"Wow!" Adeline exclaimed, rushing to the Ferris Wheel window.
Adeline glanced outside, amazed at the height and Wraith in the distance. She saw the peak of the castle, and the way the sun was directly behind it, shining gloriously upon the grounds. The amusement park was located outside the city, but she could still see the faint outline of the skyscrapers.
"What's so fascinating about a Ferris Wheel?" Elias asked, jealous that she was paying more attention to the view, when she had a perfectly good one beside her. In fact, he was a better view than the boring castle.
"It's pretty," Adeline said, referring to what she saw. "Look Elias, the sun is perfectly aligned behind the castle. What a rare occurrence."
Elias nonchalantly looked out the Ferris Wheel and shifted his eyes to her. Adeline pressed her hands against the glass like a child. He suppressed a smile. He liked watching her happy and excited like this, no matter how childish her reaction was.
