Heng tilted his head, looking at the little boy.
"A pirate?" he repeated. He shook his head. "That I was not," he smiled.
"Though that sounds like an.. exciting life as well. Just make sure to pack oranges," he continued, nodding.

As the Happiness Express chugged along, a wild and ecstatic holler sounded from the front of the sluggish carnival ride. "Woo-woo! All aboard the Rainbow Railway!" While the 'conductor' was away, one more passenger had climbed aboard. Having simply dashed in from the crowd, splattered with paint and totting along sugary carnival snacks and a little prize goldfish-in-a-bag, Maxwell claimed the very best seat of all: the roof of the Conductors box at the head of the train. Giggling madly with hi-jackers delight, the tiny man waved at all the people they passed while munching on his snacks. "What luck, Sir Lancelot! Front row seats! Hehehehe! Let's ride this power house onwards to Cali! We'll catch up to that runaway circus yet!"

Heng whipped his head around much faster than what you would expect of this old man.
"Oi!" he snapped at the hijacker. "Sit in a train car properly!"

It was disappointing to know he was not meeting a real pirate, however the comment of oranges threw him off. "Why would I need or-"
"Woo-woo! All aboard the Rainbow Railway!"
The conductor was obviously unhappy about the newcomer hijacking the train, but Walter didn't even have to look at the person spewing out what sounded like a series of incoherent rubbish. He would recognize the voice of that nutter anywhere. "OOOIII! MISTER RAINBOW!" quick as a bunny off his seat, darting past the conductor, nimbly jumping over the front of the cart onto the locomotive the child was beaming with a crazy grin.

As far as Maxwell was concerned, he was sitting quite proper where he was. It must have been someone else being troublesome--So the initial yell to get down was quite ignored. Though when he heard His 'name', Maxwell spun right around to beam gladly back at the young man clamoring his way. "BUNNY!!!" He waved and scoot to the edge of the Cab roof, making a spot just for Walter. "I saved a spot for you!", he proclaimed, even though it was clear (to everyone else) Walter had been on the train much longer.

Heng looked aghast. There were people not following rules and needlessly endangering themselves in his presence. And now the brightly coloured passenger was prompting for the child to climb atop of the roof of the conductor's car?
"I'm asking you politely one last time to please get off of the roof of the car," Heng said evenly.

Lee had been napping this entire time in the front car, hat pulled over his eyes. (A+ driver of course) but hearing the THUMP THUMP! Above his head he snorted awake and looked up, before seeing a pair of dangling legs on either side of the train.
"What the fuck." Was what he whispered before he grabbed the edge of the roof and pulled himself out a little to see-- SUGAR BOY. "MAX. Get off the ROOF." He was still groggy so his request came out way grumpier than it should have, and while leaning he ended up grabbing the string for the whistle.
TOOT TOOT!!! It whistled and scared living crap out of Lee himself as he jumped, "Oh my good Jesus--"

Walter hesitated with his hands at the edge of the roof but decided that the conductor must be worried because he hadn't met either of them before. "Don't worry, we are used to climbing stuff - we won't fall off!" he flashed a reassuring smile before he went up in a flash, clearly as adept at climbing as he thought he was and sat himself snugly next to Maxwell like a happy kitten. "I hoped I'd see you today, maybe we can go - is that a goldfish?"

"Who, me?" Maxwell stare innocently at the pirate of a man, whom Walter took the honors of assuring their safety to. He was about to ask if the pirate was Captain of the Train vessel, when a terribly familiar face peeked out from the cab beneath him. He wouldn't catch much of Lee's demands though. A whistle was blaring in his ear. Blinking at the sleepy driver, and assuming his demeanor was for some unrelated grudge, Maxwell Simply drew out a sugar cube from his pocket and stuffed it in Lee's face as he attended to Walter instead. "WHY YES IT IS," he yelled unnecessarily, ears ringing. "HIS NAME IS SIR LANCELOT. AND HE IS MY FAITHFUL AND LOYAL SUBJECT! SAY HELLO LANCELOT!"

If Heng was younger he might have screamed. The other passengers were whispering amongst themselves. The younger ones pointed and laughed, and some even jumped up as well.
Heng held his hands up, gesturing for the other passengers to not get any more funny ideas. He looked over at Lee, squinting.
'Do something,' he blinked.

Not much better off than his friend after the whistle went off, and certainly not after Maxwell started yelling right beside him, Walter had one hand on his left ear, trying to stop the ringing by rubbing it. "THAT'S ACE - REALLY LIKE THE NAME." He bent down towards the little fishie in the bag. "HELLO SIR LANCELOT. YOU ARE LUCKY TO BE WITH MR.RAINBOW, HE WILL TAKE YOU ON GREAT ADVENTURES!"
Straightening back up he stuck his hand in his overall pocket and fished out a lollipop. "I WOULD SHARE GUMMYBEARS BUT I ATE THEM ALL." He held up a blueberry lollipop which he then whacked on the roof of the locomotive. He unwrapped it and held out the broken pieces to Maxwell. "HERE, YOU CAN HAVE HALF." The ringing in his ears were dimming just enough for him to hear himself and adjust the volume of his voice. "It's supposed to be the kind that makes your tongue blue."

Before Harvey could even process the conductor's reply, some incredibly colorful guy ran in screaming from the crowd and leapt onto the roof of the first car. Sticking his head out the side of the cart, Harvey watched with a grin as the newcomer unapologetically made himself comfortable as the octopus crawled up after him and the conductor, stricken with sudden sternness, ordered them to come down. He thought he'd seen this guy somewhere before; maybe in HQ. Either way, he was liking this guy already.
"Hey!" Harvey called out after the two of them, getting up and sticking one leg out the side of the cart, about to join them, only to realize that there was barely any space left for a third party. He resigned himself to hanging awkwardly off the edge of the cart, one hand clinging to the roof and the other gripping at his flute to keep her from snagging on some bewildered passerby. "Great view up there, huh?"

The little fish had nothing to say, of course. It merely swam in nervous circles as the locomotive bounced and trudged along. Though Maxwell was more than glad to speak for the fish, stating loudly that Sir Lancelot was happy to meet Walter, too.
When the lollipop was offered, Maxwell beamed and screeched even louder. "HOT DANG! YOU DON'T SAY!? WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT, BUNNY. I'D TAKE A LOLLI OVER GUMMY'S ANY DAY. WANNA HOLD SIR LANCELOT?" Plucking the largest whole piece from the lollipop fragments, Maxwell stuffed it in the corner of his mouth and plopped the goldfish in Walters lap before the child could comply of his own accord. After which, he turned himself completely around to grin the biggest, widest grin at the unhappy Pirate and and the funny Balloon Boy besides him. "BETTER'N ALLA PARI! YOUSH'D SHEE FER YURSHEF!", Maxwell called back to Harvey, Beckoning the lad right on over, despite the lack of room. Maxwell would make room.....

At the sugar shove Lee made the move to bite Maxwell's hand before he stared at Heng, who blinked at him.
'What are you trying to do tell me to do something by blinking?!' he blinked back furiously to Heng cause yeah that's what was happening. Seeing that he was the driver though he looked ahead and then after a moment, he stopped the train.
"Alright everyone, train's takin' a pit stop here!" he said and looked to Maxwell and Walter, squinting to them, "If you don't get off the top of the train and sit in the cart like an actual human being so help me I will tell everyone you're ruining everything ever. E-VER..." he emphasized and he looked pretty darn serious about it.

Lee did it. The blinks were successful.
He turned back to the other passengers, calming them down.
" 'Tis a small stop. Yes, a scheduled check. No no, there er, there isn't a problem. Everything is going as, ah, as planned."
He took a breath, and marched up over to the conductor's cart, eyes narrowed and arms crossed.
If there was ever a time for Heng to draw on how intimidating he could look, it was now.
