(( Reminded me of when Ariel swam to the surface to watch the crew partying hard on the deck Cute~ ))
Kael blushed in embarrassment when he noticed that she wasn't finished with her food yet, scolding himself for being too excited to bring her around. The embarrassment quickly turned into pure glee when she told him that they can go and he led her to the venue. The streets were closed to vehicles and stalls were lined up on the sides. The main street was clear, preparing for the floats that would pass through. People were already gathering around it, waiting patiently behind the white ribbons.
"Come on!" he grinned as he brought her to the front of the line. There were a lot of people but not enough to make it feel uncomfortable; and as they stood behind the ribbon, a voice boomed from beside them and Kael was 'attacked' by a powerful arm around his neck.
"Kael! Haven't seen you since the exams." The man grinned showing his perfect teeth behind his perfect smile. He turned his perfect eyes to look at Talia and his perfect eyebrow raised in curiosity. "Who's this?" He moved towards her and gently clasped her hand in his. "Gareth. Gareth Layne. A pleasure to meet such a beautiful flower as you."
