Looking perplexed, but amused, Niksia watched the Raevan float away and start a conversation with the young boy about what she was buying. She assumed him a young boy because she did that a lot, it was easier to default people like that and work the details out later. While giving the top of her hair a ruffling shake to encourage the trailing strands out of her face she glanced at the other woman at the stand and offered a slightly bemused smile in acknowledgment. At least she was only a little taller, just over 5'6" in her favorite boots.
Startled to attention by Isi's question, Niksia pinked slightly in the face and stumbled for a moment over the answer.
'Umm. A medium, I would assume? I didn't even think of that.' She remembered the purse held loosely in her hand and dug some money out to pay.

 Josh was released from tow and gave off an appreciated sigh . He had to admit getting carried off was quite vexing and cumbersome. The boy was glad they would be making their way over to the refreshment booth like he had hoped. “Of course, I wouldn’t mind coming along!”
From what he could make out it was being run by two of the unusual creatures which he had found at everyone of the Lab’s events. It would be quite entertaining to spark a conversation with them. If he remembered correctly the silver haired one seemed familiar… maybe a bit taller than before. Josh’s eyes focused on the raevan more clearly as he came closer. Okay, he was very different being from before. The creature seemed to have gained hips and a wardrobe change which accentuated his abdominal muscles to the point of etherealness.

Isi took a moment away from the customer in time to give a wave and mouth the words 'Come back again soon!' to the lady he was just talking to. Unfortunately, he didn't catch her name, so he couldn't yell out 'goodbye, so-and-so'! Well, hopefully she'll come back soon.
"A medium, it is, then," Isi said as he reached underneath the table and pulled out a medium 'I <3 Lab 305' shirt from one of the open boxes. He folded it quickly in his arms and offered it to her in a small plastic bag. He told her the price of the shirt and the balloon and waited expectantly for the money, cash box open and ready.
By this time, Eiry had wrestled the balloon off the place where they had them tied to the side of the booth. He found it difficult to untie the balloons so, if he had free time, he'd find a better way to secure them. As he made his way around the side of the booth, he found himself slightly lifted up in the air by the hydrogen in the balloon. He had to force himself downward to keep from floating up to an uncomfortable level. He bet to himself that if he could hold all the balloons he could fly high in the air like his brother, Rivener! He'll have to try that later, he noted.
Floating over to the lady, he handed out the balloon for her to take, "Here, you go, Miss!"

"Ah, er. Sorry about the dragging along, I suppose I got excited," Revanica lied. She turned back towards the human boy and followed his look. Oh indeed, an Incubus. Ho hum.
... Incubus?! Here? But... wait he was different. Revanica ducked behind Josh. "Here you go, head on up before me, and I'm not going before you because I'm not a lady." Revanica crouched a little, and hoped that this demonic creature couldn't notice her.
"Who is that silver haired demon?" She asked almost hushed. She was in awe. He was only half formed. He was... well a counterpart to a Succubus. It took only a brief moment to realize exacly how big she really was. Normally Revanica would be flattered, but this wasn't the time. What if he was an agent sent to spy on her? Josh could tell her. He must really.
Otherwise she'd eat him. Answers first though.

Niksia nodded at the price for the items and offered out the correct money, with maybe a little extra sneaked underneath, while taking the bag with the free fingers of her other hand. She let one handle fall enough to drop her purse inside and closed it again, that made it easier to find her money later.
She saw the movement of Eiry out of the corner of her eye just then, watching him drift up and then back down again. It caused a tiny giggle to escape her, covered up mostly with a little cough and a straightening of her expression. That was new, she hadn't seen Raevans moving around enough to notice things like that. Did it happen to all of them?
Smiling again at Eiry, the little plushie on her bed drifting into her thoughts, she took the balloon and gave a little bow.
'Thank you! I'll come back later to see what else you've got.'
Turning, Niksia wandered slowly from the booth, letting the balloon bounce beside her as she went.

"It's ok- ahh!" Josh glanced back at Revanica as he was abruptly turned into a human meat shield for the fretting woman. He followed her wild gaze towards Lazarus. Was she afraid of the creature? Josh brushed the woman off of his back trying to set some space between the distressed woman and himself. He then proceeded to answer her question. “Umm, I’ve talked to him once before. He is kind of rough around the edges. But other than that he is a fine person. I believe his name was Lazarus? From what I understand he is a creature from the Lab that used to be here… before it blew up that is.” Josh rushed out a response, because the evil gleam in Revanica’s eyes was beginning to distress him. The last, thing he wanted to do was anger something that wasn’t human. Finally, the succubus’s previous comments sunk in, “Wait, are you calling me the woman then?!” He puffed out his chest defensively.

Turning to Eiry, who stood in front of the booth again, Isi grinned widely in satisfaction. The first transaction went without a hitch, as smooth as silk! Well, there was Eiry interupting him, but it wasn't that bad and it was something that could be fixed. Isi was so proud of himself and he hoped it could remain like this throughout the event, so maybe he could boast to Aphi. And perhaps, when they went home, Aphi would be in the mood to cook and bake with him. Secretly, those were Isi's favorite times with Aphi, when they were cooking side by side and laughing when experiments never came out the way they wanted them to. Lately, they haven't been happening as often as he would've liked because of Aphi's job and all, but that didn't bother Isi. Just as long as they were family...
"Eiry, that was wonderful! We sold our first sale!" Isi exclaimed happily, reaching over the table to offer Eiry a high five.
Eiry reached and slapped Isi's palm with his own. A balloon of pride was swelling up in his chest too and he felt himself rise a bit in the air with confidence. "I'm helping Home base!" he bubbled happily, twirling a bit in the air and striking heroic poses. "We'll sell more and more until Home base is good again."
"That's right," Isi said, nodding as he watched his raevan from across the table, "Let's see how much we can sell, or if we can sell the most."
"Of course, we're going to sell the most," Eiry puffed, moving the hair out of his face, "Because I'm the best! ...Besides, brother."

"No, no, no," She commented distractedly still,"I'm a Ss- lady. Well girl. A bad girl." She flipped her charm on, rubbing her shoulder on his. "An'd, you're certainly no girl..."
That silver haired guy? Laz-something. How fittingly demonic. He was actually a creature from the Lab? Well. Her relief spilled out and she fluttered her eyelashes again. At least this would be a true appology, even if it was the only flirty kind she knew.
"Would you mind ordering for me perhaps?" She asked sweetly her eyes wide, "I suppose I am very intimidated by him." Well it was more than that but she wouldn't get into it. Even if he was a creature from the lab, certainly was demonic in origin. A summon gone wrong perhaps.

Josh’s tension didn't leave even at the succubus's assuaging words about his masculinity. The earlier blush slunk back onto his face with full force as he was unashamedly flirted upon. Even though she was putting on a honey sweet act, Revanica’s touch left Josh with a cold chill. He nodded nervously and yelped out a reply roughly, “A-ah, sure! Umm, what do you want me to get you?” It was probably for the best that he left the flirtatious woman for a bit. Plus, if she was that troubled by the raevan then he should probably step in so she didn’t have contact with the creature.

'Hmm...where to next?' Ebony stopped to take a look around at her surroundings. The scent of freshly cut flowers waffed in her direction, teasing and literally dragging her to them as her feet had already made up her mind and moved towards them.
Her eyes lit up somewhat at the sight of all the lovely flowers. There were so many and still so fresh. She'd buy a whole bunch if she weren't afraid they'd all die before she could get them home.

She suposed that she would get him sooner or later. "Pink Lemonaide and a hot dog, please and... thank you," She winked.
Relief. No need to go up to that Lazarus. Even the one next to him made her quiver with curiosity. He wasn't anything that seemed right. Scorpion. That is what popped into her head but the raevans were just themselves. Something more than what they appeared.
"I will wait back from where we were. I promise you that," She slipped him some money. As was proper via human interaction, she thought and left to pearch back at the bench she had vacated. Luckily it still was.
Perfect. She had a good view of the booth as well. What luck. She could keep an eye on that one, and of course keep out of the eye of him! She twirled her hair and expended a bit of energy twisting the strands into different colors to amuse herself close to her face. She was careful of any onlookers however.
((And night for tonight. See you! You can wander off. xD ))

Josh plucked the bills from her slim fingers and stuffed it into his short’s pocket quickly, “I’ll be back with your food as soon as I can Revanica!” With that he was off towards the stall at a eye blearing pace. He would bring the woman her much awaited sustenance… after he had a decent conversation with the silver haired stall worker that is. The black haired one he had never met before though. Perhaps, he would be willing to talk as well. He stood patiently in the small line that had formed and took the time to give a cursory look over the menu. A popsicle would provided a nice reprieve from the summer heat pelting on Josh.

 Sam had been so discomforted by the non-human woman that he hadn’t even replied to her invitation to get refreshments. He silently slipped away from her. He couldn’t help looking back as he headed in the opposite direction. Hmmmm, she seemed repelled by the silver haired raevan. He filed the information away; he honestly didn’t want to deal with the woman again if he had to. He moved in the opposite direction as the refreshment stand, toward the merchandise one. The festival was starting to pick up momentum and it was getting more crowded to Sam’s displeasure He stopped at the booth, although he was still glancing over his back at the woman. He relaxed a little and turned towards the booth and directed his attention to the floating creature manning it. He remembered why he was here, to free the floating raevans from their life as concession stand slaves! He examined the minty one running this booth. What Sam couldn’t figure out is why it looked so happy to be doing slave work to raise funds for the lab.

Aphismet had finally finished setting up the booth, and he sat on a stool, a well-deserved rest. The contest wouldn't start until later, so truly he was just here to answer questions... But he was still eager to see everyone who might come along!
Rivener, at the refreshment booth, hadn't yet had time to notice who his booth-mate might be. He'd been assaulted by drink requests, and had been busy serving up glasses of this and that, collecting the money, and making sure the ice wasn't too melted. A man and what could only be his girlfriend had come by, the girl going over to the treats while the man headed for Rivener. The Raevan had been quite startled to hear this one call him by name.
"Yes, it's Rivener," he answered curtly. "Do I know you?" He eyes the man (Jun) up and down, trying to recall where he might have met this one.

Everything smelled so wonderful, just like her lovely greenhouse back home. It took all her strength not to lean in further and bury her face into the bouquets of flowers. Opening her eyes and standing back up, Ebony slid her sunglasses down some to look for the one in charge of this particular booth.
Pushing some of the flowers out of the way, "Ello? Is anyone around?"
