Maria's step was light and almost bouncing she was so happy that Shadow was with her at the festival. This was like her dream coming true! To be with Shadow and have fun and explore on Earth. Well...sort of. It was Ellipsa, but Maria would have just as much fun as if it was her own world.

Shadow's suggestion caused her to turn to face him with a considering expression. "Chili dogs? No, I've never tried that before!" She smiled, tugging on his arm gently in a half hug half encouraging gesture. "Are they good? I don't mind trying it." As long as the chili wasn't too spicy she'd probably like it.
