Walker spent a short ti ditating to pass the ti. He wanted to take a walk in the city but knew that it was best saved from the morning. There would be a better effect when he woke up and saw all the decorations first hands instead of seeing the partial set up of man of the roads and market.
"I'm telling you. The masked archer is way cooler than anything else. I put on a cloak. I wear a mask. And I sneak around proclaiming I am here to save the day." Gil was dead set on his idea for a costu.
"It's so duuummbbb though. You basically just wear what you always have on and add a mask. Why not try to, you know, actually put on a costu?" Rey was trying to talk him out of it to no avail.
.
"Oh yeah? And what are you planning to wear as a costu? A sheet so you can be a ghost?" Gil had not heard of what Rey may wear yet and wanted to make fun of her idea in so revenge.
"I actually worked with Lisa especially to make a prototype set of robes. They lack the runes we can add but, they will be white green, and red. There will be a leaf on fire symbol to represent alchemy. They will be the robes we make for the mbers of the alchemy guild. I thought it was best to test it out during the festival. The old man is wearing one too." Rey tried to turn her head away from everyone but it was too clear that she was excited about all of this.
"That sounds great! I hope that everyone likes it and I can't wait to see it." Su was ever supportive and Rey couldn't help but blush with pride at the positive feedback already when she had yet to even show it off.
"Hellooooo!!!" Elise rand in to the room finding the party talking and tracing each other about costu designs. "I yelled for you all while outside but no one heard . A royal guard ca to deliver this letter to all of you." Elise handed the letter stamped with the kings' seal to the party.
"Oh! Thank you Elise. We would have never noticed since we were so caught up in our conversation. By the way, can't wait to see you and Stella matching tomorrow." Walker was excited to see everyone in costu. However, he was curious about what the letter could be.
With a quick pull, the letter was open and everyone was eagerly awaiting Walker to read it all out loud, "You are cordially invited for the social costu party in the castle grand hall as a special guest of the king and queen. Please wear any costu you so desire and feel free to bring one guest each. The party will begin at noon and go in to the late night. Guests are not required to stay for the entire duration but are required to be checked upon entry. We hope that the harvest is plentiful and full of new connections this year."
"Sounds like the castle is going to be lively too. I bet we can make an appearance there before the dancing and bonfires will start." Gil looked to be the most excited. He wanted to attend the castle party and outdo all the nobles' costus.
"I don't think the masked archer can count as a costu if you go there." Rey didn't let up at all and whale the two bickered Walker and Su continued the conversation.
"I think I will see if Alice wants to go, but I bet the high priest was already invited. Maybe you should see if your friend from the cathedral wants to go. I bet he will have a good costu, although he might want to leave his instrunt behind." Su showed a slight tinge of red on her cheeks but t Walker with a nod. She was planning to see her friends from the cathedral anyways but a castle party was very exciting.
"Don't think about asking to go to do stuffy castle party. Lisa already told that she was going to take to all the best spots." Elise knew that she had the chance to go to the castle since Gil and Rey would most likely not bring anyone. However, she would rather be out in the open air than stuck in a castle, if even only for an hour or two.
"By the way, I told my brothers and sisters that they could co and dance tomorrow night before it got too dark. Well, I sent a letter. I know It could get in a little trouble but they will love it." Rey was excited to get her siblings out. She had snuck off to the orphanage to only get yelled at to go and rest after her journey. But the harvest festival was her excuse to be out and about with everyone.
"I bet Midnight and Onyx can help you out when it cos to keeping them in line. They both have a talent for watching children." Walker was sure that the two would do it even if they didn't know the others from the orphanage were going to be at the festival with them.
"Everyone is really going to be together. I can't wait. It will be a very big day but we need it. All of us need it to unwind and relax." Walker listened to Su but had a sneaking suspicion that she had more than relaxing on her mind. He knew that she was a major fan of the sweets that ca with the food stalls and would most likely run off with Rey, Elise, and Lisa to grab a bunch. Not to ntion Midnight who would be well ahead of them the entire day when it ca to snacking.
"Let's go to sleep early. I want to be ready for anything tomorrow." Walker made the move toward his room. Sleeping early would be the best way to get to the harvest festival sooner.
