YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

YEAH, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GO BACK, IT'S TOO LATE TO SAY IT'S TOO LATE. YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK THAT YOU SAID NOTHING. HOW COULD YOU DO NOTHING?

Titan's brown gaze shifted towards Onision, having heard the mocking snort from the boy. This kid had always been a smartass, from what he had seen. He had dealt with plenty of those types, and he had built up quite a tolerance to ego-ridden, sarcastic humor. Blinking once, his neutral features unmoving, he replied curtly, "No, I don't." He wasn't afraid to go first, but he had just wanted to make sure that nobody else wanted to go into the haunted house first instead of him.

A younger voice reached his ears, and Titan looked down towards one of the children who had tagged along on this adventure. Goodness, she was quite enthusiastic. "Oh, no no. I'm not scared." Titan reassured her, shaking his head. "Uhhh, yeah, we could hold hands." Was he going to? No. He hadn't exactly accepted the little girl's offer, as he didn't really want to hold hands with everybody. Wouldn't holding hands make things more difficult, anyhow?

"I-i'll go first with you!" Before the long-haired man could react, another little girl had stepped forward and grabbed onto his empty hand. He hadn't been expecting that, to say the least. Trying to [sub]suppress[/sub] his flusteration, he vocally buffered, "I- uh..." Titan looked down at the little girl. She was quite cute, wasn't she? How could he say no to her? Damn his soft spot to hell. Shaking his head, Titan decided, "Okay, okay. Let's go first, then."

He glanced over towards Agathe, giving a shrug and answering, "Looks like it." The kids had been the ones that wanted to go in the first place, right? What adults had the time to go to a fake haunted house attraction? Whatever, there was no going back now. "Let's just go in, okay? It's not gonna be scary. Promise." He was more or less addressing the whole group now.

And with that, he took the first steps, parting the ripped, black entrance curtains and proceeding down the dark hallway.
