She claimed that it was all according to plan. Striden smirked, sure lets say he believed her. Paradise told him she had fun today and that it's been a while.

Funny how natural it was to stop having fun in order to take care of higher priority matters. Striden was going to do the same here, he was disappointed in himself.

He replied to her calmly once more. "Adults seem to focus on other things than having fun." Then he shrugged "It's heart breaking to seem them stop smiling and take things too seriously." Yeah it was. It's part of the reason he was here in the first place. He needed to do his best to not be like them, otherwise they win. So change of plans. "Now that we are friends, what brings you here?" He asked with a small smile.
