[ you know for as much as these thursday evenings suck, it's hard to be unhappy surrounded by friends and the delicious, amazing scent of fried food....
... that is to say rondo's sitting wherever the group's decided to make camp this evening with a giant turkey leg in one hand and a lion stuffed animal in the other that he's leaning on, looking out at the games.
momf. a dog tail appears behind him and wags from side to side as he eats. tasty. ]
I'm glad nothing happened like last week. [ Though our group gets smaller, it feels almost consistent, now. It's comforting. ] I guess there's no lord of the pier to upset...
[ stands there with a turkey leg in hand, himself, just sort of staring out at everything.
there's the worried Hope Mr. Daan is alright thought, but fortunately he no longer thinks that everyone can see him naked and is mostly just vibing here. ]
Imagine if there was a piermaster. Probably be chasin' us off if we didn't pay 'em.
[ there's a huff of a laugh at that. he looks out, absently, munching his food, leaning a little further against his stuffed animal like a pillow. ]
Mm. [ ... ] Have you ever been to the Sacred Flame Festival in Flamesgrace? The festivities are a little austere, but... I love it. It's so wonderful to see the way the town lights up with all the pilgrims, and there's nowhere prettier in all of Orsterra for the snow.
I hope... if things settle down at home, I'd like to bring Cordelia there, next year. If you all have found the dragonstones, then... hopefully, she can finally come visit.
No, we never did get to Flamesgrace durin' Aelfric's time, though we kept swingin' through for different reasons. Think the last big holiday that we were able to catch was Sealticge's festival, though we did get to enjoy a feast together on our journey durin' Saint's Day... [ thinking as he noms on his food. ]
Maybe when we get back, I'll send word to the Ravus manor and see if we can all go to it together. [ smiling, a little boyishly crooked. ] Get to see the Flameguard in the flesh, just a bit older than what I've been knowin' so far.
rondo sits back a little bit, and his smile warms. ]
I'd make sure you got the best seats in Flamesgrace for all the performances - well, I guess, Miss Ophilia probably would first! But I'd at least make sure I saved you extra roast. I'd love to have all of you. And - I could finally meet this Therion, too, and thank him properly.
[ it really is crazy to think about, sometimes - the little places their lives cross over. ]
...I wonder what kind of Flameguard I am, in your time. [ If I'm still alive, at least. I wonder if I've been able to help people as much as Sir Sazantos did. ]
Haha, don't worry, I won't. I'll do my best to avoid monsters as a whole.
[ that's a big ass sea monster... but he easily gives her a smile and a little shoulder nudge. ]
I went for a swim in the lake with Pesti earlier this week, though. It was really nice... I really took for granted water sources that don't have leeches.
[ frowning. ] It was strange... I didn't expect that. Maybe... maybe that means someone who is possessed won't lash out tonight, if it really was a monster. Since... they did it already.

[ hehe. this means nothing, but it's fine. ]
I wish we had fairs like this at home. It's wonderful.
no subject
I think that'd count plenty enough. We're just borrowin' it.
[ picks a piece off his turkey leg instead of gnawing on it like a heathen. for now. ]
The festivals we've got back home are so much smaller than all this, even at the bigger ones. Really is amazin'.

There's still a monster in the ocean, so don't get any ideas.

[A little too much for your own good.
she looks at the offered cotton candy, considering it, before she accepts it with a sigh.]
