Winter Lights Festival (Come One, Come All)

[Ronin]

Ronin was beginning to feel comfortable around Adi. She seemed to be a lot like him, and, as vain as it may seem, he liked people like him. The glasswork, the falconry, the social awkwardness, these things weren't necessarily rare in Wind Reach, but these two seemed to embrace them all. Ronin tried to focus on what she was saying, but his mind wandered beyond his control. Even more than she reminded him of himself, she reminded him on Maisa. His demeanor changed slight as her face flashed through his mind.

Ronin shook his head slightly as if to physical shake the thoughts from his mind. He realized that she had asked him something but didn't know how long it had been since she had asked it.

"Oh, sorry. Um, in my free time I like to spend time hunting or training my birds. I've always been good with birds."

Ronin wasn't lying, he had quite the affinity for them. He was probably closer to his birds than to any of the people in Wind Reach. However, Ronin would rather talk about her.

"I noticed your earrings, did you make any of them?"

[Kovac]

Just as his question to Twik left his lips, Sira appeared next to him. Kovac knew who she was. Sira was the human Wind Eagle. A curious creature that was often the topic of whispered conversation. And she was 'with' Addy, in some way. That gave him a completely unwarranted twinge of jealously. After all, Aidara was never his, and he was Shayth's. He frowned slightly. Such complexities of relationships were easily avoided when he could simply take a Drudge when he wanted one. But meddling friends had nurtured some long dead sense of morality within him. Feeble and anemic, but present nonetheless. He nodded to the kelvic, and listened as Sira and the teenager interacted. Their conversation drew the interest of Feyra, whom Kovac had spotted watching them at a distance. Feyra he knew too, in a cursory way at least. She was a glassworker, like Kalle. But Kovac had more in common with Feyra than his ex, for she too was a mongrel, a half-blood like himself. Her father, he believed, was a bowyer, like his own father. Feyra, too, received a curt nod from the archer, before his gaze fell again to the girl sitting on the floor. Fortune telling. Panhandling with painted cards more like. Kovac would not admit to himself the appeal of knowing the future, but with a shrug he stooped to sit cross-legged in front of Twik. "I'm game kid, so like this?" The Avora picked up the cards and fumbled to mix them up, having to retrieve a few stray ones that fell out of the jumble in his hands. He looked up sheepishly at Twik, then Sira and Feyra. After what seemed a painfully long chime, Kovac got the deck straightened around and place them on the ground between he and the young inarta. His gaze fell to the girl, one of anticipation and some skepticism.

OOC: I decided to split off my fortune telling stuff to this thread, seeing as this one is getting long and populous. Anyone is welcome!

I'm sad that this thread didn't have more happen. There were plenty of PC's that entered yet only a a few participated. Instead of having your PC hang back in the crowd and wait for someone else to start a conversation, the best way to get things going is to take the initiative!
