Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright then." Just as they had decided what to order, the customers ahead of them had been serviced, and so FD and Nils went forward to order. "Two orders of your Spicy Sacaen shishkabobs, please," FD requested to the food vendor. FD gave a glance at Nils as he ordered and smiled before turning back to the vendor momentarily to pay the gold.

(( Good golly you guys post fast X_x;;;;; like...REALLY FAST ))

In all honesty, Ephraim really hadn't been around in Learania all that long to actually call this an anniversery for him. It was more of a celebration but to others, having this place around for 3 years. Wasn't that bad..and the towns were quite lively too which made the prince feel a little left out but not entirely. He arrived at the town in time to see Nino walk off the stage and everyone else scatter to do their own thing.

What he could do he didn't know..to be honest, there was actually alot of things that a person could do here. Win something, eat, play, dance..it was like the festival back on Magvel all over again.

He passed by a knock the bottle over game, the typical ring toss, ball in basket..all the usual stuff a person normally sees. There was one that caught his eye..and it wasn't the vendor shouting everywhere hoping to get customers. Curious, Ephraim walked over and eyeballed what was in front of him. An empty bottle laid on its side on a small wooden platform that was pointed toward the player and a stick..with a hoop tied to a string that was tied to a stick. He blinked, almost looking at this game with stupidity as he didn't know what the hell to do with it. At first, he simply watched a child try for it, not knowing what to do either. The vendor came over and showed the people how the game was played. The point was to get the ring around the rim of the bottle and have it stand up. Quite new to the prince if you asked him..but he decided to try it and tossed the man a few pieces of gold.

"Three tries my good friend"

Ephraim blinked, taking the stick from the man and looked at the bottle. First try, he got it half-way before the bottle decided to fall back down onto the platform and he frowned..and it wasn't because he didn't get it..it was the vendor that was seemingly mocking him. "Come now, sir, even a child can do this"

He glared, staring straight at the vendor and hooked the ring on bottle and pulled it up right, it tilted a little then stopped at the edge of the wooden platform. "Do not mock me..'good' sir" The man growled and turned, digging through a crate before throwing something at the prince. Ephraim flinched a little but caught the fuzzy looking object and blinked. "..What am I going to do with this..?" questioning the brown teddy bear prize he apparantly won. It had a red ribbon tied around the neck and was about a good 12 inches tall. He looked up and backed away from the counter, giving the man a fake smile and walked the other way.

The food smelled tauntingly good... Nils smiled, watching FD pay the vendor and then receive the food. His stomach growled softly again, reminding the bard that he really was hungry and just staring at the food wouldn't do anything to satisfy that hunger. He nodded to the vendor, saying a quick "thank you", before turning to his companion and giving him a bright smile. "Thank you, Hikaru... I owe you one."

Luna had walked back into town. 'It seems that there was a festival going on in town.' She walked around the town to see what she can do around town. She smell the spices that were around, and her stomach end up growling. 'I guess I am a little hungry.' Then she look to see what will satisfy her hunger.

Well, this certainly was interesting. The third anniversary of the construction of the castle town? Annis hadn't remembered that bit when she decided to return from traveling.

Boots tapped inaudibly on the cobblestones amongst all the noise: Children whining for toys, wives watching performances, husbands trying to win toys for their children and commenting on the performances in which the others were so deeply engrossed. Annis wasn't interested in the games, at least not yet. Her growling stomach was making her concentrate her attention elsewhere.

Her black wings twitched as a tall man that looked to be rather unsteady on his feet barreled past her, nearly knocking her right down. She bit down a comment and stood up straight again. She was near the arena... so perhaps he'd lost a battle. In any case, he was gone, so her temper died away and disappeared once more, leaving being the quiet calm she typically wore.

She had been traveling for long enough that everyone seemed unfamiliar. Then again, she hadn't really been a people person beforehand, and she didn't seem to be one now, but... there wasn't even a single familiar face. I suppose Nino already ran off somewhere, she thought. She knew there were people here she would recognize, but they were lost in the crowd. "Only question is if they'd even know how the bloody hell I am," she murmured, voice like pink cotton, soft and feminine, as she paused to check her satchel for her money.

One gloved hand moved through her dark brown hair once she'd reassured herself that she had all her coins, and she groaned as she tried to spy the stand that held the source of that tantalizing meaty smell. "For goodness sakes, where is it...? I'm only seeing carnival games," she murmured, setting off at a brisker pace.

Ninian laughed, kneeling to hug Amara. The girl really was too adorable.

"Of course, I'm having fun, Amara," she replied. It wasn't entirely a lie. "This is a big celebration for everyone."

She looked up at the mother of the four-year-old girl. "How are you, Miss Alihi?"

"Yay~" Amara giggled, hugging the dance tightly.

Alihi blinked. "Oh, right! I'm here... She laughed sheepishly. "I'm alright! Nothing too bad happening lately. The little one's starting to learn how to cook from her uncle!" The tactician said proudly.

The little girl nodded. "I can make sammiches! Uhm... sandwiches." Amara exclaimed, correcting herself a moment later.
