S: They strode along the fairgrounds, taking in the sights, the ambience. Carnival music mingling with laughter, conversation, the thumping of games, the sizzling of cooking… occasionally a scream as the roller coaster whipped past with tremendous speed. Against the darkened sky the lights were luminous like a magical faerie land with bright colours and fun details wherever the eye ventured… and suddenly, there it was. A collection of plump plushie ponies dangling invitingly from one of the booths caught Seiger’s eye and his gaze quickly dropped to see which game this was - the dark green target bottles glinted faintly further within and he realized just how much luck smiled on him: a shooting booth. Was there an easier game to win for a career soldier?
,,Look at those,” he prompted Alexa to turn her gaze in that direction. ,,Aren’t they cute?”

A: Al simply soaked in the attention, fully enjoying her role as his arm candy as they strolled around the chaos of the fairground, it was a refreshing change from the usual situations they ended in: far from cocktail dress and posh small talk with other competitors. She got pulled out of her thinking as Seiger presented her the rows of plushed horses, now they were bound to fully live their childhood all over again.
“Very,” she very simply added with s warm smile, it was rather unsuspected to have this tall dark and handsome merc start a conversation over plushies. She loved it.
“Should we add new horses to our stables?” Al joked with a step towards the game booth.

S: There was something in the way her smile warmed at the sight of the plushie horses that made Seiger reach a swift decision and he smartly set the course towards the booth.
,,We definitely should," he agreed. ,,Allow me to expand your herd?"
'Allow me to show off for you' he could just as well have asked as that was exactly what he intended to do. He sent Alexa an expactant smile, waiting for her blessing before continuing.

A: “I am glad we agree, more horses is always the right answer.” Alexa added with a soft laugh, it was a really important part of life where it would have been bad to not see eye to eye.
“Only if you let me return the favor after.” She chipped in, he couldn’t be the only one to give here -nor to show off, as Alexa intended to -hopefully- surprise him with her own shooting skills.
“So? Which one of those are you getting me?” She teased Seiger with a glance at the rows of plushies, making it quite clear that she was more than confident in his abilities to win that shooting game.

S: Seiger eyed her curiously as he picked up the rifle, his interest piqued as Alexa seemed to suggest that she was well capable of shooting at targets herself.
,,Well naturally," he agreed with a smile, already looking forward to seeing what she was capable of. As if she wasn't attractive enough already…
,,Oh, you'll see –" he said with a wink as the booth clerk announced the set ready. Six bottles were lined up and Seiger took aim. Six times in rapid succession the CLICK CRASH could be heard as he sweeped the row of bottles clear with six shots. He treated Alexa to his most prideful smirk before letting his eyes sweep across the different colour options for the plushies. He knew just the one –
,,That one, please -" he pointed out to the clerk, and what resembled a dunskin appaloosa was handed over. Seiger gave the broad blaze an approving stroke before offering it to Alexa.
,,This one reminded me of you." he said - inwardly hoping he had been paying enough attention to her preferences and was right about his colour choice here.

A: Alexa observed him with all her attention, he really did look dashing with a rifle like that, and she wasn’t going to shy away from taking in that sight. It did feel quite wholesome to see him in this comfort zone. And of course the targets held no chance, bullseye on all account and the easiest won plushie in history,
To add to it, the selection was also just as accurate as the shots. Al had a chuckle seeing Seiger take it so seriously.
“It will fit right in my herd,” she answered with a warm smile, taking the plush before leaning to Seiger to kiss his cheek.”Grazie love” Obviously pleased with the choice he made. But she soon enough sat the plush next to her and requested the firearm.
“Care to show me how it works?” She tried to be convincing that this was all new.

S: Naturally, it didn’t escape his attention that he was under strict observation here as he took out the bottles one by one… and he loved it. Call it male ego, but he always liked to have people’s attention.
He smiled briefly as his plushie choice was approved before eyeing Alexa with an unspoken curiosity at her next question. Something about the way she had asked him previously suggested that she knew her way around a shooting rink… and something in the way that she seemed clueless now just didn’t add up. He decided to feed her only a bare minimum of explanation.
,,See,” he handed over the weapon carefully. ,,You point it in a given direction and the projectile exits from here. And that there –” he carefully pointed it out. ,,--would be your trigger.”
Of course, he said all that with his standard insolent smirk.. but not enough that it was obvious he was playing her a little.
,, –and you hold it like so…”
He showed her…. obviously it was a ruse to hug around her and ‘demonstrate’.

A: “You’re a pretty dry teacher~ ” Alwxa teased from the rather sober explanation, straight to the point, no tips and cues, it did make her raise a brow, that wasn’t how he helped her in Australia. Curious.
Gotcha, Alexa instantly thought as Seig hugged her into position: how cute was that after all?? They had to make the most of this non dating date and all of its romantic activities. Even if Al could have swore she saw the clerk’s eyes roll from their very public flirting, not that this Italian truly cared. Enough that she didn’t miss to readjust her position against Seiger so her ass would rub and press on him. All of it while appearing as innocent as can be. “Like that~?” Al asked, as if to prove she was still well focused on the shooting lesson here.

S: ,,You’re a pretty wet student,” Seiger blurted out, obviously a statement a bit more direct than what might be considered publicly appropriate. Good thing nobody was around to hear it.
Obviously, he became intimately aware of her re-adjusted position and smiled to himself - his first instinct was to take a respectful step back but it was very obvious Alexa did it on purpose, so he repressed that instinct and remained exactly where he was.
,,I was just about to say that you should keep the butt pressed very firmly back,” he said smoothly. ,,But I meant the butt of the gun against your shoulder.”
He reached around to show her, in the off-chance case she was as clueless as she seemed - wouldn’t want her to hurt her shoulder at the first shot, after all.
He planted a brief kiss on the side of her head before stepping back, giving her the reins to shoot - he was quite curious to see what she got.

A: Obviously Al didn’t miss to giggle from his comeback, really she should have expected it.
“Instructions were unclear~” she purred back at him in an obvious teasing tone, shifting a bit her peach that was still well pressed against him. Either way, Alexa finaly placed herself more seriously, smiling rather softly from the small kiss, that was the best possible encouragement.
But enough playing, the game was on and she had well in her mind to show him her skills. Alexa’s attention soon was fully on the bottles, and when the clerk gave the signal, she instantly got to work. Effortlessly, and one by one, the six bottles rapidly got annihilated. Al turned an amused smile to Seiger, simply adding in and obviously insincere tone. “Beginner’s luck ❤️”

S: Seiger stood back and watched with keen interest as Alexa poised herself for the task. He could tell even before the first shot was fired that she was well-experienced with his - something in the way she handled the weapon, as if it was second nature to her. The shots merely confirmed it. Naturally, he returned her smile as she turned to face him. The thought 'that's my girl ' tickled his mind briefly.
,,That wasn't luck," he said approvingly, giving a small break. ,,-- …that was the work of one great tutor just before."
Of course he was joking here - but he couldn't help it but offer her some sass.

A: Alexa closed her eyes in a proud expression, her ego getting stroked until Seiger chose to tease again. Of course Al answered with a eyeroll as she got closer to him. she answered in a whisper, low enough so only him could hear her awful comeback “and of a very wet student.” Winked at him and turned right around so she could let him simmer while she chose his future horse.
“This one, please.” Al requested to the clerk who passed on this red colored plush. Obviously Alexa was more than happy to pass it back to her partner, smiling warmly at him.
“ it will fit right in your chestnut collection.”

S: Naturally, such a remark from her did not fall on deaf ears. Truly awful, he could only match her energy:
,,You've seen nothing yet," he replied, unable to keep his gaze from dropping to her ass as she turned around again… only to swoop back up as she picked out a horse for him. The choice of a chestnut was right on point and he smiled a crooked smile as he took the plushie.
,,Thank you - the prize of my collection surely." he grinned.

A: “I hope you’ll show me tonight then~” she responded right back with her usual flirty tone. And if she was unaware of where Seiger’s gaze shifted once she turned around, but truly Al would have been simply even prouder to know. Anyway, she picked her own plush back from the counter, didn’t they look adorable with their set of horses?
“Of course, nothing less~” Al chimed right after, glad that her choice seemed right for him as well. Anyway, without loosing too much time, Alexa simply took her -rightful- place; well against him and wrapped with his arm. And as if they didn’t seem childish enough, she lifted her plush and pressed its face against the other one to make it seem as if they were kissing.

S: ,,That's the plan," Seiger responded with a crooked smile, holding the gaze just long enough to insinuate that he took this plan very seriously. Not that there should be any doubts about that.
He did curiously wonder where Alexa had acquired her skills with a rifle - she could claim 'beginners luck', but it was obvious that her weapon handling was automated and hinted at a certain experience.
His attention was diverted elsewhere at Alexa's next move, however - the two plushies seemingly smooching caused him to grin, not expecting this rather cute interaction. Of course that prompted him to make a kissy sound effect as the plushies bumped their faces together.
,,They're totally dating," he added with a conniving look to Alexa, obviously playing on the previous subject.

A: Al had a a chuckle from Seiger’s claim, not expecting the conversation to go back there, it was clever.
“ You’re probably right,” she added with an amused tone and a giggle, rubbing the plushie’s nose together before bringing hers back against herself. Fear aside, this evening was turning a lot better than expected.

S: He couldn’t help it - the second the plushies broke apart their ‘kiss’, he pulled Alexa closer to kiss her instead - it just seemed the right thing to do. A brief moment of physically expressed appreciation.
,,So…where’d you learn to shoot like that?” he asked her as they started to walk on once more. Alexa always seemed very closed off talking about her past… but he would keep looking for ways to peek behind that wall of secrecy she put up. Respectfully, of course…

A: She gladly got pulled into the kiss, humming pleasantly through it, god she loved that attention. Of course Al made sure to mirror his energy, ending it with a warm, almost sheepish smile, after all, that was cute.
“Ah.” Alexa only let out at first, looking away for an instant as she tried to figure out an answer that didn’t say too much but also wouldn’t be a lie.
“ I am self taught.” She dared to look back at him, even if it had a bit of an evasive vibe. “ It felt like a useful skill to have.”

S: ,,Self taught, ah..” Seiger mused to nobody in particular, chewing a bit on her next words. He sensed some caution might be advised here and that Alexa was displaying some of her usual secrecy on the subject. Maybe not approach it head-on…
,,Useful for sure,” he let out with a grin. ,,You’ve been practicing a lifetime with the purpose of impressing a mercenary leader and win him a cute horse plushie at the fairgrounds, I presume?”

A: “Precisely.” She played along with a chuckle, this whole scene was rather absurd if we looked at it this way.
“Isn’t that common practice after all?” Alexa continued, tilting her head to let it rest against him as she pursued. “I’m sure you must have a ton of plushies won by women seeking your attention~” and if that was obviously a joke, it would have been a lie to say she wasn’t weary at the idea of ladies trying to woo Seiger in the past - may it be distant or not. And it felt like a knot in her throat.
“Oh! Would you mind waiting here for a second?” Al’ eventually asked as her eyes got caught by one of the many booth a little further away.

S: ,,I knew it," Seiger added drily, catching Alexa's unspoken hint for him to not press the question further… at this time anyway.
,,For sure - it's how I decide who to keep," he joked back at her, not disclosing that as such Alexa should have a clear lead.
He looked at her curiously when she asked, trying to detect what she had spotted.
,,Err, sure –" he said, releasing her from his hold around her waist.

A: “ A fool proof method I am sure.” Alexa joked right back, finding some peace in the idea that she doubted this was a common situation. If anything, it would be memorable.
“I won’t be long.” She stole a kiss from him, almost echoing the look of those women kissing their husband goodbye as they left for War. In the meantime she only had to cross a little crowd, but that was still needed, obviously. Either way, soon enough Alexa disappeared in the lot, leaving behind the Merc and his plushie.
Of course she emerged back soon enough, bearing a huge cotton candy and a smile, proud of her idea. If they were to live their childhoods today, they also had to feast like kids.
