, and grinned happily, then looked slightly puzzled. "Doesn't everything cost money?" she inquired, looking curious.
As she had never been to a festival, so she didn't know how everything worked. She shifted her grip slightly on Bun-bun before looking around. "I would like to go on the big wheel thing though," she commented, smiling happily at him.
She looked around, and tried not to let other people's excitement get to her too much. Shaking her head slightly, she looked around at everything all over again.

Cino laughed a bit at the girl's question. "Yes." He nodded his head before continuing. "But its not a problem." He smiled reassuring her they would have fun hopefully. Cino glanced around as he heard Abigail ask to go on the ferris wheel. He noticed that the line was quite short and they could easily make it for the next ride. "Yeah, lets just get some tickets first." With Abigail in hand, Cino took a few steps over to a ticket booth where he placed up a few dollars to get a small set of tickets for the two of them. They soon found themselves in line at the ferris wheel and it was just ending. The riders happily removed themselves from their carts and made room for the new passengers. "Our turn." He tugged on Abigail's hand.

Abigail's eyes light up with unparalleled delight, and smiled her thanks at Cino. "Thank you Cino," she added, before letting out a little squeal of delight.
Abigail followed him easily from the ticket booth to the line, still clinging tightly to Bun-bun. She enjoyed it, and waited extremely patiently in the short line. Well, for her, it was patiently, but she still bounced a little on the balls of her feet.
When he tugged lightly on her hand, she easily followed him, looking excited.
Mainly because she wanted to know what drew the birds to the sky so much. They talked about 'touching the sky' so often that she wanted to know what it was like to be up so high.
She was already enjoying the thought of being in the giant wheel.

Cino gently took Abigail on with him into the carriage which circled up letting the next set of people in. It was rather roomy with a set of metal handlebars in the front, although Cino doubted the ride would be that intense. It was just a ferris wheel. He sighed as he relaxed slightly and leaned back in his seat. How great would it be to just sit here for a moment. To see the sky. To simply just enjoy everything. It had been so long since he had been actually able to marvel at the morning sky. Cino could always be found on the rooftop somewhere watching the stars. "You doing okay kido?" He patted her on the head gently as the ride began to move into motion.

Abigail took a seat in the little ferris wheel thing, and she let out a little giggle. She enjoyed this, and looked around. Feeling excited, she clung tightly to Bun-bun. This explained everything to her. It felt exilerating, and she grinned, before bouncing slightly in her seat.
She quickly stopped though, and grinned over at Cino. She held tightly onto Bun-bun, and then snuggled slightly with the stuffed rabbit. Smiling, she turned to Cino at his question. "Yep! I'm doing great! This is fun! I like the big wheel!" she stated, nodding happily at him.
Leaning over slightly, she made sure Bun-bun was held out of falling range, and then she sat back again, bouncing lightly in her seat again. "Fun-fun!" she stated, hugging Bun-bun tightly.

Cino couldn't help but smile as he watched the girl enjoy herself. He hadn't remembered smiling for quite a while. Perhaps it was something he didn't quite understand himself. He wasn't exactly the social butterfly. Maybe he should try to socialize more, but he never made a try to most of the time. Yet even without talking much, he had made friends...somehow. Cino watched as their carriage was nearing the top. Looking around you could see the large sea in the back along with the beach. He could even see the great amount of people below enjoying themselves. He pointed at the sparkling ocean to Abigail. "Look at that...it reminds me of the stars."

Abigail followed his arm and looked over at the ocean. She smiled in excitment and squealed happily. Bun-bun was held tighter to her chest, and she giggled, bouncing a little in the seat. "Dolphins, whales, coral reefs, fish, sharks, clams, lobsters, and crabs!" she recited, and grinned at Cino before looking back at the ocean.
She had never been to the ocean either, come to think of it. 'It could be fun, to talk with a dolphin. I've heard they are very smart,' she thought, and let out a happy squeal again.
Turning back to Cino, she grinned and stated, "Thank you Cino!"
But even those three simple words could not sum up the look of pure excitment, happiness, and thanks that also seemed to pour out of her pores. She bounced a little in her seat again, and looked over at the sparkling ocean.

It was nice to show someone something that you marveled at yourself. Somehow Abigail simply didn't care what they did, she just wanted to do something...anything. She eiher had been to the ocean before or had studied it. He made a mental note to perhaps take her down to the beach later. He glanced at her and blinked for a moment as she thanked him. "You don't need to thank me." He chuckled slightly. For some reason he felt a bit more at ease and not so uptight as he usually was. It was a bit relaxing to be honest. Feeling the light breeze through his hair. To enjoy it with a friend was also good. The ride slowly came to a hault as passengers were being disembarked from their carriages. Cino held on to Abigail's hand as they exited their carriage and a new group took their place. "So...what do you want to do now?" He couldn't help it, but a small smile crept across his face. Somethiong he hadn't done for a while.

Abigail shook her head slightly. "Yes, I do. Not a lot of people are nice just to be nice to me. Auntie says my personality is bouncy and happy, so sometimes it gets on people's nerves," she answered, hugging Bun-bun tightly to her chest again.
Smiling at Cino she held his hand tightly as they got off the big wheel, and she giggled a little. "Funnel Cake!" she exclaimed, grinning up at him.
It sounded like something yummy to eat, and she grinned up at him. It was fun, and she kept Bun-bun close to her chest. She didn't want to lose him.
