Costume Party

"We have to go inside and see."

"Why?" Angeal took a step back as she shook her head violently to protest. "Everything is so suspicious! You're wearing a Mad Hatter Costume, I'm wearing an Alice costume..." Her head turned to the sky. "And these clouds of colorful smoke and the smell of tea! Something's up!"

Devin sighed as he did a facepalm, his hand grabbing Angeal by the wrist. 

"Let's just go."

"I don't want to!"

"Don't make this difficult for me, please!" Devin blushed as he averted his gaze. "Once we enter the maze, I'd be a very different person," he mumbled, enough for Angeal to hear. 

"Now that makes me scared to go inside..."

Hearing the fear in Angeal's voice, Devin sighed as a small smile appeared on his face. With his free hand, he then reached out to her as he patted her head, soothing her worries.
