Welcome to Gaia! ::

Earendil picked up one of the rings and knelt behind Miyuki. He put the ring in her hand and held it with her.

"Like this," he murmured, curling her arm towards her body as if it were a frisbee. "And then you fling your arm out ..." He showed her how. "And throw it like this towards the posts. It might work a little better that way."

Might, if she could get the hang of it.

"Ah, you were doing better at the end," Remiel said apologetically, "once you were getting used to throwing that way. There is a bit of a line now, so I must let the next person go, but perhaps you could come back later and win something, yes?"

He smiled warmly at Miyuki. "I hope you have a very good day!" he said brightly.

Earendil took Miyuki's hand and put his other arm around Lin's shoulders. "Well?" he asked with a smile, looking from one to the other. "What shall we do next?"

There were other games, there was the food, the music, the dancing, stalls where people were selling their goods at lower prices ...

Earendil shrugged. "I don't know," he replied honestly. "They might have different things, but since Aerin just told us yesterday that there was going to be a festival, I don't know how much time they would have had to prepare anything special. They might just be selling their wares at different prices, perhaps. Cheaper than usual, as a celebratory treat."

He smiled. "But I think it would be worth checking out."

"Indeed," Earendil smiled. "Who knows what they might have been up to once their shops had been moved?"

Personally, he was curious at how quickly books had replaced the scrolls the people had used until very recently. And yet, for how new they were, they seemed to be of quite a good quality, just like everything else the Sky Elves made.

Earendil looked at the vendors curiously. "I can't help but wonder if they don't feel like they're missing out on the rest of the festival when they're stuck in their stalls all day," he mused. "Wouldn't you want to get out and have fun instead of selling things all day?"

He spotted the boy, Artemis, in a booth filled with his leather works - with several items he hadn't seen before - just as the boy spotted him and waved cheerfully. He waved back.

Earendil laughed and squeezed Miyuki's hand. "Of course we can," he grinned. He let go of her hand. "Go ahead, we'll catch up with you soon enough."

She seemed like she had energy to get rid of, and he was more than happy to let her go on her own. He wasn't worried about her - this was a good place, full of good people, what could there possibly be to fear?

"It's possible," he said, turning to Lin. "It's another perspective on the people, after all."
