"Hard, sweaty, and hot. It's helped make me stronger."

"I had to be shirtless to do it."

The tip of Nyx's nose went pink. "I mean, but did you get to build the actual burial chambers?"

"yeah! It was even hotter there!"

"I wish we could see them," she murmured wistfully. "I don't think anyone's allowed in, though."

"It's just coffins."

Nyx, disappointed, slumped slightly. "Well, I guess it's back to the house, then."

"Yep!" They went back to the house.

"So, where to first?" Beckett asked. "Thank God the old man finally left. Talk about delusions of grandeur…anyways, I'm guessing that you wanna find a candy store, right Pepper? And is there anything you're looking for, Iv?"
He shoved one hand into his pocket and flipped off the forest with the other. Goddamn trees.

“Nothing comes to mind.” Ivchenko puts out his cigarette, putting his hands in his pockets. “I’ll come wherever you all go.”

They appeared on the front lawn, and Nyx, shuddering slightly with the chill, buttoned her jacket back up, having undone it in the warm Egyptian night. It was late afternoon.

"That was fun!"

"Yeah, it was." Nyx looked up at the enormous house. "Shall we go inside?"

"Yep!" He said, walking in

Nyx followed him, rubbing her chilly hands together. "I wonder where everybody else is."

"They went to the candy store."

"Oh." Nyx nodded. Probably to get Peppermint even more candy, she thought.

"yes… like peppermint needs more candy…"

"So, where to first?" Beckett asked. "Thank God the old man finally left. Talk about delusions of grandeur…anyways, I'm guessing that you wanna find a candy store, right Pepper? And is there anything you're looking for, Iv?"
He shoved one hand into his pocket and flipped off the forest with the other. Goddamn trees.

“Nothing comes to mind.” Ivchenko puts out his cigarette, putting his hands in his pockets. “I’ll come wherever you all go.”

"I've got no clue either," Beckett said. "Pepper, you wanna lead the way?" He was sort of familiar with the general small-town layout, but not with this one in particular. Plus, Peppermint seemed to have some sort of sixth sense when it came to sugar.

"Yeah!" Peppermint led the group out of the forest and down seemingly random roads, before they stopped in front of a candy store. The store had wide windows, revealing a colorful interior, and red-and white awnings. "Found it!" The girl pushed open the door, giggling as the bell rang. A woman with bright pink hair and a red-and-white striped dress approached the trio. "I like your hair, miss! And your dress, too!"

Cora would've loved this, Beckett thought as he entered the store. It reminded him of one his family had gone to up north. Big baskets of colorful taffies lined the counters, and other loose candies were held similarly. The cases themselves housed all types of chocolates. On the other side of the shop there was row of stools and another counter, which was in front of an old-fashioned soda fountain. Beckett walked over to the checkout.
"One dark chocolate toffee, please," he said.

In the candy store, Ivchenko couldn’t help but feel almost out of place. He’d never been to any place like this. But despite being unaccustomed to the area, Ivchenko decided to get something. A lollipop. That sounded good. He scanned the selections that were available.

"Do you wanna go find them?" They were inside now, and it was blissfully warm.

"Nah…" He sighed
