Scattered through the western half of the fairgrounds are the game tents. They've got everything, from knocking over bottles to darts to a dunk tank; if you can think of it, chances are they have it. There's even a "Guess Your Age Or Weight" booth. Typically there is more than one game to a tent. This is a very loud area, with all of the games staff calling at once to get people to come over.

Naturally, there are prizes for those who win, ranging from little knickknacks and candies to giant stuffed animals - nothing particularly useful, but a lot of cute things.

The piece de resistance is a 25-foot Ferris wheel. It seats two to a car (three if you squeeze), and children under four and a half feet tall aren't allowed to ride without an adult.

Zexion merely smiled at that. "I believe I can manage to take care of myself, should it come to that. I appreciate the concern, however.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder idly about what would happen if he knew just who he was talking to. Not that he intended to bring it up of course. Leave that to more fool-hardy of his kind; he had no intentions of picking fight he knew he had no chance of winning.

Likely by accident, but Zexion's reply seemed to perk some odd sense of interest in Luffy. If he could handle himself in that kind of sad situation, could he have some sort of power, or a talent in combat?

"Naa, is that so?" he asked, a strange grin sliding across his face. "Are you pretty strong?" For a moment, he looked a little hopeful, in the foolish sense that he often looked to a friendly skirmish in order to entertain himself.

He shook his head at that. "No, I'm afraid. My talents lie in other places than combat."

And to be fair, he looked it - short, and tending towards something that could be only defined as 'bookish'. Truth be told, he'd rather not fight, if it came to it. There were other ways to bring down a foe after all.

Luffy clearly wasn't disappointed, judging by his looks; he kept right on genuinely smiling, and his curiosity only seemed be sparked to greater heights.

"Oh! That's okay, too." he remarked enthusiastically. "Not everybody has to be good at throwing punches. I can't do a lot of other things, so I need people with smarter talents to back me up."

If Zexion wasn't careful, Luffy was likely to try and recruit him to his crew, and it was very difficult to disuade him.

Zexion smiled at that. "That is, I believe the case in many things. Especially in place such as these, where humanity is so intermingled."

If Luffy tried, Zexion would hardly have any problems with it. After all, it would provide him with a secure place from which to weave his web of lies. And best of all, this young man didn't seem like the type to catch on until it was all too late.
