[It's nice, getting out. Having a gathering. Even the flower crowns and the idea of spring are uplifting. While there is a cynical part of him that keeps whispering that it's a waste of time and that he's really not in the mood with all the terrible things going on, there's the other that understands events like this? Are even more important when things are so dire.
Mercy and Rue did good here, he thinks. So even though he feels weary and haunted, he makes an effort to be sociable, finding a spot and a hot chocolate and trying to catch up with people.]
Man, I haven't sat around a fire since I was a kid.
ii. a grave path
[While he knows how to be social and mingle, it's been a trying time and Carter is glad when he can step away for a bit to recharge his batteries. A graveyard isn't exactly his idea of an afternoon stroll, however, so he lingers at the entrance to the grove. That is, until he sees the upturned earth at one grave. Huh. At first he doesn't think too much of it, maybe an animal that...
And then he spots another where it happened too.
He frowns, glancing at the dates on the headstones, at the ground, then moves further into the place while keeping a healthy distance to the actual graves. When he turns back and sees another visitor he winces, realizing he's become a little jumpy.]
Hi. Didn't see you there. Hey, uh, is it just me or do the graves look...
[He's not sure if he wants to say it and he pauses, searching for words that aren't too creepy.]
... like they've been, uh, messed with?
iii. fashion show
[While he's vain, Carter would rather fling himself into every Dogtown trap than walk a catwalk like that. He'll watch with amusement, though, glad that people are having fun and a way to unwind. If he spots a contestant that looks like they need a hand, he's willing to give that, too.]
Hang on, hold still, you need to--
[He'll lean in to fix a collar or smooth a rumpled shirt, maybe even fix broken accessory with a few stitches should the need arise. There. Perfect.]
