Ignite the Sun

"Here you go..." Calen grunted and placed Auren on the sofa in the common room. "Now we can prepare for the festival."

"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Cassian raised an eyebrow. "Each of us has two outfits, and none of them are suitable for celebrations."

"I have three." Isara pointed out. "But you do have a point, nothing we own is particularly... festive."

"I think we can just go in our normal outfits." Elira said. "I doubt many people in mountainfall have fancy clothes either way."

"Sure, but if you want to look fancy we can probably come up with something." Calen stated. "For example, the Isa’s protective robe looks quite elegant, she could put that on - Cass could use the pauldron with his crest, and add a few belts for a military kind of look."

"Not a bad idea." Isara nodded and disappeared into her room, presumably to retrieve the robe.

"I’ll pass." Cassian scoffed.

"Your choice." He shrugged. "Ellie could maybe grow flowers to put in her hair, or adorn her dress - or something."

"I don’t want to stand out too much." Elira approached one of the potted plants given to her by Sylara, made a single white flower bloom, and then picked it and tucked it behind her ear. "That’s as festive as I’m willing to go."

"What about you?" Isara emerged from her room, already wearing the robe.

"I think I’ll follow Cass’ example and simply not change anything. Anyway, it seems like we’re ready - does anybody know where that festival actually takes place?"

"Sylara said to go to the wall west of the fortress." Elira answered.
