( the weather reminds him of that sunny beach, if drier; and further differentiating it from that place is the distinct lack of dinosaurs, replaced with curious buildings, large and mismatched, and lots of lights — and people. perhaps closer to the florida he only just left, with gil and alice and katniss, but there's no complaining about the opportunity to go from one bright place to another, with no time to get readjusted to chill space at all.
(which isn't to say he doesn't think on it, however, break's curious insistence on coming to a place like this, roping the lot of them into it — or some of them at any rate, a large group finding their ways here regardless — the timing of it after what ahiru had to say about recent events.)
he doesn't hide his interest in this las vegas, and doesn't see any point to it. instead, he wanders blithely past signs setting down age restrictions, taking in the sights like the crowds, the architecture, and the lights (and wonders, at the smells, just how well gil's commitment to quitting smoking is going to hold up here). it's noisy and exciting, which means there's plenty of people-watching to be had and mischief in which to get.
he can be found watching the card games curiously, tables set up a little ways beyond the slots, a long way from the go fish chrono showed him when — well, not a time to be dwelt upon in a place like this; or perhaps he's spending time with one of his fellow transports, excitedly telling you ALL ABOUT the excellent new book he's reading (and if you're particularly unlucky, he's just found excalibur with you); observing the slots machines; considering the buffet; or listening very attentively while a stranger tells him about...this may be the time to interrupt, honestly. )
everywhere and open!
