Oak's hunch was partially right. No, Rinnica didn't spend thirty minutes apologizing to each person she bumped into, but she did stop to acknowledge and apologize briefly, even tearing up a bit if someone had an attitude with her. Luckily Oak was there for her to hide behind. A big, looming bear made for a very effective bodyguard, and they would leave her alone once they realized they were walking together.
Rinnica really enjoyed the jesters. One of them on stage took notice of her and gracefully pulled a flower from what seemed to be out of thin air and hand it to her. "Thank you!" she said happily, and the jester bowed and went on his way. Rinnica grinned as she placed the flower in her hair, her decorative desires now being satisfied after the previous events. Being in the crowds and in the creative activity of the festival seemed to fill the young dryad with energy as she ran around, looking at all the stands and performances.
"Do I dance?" she replied. "I'm only the best in my village! Well, I'd like to think anyway," she added with a giggle. "Dancing is very frequent in my village, we do it all the time. I don't think it's stageworthy, but I've done it for a long time." As Oak went on to tell his story, Rinnica laughed at the thought of Oak dancing in full costume. "Hehehe! I wish I would have been there to see it! Though I would not mind dancing with you one day!" she said with a teasing grin.
As Rinnica spoke, she watched the dancers go on about their performance. The belly dancers especially caught her interest, and she pointed it out to Oak. "The dancers here, Vi Alana's dancing style is a lot like this! It's a mixture of this and..." Rinnica looked around eagerly, then pointed to the classic ballroom group. "This one!"

"We can't just yank out the arrows this time. We must be careful about this so that he doesn't lose too much blood," Dawn murmured to Mist. The two began to prepare the areas surrounding the arrows in Gold, numbing the area with a special balm. The balm seemed to help Gold a lot, as his cries began to lessen to small moans of pain. One grabbed a small scalpel to make an incision big enough for the arrow to slide out, while the other quickly dressed the wound to prevent excess bleeding.
"And this had to happen on a festival day, my word. Have mercy!" Mist said as she dressed the wound. "You both are very brave to be taking on such missions during this time," she added. The two continued to dress and numb the wounds with the balm. "Well, this will last for a few hours. We will keep Gold here to change out the bandages and provide medicine for him. Maxwell, how bad is the injury on Elijah?"

Kain kept his gaze forward as Eva spoke. Of course, she would be in hiding. That being said, there had to have been much more elves that she had let on. Surely they all weren't concentrated in that one village? Was that why the Witch wanted that village specifically to burn? Kain couldn't help but feel panic beginning to surge in his chest, and all he could say was a quick "Fair enough."
The tiefling made sure to keep his mouth shut as he walked and observed the festival. Some of the dancers had come off of the stage and into the crowds to dance with them. Two fairly young primary school aged children spun circles around both Kain and Eva. Unprepared in the slightest for the activity, Kain stumbled around trying to dodge them, only to fall on his backside as the children ran off. With a groan of pain, Kain wondered if it was better to have stayed indoors for tonight.
"I think...that we should probably head back," Kain then announced, trying to play off the situation as normal as possible. As he was getting up, he caught sight of green fabric and brown fur. He turned and saw Rinnica and Oak talking amongst themselves.

Rinnica turned to see Kain and Eva, almost doing a double take as she didn't recognize the tiefling. With Eva not as a mare anymore, Rinnica didn't recognize Eva to be Eva. "Oak... one second," Rinnica said. She then began to make her way towards the two, wanting to see if the tiefling was okay and intending to thank him for treating her well at the prison camp, but suddenly a wave of pink petals overshadowed the dryad and quickly formed into a woman.
"Rinnica, Rinnica!" Mariya shouted. "He's coming! He said 'yes!'"
"What? Who's coming?" Rinnica asked. It then dawned on her just who she was talking about, and Rinnica would have shrieked had she not have covered her mouth. "N-No! Oh Mariya if I find out you're joking!"
"It's true, all of it's true! He told me to come tell you! He said he would be here soon!"
Rinnica was near breathless with the news. "O-Oh, Oh my gosh! What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?!" Rinnica panicked as she ran around the now-merging groups of Mariya and Oak, and Kain and Eva. She landed near Eva, not even thinking about who she could have been, and held onto her face. "Tell me what I'm gonna do!" she shouted.
As Rinnica ran about, Kain couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Rinnica squishing Eva's face out of nowhere, and turned his head to hide his grin.
