House Penrose|Skyheort, Talen'sul

[Kender Bard]

Noel was much recovered by the time the band reached Talen'sul. He led the way up to the gates of the great city, but stopped in puzzlement at all the cheering and noise coming from the city.

"Awfully busy looking," he commented, watching a train of people heading into the city with banners and wagons.

"I don't remember there being any holidays this time of year," Cobalt mused. He went out and stopped the nearest person. "Excuse me, can you tell us what's going on?"

"Why," the commoner laughed, "It's a celebration! Queen Lya and King Shadow have had their heir, Princess Luminous. The celebration's to last a week or two at least."

"Hm... This is going to make meeting with them a bit harder," Audra mutters. "So, are we going to continue at any rate, or take a breather to see the celebration?"

Nyala surveyed the crouds and wrinkled her nose. The scent that wafted from all this was at once pleasing with the sweet aroma of food and drink and horrid with the stench of so many people packed in the streets, primped and perfumed for the occasion.

The she-wolf said nothing, letting Noel take the decision. Nyala would follow her pack alfa out of obligation, but she would heartily enjoy a little time to loosen up a bit. More importantly, she needed to bolster her ego a bit and shrug off this opressive dark cloud that has collected over her head since they left Ilyamen.

"You all can do as you please," Noel remarked happily. "I'm going to go check in with my sister, and you're welcome to join me, or you can take off for the fairs. If we split up, though, let's meet back at the gates at sundown so we can make some plans."

[Toyoll]

Nyala's eyes shone, grateful, her wolfish grin* returning. She quickly turned to the others with a playful growl, tail raised, "Anyone fancy a drink?"

The she-wolf was eager to go, but it was dull drinking alone. Her shell-shaped ears swiveled, snatching snippets of mirth, music and dance. Nyala was surprised to find herself beginning to be swept away with them.

(( * no pun intended))

((...*whince* Has everyone already split up?^^"""))

[Devon]

(OMG.....I just noticed this post after seeing the reply request topic. My bad!!!)

Devon hadn't been to a fair in a long time, but he'd rather not act childish in front of the others. Looking between Noel and Nyala, Devon made his decision. "Uh well I don't your sister would want a bunch of noisy knights in her home, so I'll go join Nyala."

[Kender Bard]

"I'll go with Noel," Cobalt says quickly; too quickly. Noel struggles not to grin. "Then you all have fun and I'll see you at dusk." He chuckles and walks off with Cobalt.

((You guys go off and enjoy the sights and I'll throw something at you to contend with. ))

((Oki doki!^^= but....um....what about Audra? Erm. Well, Acadia, just join us if you want! I'll start a new thread.))

((Acadia is taking off until Sunday to help her wrist heal.))
