Onira looked around, his eyes bright and his smile wide. The renaissance was his favourite of all things that happened in Babylos. He hadn't missed one for the last ten years, and didn;t plan to until he was dead. It was just so mystifying. Since it was a city that was pretty much filled with only magic folk, most of the shows were spectacular. There was a clown that tossed actual balls of fire, and even made a loop of it and turned some of the fire into the form of a dog which jumped through the hoop. There was the space walk, which was a circle with four mages around it. They focused into the circle, and kept out any gravity. The feeling was sensational, but nothing compared to Onira's favourite. His booth.
The young man opened the small wooden door and stepped into the booth. He closed it and placed his hand on the sort of shack-like door. He pushed up, and instantly the light of the sun shone inward. He looked around and gave a toothy grin. He let it turn into a smile so he could place two fingers in his mouth. He blew with all his might.
"Heeeeeeewww uuyp!"
A few of the people turned around to see Onira standing inside the booth.
"The Carnivale Cuisine is now open!"
Yes, that was Onira's booth. He did a lot of the cooking for the Renaissance fair, and had a good back-space to do it. People enjoyed his food, because they could get a hot and fresh snack without the wait. Since babylos provided the food, Onira also didn't have to charge, which was fine with him. Just for the people.
"Do you have cotten candy?"
Onira looked down at the apparently five year old girl. He gave her a grin.
"Of course! Just give me a sec!"
Onira walked into the back area of his booth and drew out a stick. Cotton candy was one of the things he didn't do with alchemy. The machines were easier. He dipped the paper stick into the machine and it instantly started to build up. He took it out tot he front and handed it to the girl.
"Please enjoy!"
Soon, many customers started coming and going, giving Onira more pleasure than the others could possibly get from eating his food. In a way, it sort of proved his point. Science was to help people. Even if it was only to feed them.

Phaedra walked the streets of the fair having never gone before she was excited by all the sites she could possibly take in at once. There was so much. She hadn't been to a carnival in so long that it was amazing just to be here walking among the booths and attractions that she saw put up.
She was sipping on a cherry flavored beverage she had gotten at the one beverage shop as she looked around. Her eyes were bright with delight and her skirt flared in the wind so slightly as she looked around. It was then she heard a very familiar voice from across the grounds seemingly trying to get customers and with a smile she headed in that direction. She had left her sword at home and was just out enjoying the day of no classes and fun.
And there he was none other than Onira. They had decided after much turmoil that they were like big brother/little sister and so they had become close once more. She walked over to his booth and leaned on the side for a moment looking over at him with a smile.
"Cotton candy for the worlds greatest little sister?" she asked with a wink.
But instead of waiting she sat her drink down and with great ease jumped over the counter and was now behind it with Onira. She gave him a quick hug the necklace he had made for her stayed around her neck from the day he had given it back to her and she smiled.
"Use some help?" she asked and looked at him hopeful.

"Oh? I might be able to do that?"
Onira gave a grin as he returned Phae's hug. He walked to the back, and, as he entered, he heard the next part of Phae's talking.
"Well, I noticed you didn't bring your sword. If you had, I might have had a job for you."
He once again went through the routine. Took out a paper stick, pur it in the cotton candy machine, and waited for it to build. Once it was done, he took it out, gave it a quick flick, and then went back to the front to pass the fairy floss to his 'little sister'.
"What would you two be up for today?"
Onira took the quick and easy order of a couple infront of the counter. He then went into the back room once again, and withdrew a pizza out of the fridge. He placed it into a large solomn seal already drawn on the counter, and let the lights go up. He then took the large sort of saw-like pizza cutter and, with four quick slices, had finished his masterpiece.
"Delicioso!"
He drew out two paper plates and shimmied a slice onto each one. He then walked back out to the front and slid the two slice out onto the counter, giving the two a smile.
"Enjoy!"

Phae took the floss from him it was pink her favorite and she pulled herself up so her back was facing out and her front was facing Onira as she began to tear apart the pink fluff and place it in her mouth happily.
"Want some?" she offered as he had made her a truly large cone.
She continued eating happily her legs swinging one then the other back and forth on the counter like a kid when they are small.
"What did you have in mind for my sword I assure you if you need it or want it I'm game. I can get it rather quickly with little effort." she said with a shrug knowing school wasn't very far. "So just let me know."

Onira gave her a grin, taking out a 24-pack of plastic-wrapped paper cups. His idea was a little unorthodoxed, but not completely pointless.
"Burgers!"
Okay, not a very descriptive answer, but a truthful one. As said, his idea was just a liiiiiiiittle unorthodoxed.
"Well, I was hoping you could use your inferno ability on your sword, and then make some burgers for me. If your up for it, I can make you a sword right here, so you don't have to dirty yours. But of course, if you just want to relax..."
He unwrapped the plastic and walked into the back room with one of the cups. He yelled out to her at the front.
"That's fine too!"
He returned pretty quickly, now with a paper cup full of ice water. He could have just gotten some out of the jug of ice water, but he preffered to alchemize it from the regular water. Simple really. Just sucking away some of the heat energy.
"So, are you game for some work, or are you just a pretty face, sis?"

Phae continued munching on her cotton candy as she watched Onira moving around the stall but she darn near choked when he asked her to cook burgers on her sword. She cleared her throat and smiled at him.
"Well conjure me up a sword then ohh brother of mine." she said with a giggle. She wouldn't dare use her family heirloom to cook hamburgers on but this would be a rather nifty.
She hoped off the counter and finished her cotton candy before throwing her empty cone away. She wiped her hands.
"Oh, and thanks for the compliment." she smiled.

"Oh please, sis. Don't discredit my work with such a word as 'congure'. I prefer words like mold, or transform. But not congure. I would say Junpei congures, but I..."
Onira walked into the back room once again. He placed an already blazing palm onto one of the metal chairs, and engulfed the object in light. As it did so many times before, the light dissipated, revealing a new object. There was no longer a chair, but quite a large sword resting against the ground. Onira dragged it to the front.
"I merely change."
He gave a grin and handed the sword to Phae, turning back to the front counter to take the next customer's order. He was an older looking man, maybe in his mid to late fifties. He was gruff, but one could easily tell he was very happy to be at the fair, like most people there.
"Well Phae, looks like it's time for you to get crackin'. We got one hamburger with cheese, ketchup, and a pinch of onions, on a toasted sesame bun. Can you do that sis?"
He gave her a grin, obviously a little pleased with the turnout. He wasn't expecting a burger to be the first thing up, but it turned out nicely. Time to see if Phae was a good cook.

Phae grinned and tilted her head to the side rocking back and forth on her heals.
"So sorry big brother, didn't mean to get you all upset and offended. Extra tasty bugers coming up I assure you." she laughed.
She took the sword at swung it for a minute hearing the blade slice through the air. It was perfectly balanced but she didn't expect too much when it was just a fancy grill anyway. She grinned this is sooo a waste of magic.
"One tasty cheeseburger comin' up!" she said happily.
"Inferno!" she cried for show and the sword was light with flame she threw the meat on it and immediatly it began to sizzle. With a flick of the wrist she flipped the burger and giggled. "Too fun!"
A few minutes later and the meat was done easily as she flipped it onto a plate with bun and cheese at the ready.
"There you are sir!"

Onira gave Phae a grin, watching her as she grilled up the burgers. She was pretty fast, but no flame could get the heat in like an alchemist could. Flame only applied heat. Alchemy got it right in there. However, the taste tended to be better with actual fire. Fire gave a sort of BBQ taste, whereas alchemy tasted more like a really good microwave. Almost the same, but something just seemed a little off. Not quite right. Of course, Onira preffered to say that alchemy made it too perfect for the human being, but down inside he knew. Humans could not approve upon nature, just change it. That was alchemy. Modify an object, not better it.
"Smells good sis. Looks like the condements are up to me."
Onira spurted some ketchup quickly on the bun, then plopped the burger on. He then put the cheese on top of the patty, and sprinkled some already diced onions ontop of that. For the finale, he put just a little bit more ketchup on, and tossed a bun onto that.
"Awesome."
He took the burger (ontop of a paper towel) and gave it to the customer. The stranger then gave a thanks, and went on with his merry day.
"Another satisifed person."
Onira gave a grin and turned around, giving Phae the thumbs up.
"Good job!"

Phae watched the satisfied customer go away he seemed rather pleased with the show and the burger. She uncast the spell and sat the sword to the side. Ohh this was going to be a fun day. She had never been to the Babylos fair and it was nice that they could be here she and Onira friends again close like siblings and from her end in the least she was happy.
His kiss and then his death had taken a heavy toll on her but then he had come back changed which had been a relief that he was alive but still.. he wasn't HER Onira. But soon he had remembered who he was and now he was the Onira that she had called friend. They had decided to be brother and sister and for Phae this was a way to be close and still be able to love Junpei the love of her life. She silently wondered what he was doing at the moment and then turned her attention back to Onira for the time being. She would find Junpei and ask him later. He'd probably laugh about her cooking burgers on a sword but man.. how fun!
"I didn't know there was a festival every year. It's really fun though. How come your working instead of out there riding and playing games and stuff?" she asked curiously.

"Well, to be honest, I'm the only food joint on this side of the fair. There's two on the other end, but anyone over here only has me. Really puts on a lot of pressure if you think about it. I got a whole half of the fair coming to me for grub, which pretty much means I've got half of Babylos asking for my food. Incase you hadn't yet noticed, almost everyone in Babylos is here for the fair. It's nice. A little loud, but very magical."
Onira gave her a smile, actually a little surprised that not more people had been heading his way. Of course, you didn't go to the fair for food, you went for the rides and the attractions. It then occured to Onira. He had an obligation. An obligation to show Phae some of the most popular places. Show her the really fun stuff. That as his duty. To make sure Phae had fun. Atleast for a little while.
"Be right back!"
Onira dissapeared into the rear of the shop, letting only the sound of cooking and the light of alchemy shine through the small cracks between the door and the rim. He was in there for maybe two minutes before the lights and sound stopped, and he walked out of the back. He was carrying two large, already sliced pizzas. One was cheese, and the other, pepperoni. He slowly put them on the front counter, and then pushed down on the bar beneath the counter. A large table flipped out, and with a big push, extended into a ten-foot long bench sticking out of the booth. Onira was almost a blur as he moved, sliding a big bunch of pizzas, burgers, and hotdogs down the bench, as well as throwing already prepared cotton candies into the holes, so that anyone could just grab them.
"There we go!"
He stuck a plank of wood into a slot on the counter, which read...
Be Back in 1/2 an Hour
He then placed his hands behind the shack-like pull down door, and of course, pulled down. The back was closed, and all that remained was a feast-like table for all to grab what they wanted. Even bottles of ketchup, mustard, and relish were there, and diced onions.
"Okay, sis...!"
He opened the side-door to exit the booth and let the sun rain down on him, looking towards the fair that lay ahead.
"This should hold them off for atleast half an hour, so for that time, what would you like to do?"
