9S looks up to snap at the stranger, but the words die on his tongue before they can leave his mouth. Oh! This human looks pretty young. A Carnival member when he looks beneath the glamour, though 9S hasn't seen him around before. New, then? Either way, because the stranger is young, 9S' at least makes an effort to curb his irritation.

"I'm fine, thanks." He uses the lamppost to help steady himself. Heels are officially the worst. "You're from the Carnival, right? I haven't seen you around before."
