"Is that her?" Monica whispered too loudly as they reached Fala's stall. "She's beautiful--you dog, you!" she adds, elbowing Fai in the ribs. "I should have known there was a reason you wanted to go so soon!"
"Really, Monica, I have no idea what you're talking about," Fai said blandly, taking the large bag from her. "Fala, my dear, you look exhausted," he said as he headed for the horsewoman. "I hope you can sleep on the train."
"Hiii! I'm Monica!" Monica said, practically bouncing. "It's so good to meet a friend of Fai!"
"This is Monica, my boss's significant other," Fai said. "She's here to... to be honest, I'm not sure WHAT she's here for," he admitted, looking blankly at the blonde.

"He does tend to get distracted," Monica said in a conspiratorial tone. "Why just the other day he spent an entire afternoon taking apart a skelevision. Ah, and then there was the--"
"I must assure you that I was doing it purely for scientific reasons," Fai said. "But we will not be so distracted, I am quite looking forward to seeing Los Muertos."
"Okay, if you swear," Monica said. "Take care of him, please, Miss Falair. We've grown quite fond of him," she added before leaning up and kissing Fai on the cheek. "I'll see you when you get back!" she said before heading off with a wave. "Have a good trip!"
"Well..." Fai said, knowing that his fall from Horseman grace had been exposed, "shall we?"

"I've never been there," he admits. "It's farther south than I ventured before returning, but from what I've been told, it's a town filled with the Halloween undead. A lovely place, I'm sure. I do so appreciate the undead in this world, they're aesthetically pleasing." Skeletal features were a big part of the Famine world, after all. "Albeit, a bit... foolish," he added, thinking of Monica in particular.
They reached the train station soon enough and Fai maneuvered through the mass of people. Those that realized what they were quickly moved out of the way, but some were so busy going here and there that they didn't even notice. "That, my dear, is a train," he adds, stopping to admire the hulking, vicious looking caboose. "Admirable, that these scarelings come up with such fascinating toys."

"I see," he said, looking thoughtful for a long moment. 'Well, I cannot judge him," he decided after a moment. "To each their own, of course. I do hope that he's found a job he enjoys."
Idly he searched through his various pockets and hidden stash, pulling out a small box of candy. "Would you care for some candy, my dear?" he offers, looking the epitome of creepy man offering candy. "I don't believe it does anything, but I might have mixed one or two of my experiments in accidentally. But there's no need to worry, they shouldn't be too strong after this length of time."
