"I will greatly enjoy the company," Zinnia said as Yuu dropped off Protea to be in their care. Zinnia did not mind, of course Yue would end up babysitting her once the costume contest began. "Orie will be joining us soon, do not worry." Zeus had been scared off, no doubt Yuu's presence intimidated him. After all, he respected men more than women, therefore Yue had not intimidated him. Zolair too, seemed eager for the evening's festivities to begin. The sun was steadily going down and the trickle of people had begun. As soon as the golden hour hit the sky, the town square began to fill with music and laughter. "I will return in a moment," Zinnia assured Yue, pointing to the booth she was going to. It was right across, directly in her field of vision. Zinnia did not mind the feeling of being babysat of course, although she was rather frustrated that Yue did not trust her to protect herself.
Zinnia strode purposefully towards the booth, purchasing four pumpkin cupcakes and warm chai tea. She carried the tray carefully back towards the fortune telling both. Zinnia placed one on Zolair's table and handed one to Protea. "For... me?" She inquired, her eyes widening. "Yes," Zinnia nodded. She held up her steaming cup of tea, smiling. "A toast is in order, I suppose." Her expression was serene as she raised her glass, "to friendship," perhaps this was the start of more friends, of more people that Zinnia could rely on. The sun was hanging low in the sky, Zinnia sipped her tea, the fall chill making her shiver. The tea warmed her belly, smelling lightly of cinnamon and vanilla. Fall flavors danced on her tongue and she bit into her cupcake, careful to not get any on her costume.
"Oh Yue, it appears as though you have a customer." Zinnia nodded towards the group that was meandering towards them. Salla and Darris smiled, waving shyly. Lumier was behind them, stuffing a pastry into their mouth. "We came to have our fortunes read!" Darris declared, pulling out the chair to sit down on. Zinnia stepped to the side, allowing Yue to take over. They all knew how fortune telling worked of course. The magic was readily available to anyone who so wished to seek it, but having your fortune told by the Seer of Constantina was special; she had magic that no one else had, more reliable than any other diviner in their city. Salla, in the meanwhile, hesitantly went over to Zolair's booth to browse the magic trick wands.
Zinnia kept her eyes out of course, they had to be wary of an enemy. The sun was just going down, but the Hallow's Eve celebration had begun. "Zinnia!" She stiffened, it seemed that her fellow Constantinian's had been quick to find her. No doubt the rumor mill had been swirling ever since she had disappeared after assisting in the rescue of the remaining witches from Seele. Somehow, the square seemed empty without many of their fellow mages. Her feathers ruffled, if only she had been faster. They could have halved the damage done to their wonderful city. They were still in repair, yes, but the future had dawned upon their city and not unkindly. "Hello," Zinnia put on a smile, knowing that she would need to do her best to put her shyness away.
