“Oh, by the way,” Mary fed Donner a piece of carrot, “Ramen is coming to visit tomorrow.”
Sam suddenly looked up from his papers, “Ramen? Why's he coming here?”
She tried to think up an excuse, “He wants to see the reindeer.”
“Really?” he didn't seem to believe her.
“Yes. They don't have reindeer in Pandemonium, so he wanted to come see what they look like.” pretty good for on the spot.
“And the reindeer are the only thing he's coming to see,” he raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe he was planning on seeing the candy shops too.”
Sam just rolled his eyes at that one.
“You don't think he'd want to see them?”
“No offense Mary, but Ramen is more the type to burn down a candy store then shop in one.”
Mary hatted when Sam stereotyped like that. She turned her back to him, feeding Donner another carrot, “Just because he's live in a Halloween Town, doesn't mean he's pron to maliciously evil acts.”
“You sure about that?”
She glanced back just long enough to glare at him, “'no offense', but you're not exactly an expert on Pandemonians Sam. I don't recall you even bothering to get know any.”
“Not true, I have met three. Zoe, Carlos and Marvin, when they all came for the Grand Holiday's Meeting.”
“I don't think having a three word conversation with someone counts as getting to know them.”
“And randomly falling for a good looking one does?”
She whipped around, her eyes wide, “You think you know so much Sam.”
“So I'm assuming that means you haven't started falling, but rather you have already fallen?” his tone was starting to sound a little bitter.
Mary realized he wasn't racist, but rather jealous. Which meant that it was now confirmed that he liked her. This could have been a very romantic moment if they weren't in the middle of an argument. And if all of what Sam had just said wasn't true.
He sighed, drumming his fingers on his folder, “I know you mean well Mary, but trying to get Ramen to act like a good willed person...even if it did work it would be rather pointless. It's like teaching Donner how to swim. That's not what he's meant to do, and there is no way that Ramen could survive in his environment without the personality he currently has,” he took a carrot from the bin and fed it to Cupid, “Ramen was born to add to the Halloween spirit, and unfortunately that can't be done by singing songs and giving to little children,” his voice dropped a fragment as he spoke the last part, “ I also don't see how light and dark can possibly reside together without having problems.”
Mary wondered if he was really trying to protect her, or if this was his way of lashing out, “Sam , I know you mean well, but I'm not going to stop being friends with Ramen just because we are, technically, supposed to clash.”
