Lark had billed his performance as a celebration of all things color, which was a fitting description of the entire festival itself. Bramble seemed especially eager to see it. Cosmo had only seen it in bits and pieces, so he was most interested in seeing how it all came together. #WIPSnips

Primrose and Amaranthus sat and stared at each other for a few minutes, the silence filling the room with an awkwardness neither was willing to break. But at last, Primrose took it upon herself to make a token effort. “So, you are to be my helper for this 'festival of color,'” she said. #WIPSnips

“Of course, your majesty,” Primrose demurred, but inside her thoughts were spinning. Overseeing festival preparations had always been her job and hers alone. There was no way she was going to share it with anyone, let alone a young prince whose only claim to fame was fetching a stone! #WIPSnips

More than anything else, she wished she could go back to the time before she knew about the shadows. When her greatest concern was making sure the Festival of Colors went well and she would get all the credit for it. Well, she still wanted that, but it felt more hollow than it used to. #WIPSnips

He gently lifted the fairy princess and looked for someplace more comfortable to set her, surreptitiously scanning her as he did. He remembered all too well the last time he'd requested to examine a fairy and how it did not go over well with anyone. But the curiosity was still there... #WIPSnips

Miss Pavonis had written to him (once he had informed her of his plans) that someone would be at the station to meet him, but the only distinguishing characteristic she had given was that they would be wearing a red scarf. Not the most distinctive way to single someone out, he thought. #WIPSnips

He was not entirely surprised when her response was so incredibly roundabout that he couldn't tell whether she would say yes or no until he got to the end of her letter. It was a tentative, “if that kind of thing actually works, then why not?” kind of yes, but a yes all the same. #WIPSnips

"[...] he just moved on to another target. One who was a little more forthcoming. Strangely so, according to those who know him.” She flicked her eyes to Bramble, whose expression did not change from the slightly annoyed, slightly aloof look he had affected when she started her story. #WIPSnips

“Here's where we are in Echolastein,” he said, pointing to one part of the map, and trailing his finger downwards. “Here's Staerheil, where Miss Pavonis lives for most of the year. But here,” he dragged his finger down the map, into the ocean and stopped on a small island, “is Snia Snix.” #WIPSnips
