Upon hearing someone from behind Sonata quickly wiped his face clear of any remaining tears, sniffed back hard, and turn around pretending as if nothing in the last three minutes or so just took place.
"Huh-, what? Sorry." Sonata muttered before snorting and taking a hard breath of air through his nostrils.
"I had a piece of candy corn stuck up my sinus somehow, but I got it now" Smooth he thought, a brilliant excuse for the sniffling. No one would see through his lie.
"When did they catch me? Oh, in the mansion yeah." The wolf threw a paw back behind his head in a laughed. He scratching nervously at the back of his head as a faint blush crossed his cheeks thinking back again at how embarrassingly uncool he had been panicking towards the end of his game.
"I uh, somehow got lost in the maze. Not to confuse you with the mansion itself, but I found a maze of mirrors within the mansion and lost my way. I hit a dead end and after a while of twiddling my thumbs an attendant nabbed me from where I was." Sonata paused for a moment considering the lie he just told wondering if he had really come off as convincing. Wanting to shift the conversation off himself he returned the same question to the wolf in front of him.
"What about you? Obviously you didn't make it to the end otherwise you wouldn't be here."
