[...He'd only paused for a moment. Just long enough to watch some old geezer spin a bunch of noodles and set them into the middle of a plate while his sister cooed excitedly over the bright burst of fireworks - the official opening to the festival before the grand display (according to his father), and debated asking his mother to try those.
(They were the first kind of food he'd seen that wasn't coated in sugar, fried, or both since they'd started wandering the streets for this festival.)
On the one hand, he didn't often ask for things while there were out, but on the other... he knew joy was tight and his dad worked himself to the bone for it. It felt wrong, almost, to ask for something so selfishly, knowing that.
Another long moment of debate, before he'd finally turned away, resolute.But when he'd glanced back, both mother and sister were gone.
Shit.
This was definitely going to get him yelled at.
He'd been walking for several minutes now, his gaze intent as he looked for the flashes of black and white that marked his mother's dress when a man stopped him. Glancing up at the staged whisper, Yu blinked, shifted his blue glare at the game vendor, then back again... right before scowling up at the man rather fiercely.]
The fuck would I want to play that dumbassed game for?
[Hope you weren't expecting a cute kid, because that's the one thing you're not getting.]
