Thread: Where it all started (Brainy Girl x Source Code)

Of course I can expect you to go today. In fact I do expect you to go today. Because after you appease your Uncle you can then go to the festival. Durihan said as he set his hands on his hips, glaring at her but not in any cruel or mean way. Just in the way like a teacher or parent would glare at a student or child that they were onto them. That whatever Phaele was up too Durihan wouldn't let it happen. And I am not arguing that it won't be fun, but you are royalty. You have to take care of business and the needs of others before you have fun. People are depending upon you and you know that already. Why do I have to keep telling you? Durihan asked with a little grumble in his voice. But then again Phaele was always a stubborn one. Even in the face of reason if she didn't want to do something more then likely she wouldn't. And this was no different of a situation. Instead of walking down the halls of the castle, Phaele and Durihan would be walking to the stables of the castle. Instead of sitting down for breakfast and idle conversation with her Uncles, Phaele and Durihan would be sitting down on saddles. And of cousre... Instead of talking about suitors and the proper etiquette that followed... Phaele would talk to Durihan about all the fun things they would do. The girl more then buttering up the knight with promises of tourney games and swordsmanship. One only imagined why they weren't stopped. Maybe the guards felt the same way that Phaele did about herself, that she was so far from the throne that it didn't matter. But she was still royalty, she stilled needed protection right? Durihan simply waving the guards off as Phaele and himself passed by the castle gates on horse back. Just like Phaele had said there was a festival going on. And even though it was still morning the festival was in full swing. Jugglers juggling sticks and knives, fire breathers breathing fire. It was quite the event and one that happened every two years in fact. With a rumble in their stomachs the two would stop for some delicious and sweet festival food. Kids running around in masks, even spirits that looked to be children themselves ran hand in hand with human kids. There were a number of spirits trying to sell wares even, and since Thalrin was an open hub for travelers the festival was the perfect opportunity for visiting spirits. Fire spirits from the north really was all that visited. The Earth spirits stayed in their forests where most of the water spirits were absent. Any wind spirits usually stayed briefly, finding more joy in moving with the wind then staying in one spot. Where is Senna your highness? I have expect her magic abilities is detecting when you are out of the castle. Durihan stated, laughing before a child came up to pull on his pants. The man looking down to find a child reaching up to him, wanting to ride on his shoulders. This made Durihan laughed, quick to pick the child up and settle him on his shoulders, each leg dangling off in front of him as he walked. One thing was for sure. If you walked with Phaele, people expected you to be as generous and caring as she was. And boy was Phaele caring for her people.
