Carlos hadn’t been to a circus in years – not since he was little. But there had been a raffle at work and Carlos had won a coupon for a free ticket. He kinda hoped that his brother and/or his dad were in town so he could invite them to go with him.
Carlos made his way to the ticket office that was set up, standing in the line with his coupon as he looked at everything around him. Some things were different than what he remembered or imagined a circus to be like, but not everything could be a dated cliche trope he supposed.
Once at the ticket office he smiled and offered the coupon. “Hey… this any good?” he asked in a joking manner.
The
acrobat hummed and nodded as he sucked down the packet, squeezing the
blood up closer to his thirsty fangs. “Jake tastes real good- d-do you
think I could have some more, before we leave to hypnotize your team..?”Carlos looked to Skip with slight surprise. “Uh… you sure? That’s a whole pint, you know. Is… do you need more?” Skip must’ve really been hungry. Did he not eat lunch with Earl?
That slight glance of doubt made Skip more than uneasy and he hurriedly set the Now empty bag aside, bringing his feet together nervously as he mumbled and fidgeted. “N-no.. I don’t need it. I want it.”
Carlos noticed Skip’s sudden nerves. “Oh – I’m sorry. I was just expressing worry because… well, I perceive that as a lot of blood. But I don’t know about vampire eating habits. I was just worried that it might make you sick or something. Sure, you can have some more.” Carlos smiled at him.
