years I've walked in the coldest winds
from sorrow and pain I find my strength
the more I hurt, the clearer I see.
The Were-King's emerald gaze stared up at the wooden contraption with some vague hint of bafflement. He'd never before actually seen a functioning roller coaster in reality. Sure, he'd seen them on television and sometimes Tobias' and his own video games featured abandoned derelict tracks that seemed to drift off into the air but this was quite different than anything he'd anticipated. For a moment, Tetradore seemed to hesitate as his gaze followed those twists and turns. Calliel, however, was nothing if not persistent, the girl beckoning him onwards and, in turn, the Were-King followed as they passed beneath those turns in that designated faster lane. With that special band fastened around his wrist, the wait time was near non-existent as the pair passed vibrantly decorated signs detailing the story of the historic ride. Tetradore followed her up the set of stairs and towards the ride itself, the man watching mutely as those giddy passengers filed off the peculiarly shaped cart....thing? Frankly, Tetradore wasn't even sure what to call it. He watched as Calliel held up her wrist band, his own wrist raising ever so slightly to mimic the girl at the staff's expectant gaze. They hardly had to wait more than a moment before the gate in front of them was opened, the pair gestured inside to take their chosen seat. Tetradore trailed after Calliel as he settled within the wagon beside her, only for a heavy bar to be slammed across his lap. Great. A bar. That wasn't...discouraging in the slightest.
His emerald eyes shifted at the sound of Calliel's feminine voice, her insistence that this was an honor caused his eyebrow to raise ever so slightly.
"Okay." The Were-King answered simply, the Alpha never one to mince words. Despite his agreement, however, his enthusiasm for Calliel's insistence was less than stellar as they neared the top of that hill. His arms were hardly raised much at all beneath the intensity of her scrutiny, his hands hardly coming above his shoulders and yet...at least they weren't on the bar? That's all that she had demanded, wasn't it? His emerald eyes, however, slowly followed hers as the coaster paused at the very edge of that hill for one breathless moment, those tracks all the more...inquisitive. He was hardly prepared for the coaster's sudden lurch forward, the cart near speeding along those tracks as gravity took over, propelling it forward all the faster. Tetradore was well aware of those screams that echoed behind him and yet, not a shout left the man's lips as they sped along, dropping quickly only to be jolted side to side before looping upside down in a way he hadn't anticipated. The speed, in and of itself, was entirely normal to him, in a way. After all, the Alpha often enjoyed the high speeds of his sports cars and motorcycles. The loops however, were altogether new. And then - just as quickly as it began, the whole ride was over. How...disappointing. Tetradore caught the excited grin upon Calliel's features, the Alpha simply offering her a glimpse of a simper as the two climbed off the ride. He trailed behind Calliel as she called out over her shoulder something to do with...photos?
"Photos?" He inquired as he followed her, only to continue with a different line of inquiry.
Tetradore moved easily towards those food stands, the Were-King glancing over the menus before finding something he was....curiously interested in. The line was long enough that the dish seemed....promising, prompting Tetradore to wait as each individual before him placed and got their meals. Eventually, the Were-King returned to that table in question with pieces of some sort of fried meat upon his plate.
