Winter festival is here!

[gondoevents]

Despite the many, many distractions on the part of the people who presumably run this city, the Winter Festival is here!

Too warm for ice skating, but there is an ice sculpture contest as well as the usual animals on display (this year we have a walrus), and the many many different kinds of festival food!

Also available are many vendor booths, very good if you want a special winter coat or some other craftwork.

*gives 'maybe later!' longing glance at the booth and takes Uncle Mae's omgit'sthere hand*

Hiiiii. Ada got us sweet drinks!

[forging_gold]

*to Maedhros* Which I will probably regret... *wry grin*

[maitimo]

I imagine so. *to the boys* Are you enjoying them?

[tiny_elrond]

Yes! *maybe a little hyper already* But we want more!

[tiny_elros]

Uncle Mae, will you get us candy?

[forging_gold]

*shakes his head frantically no*

[maitimo]

*apologetic shrug at Kano* Of course! But you may only eat one piece now, and the rest will go to Ada for safekeeping.

[tiny_elrond]

*shrieks with glee* YAY!

(note: does not need more sugar)

[forging_gold]

*gives Maedhros a Not Amused look*

[tiny_elros]

*shrieks too, hitting the exact same note as Elrond and doubling the noise*

[forging_gold]

Shh, shh. No screaming!

[tiny_elros]

Can I try your drink, Ada?

[tiny_elrond]

Me too me toooooooooooooo!

[forging_gold]

*thinks for a moment* Alright. One sip.

[tiny_elros]

*sips it, makes a face, and spits it right back into the cup* ugh!

[tiny_elrond]

*stares, maybe thinking the better of trying it*

[forging_gold]

Elros!

[maitimo]

*cracks up*

[forging_gold]

*glares at Maedhros; not helpful*

[tiny_elros]

It's gross!

[tiny_elrond]

Well, I don't want to try it now!

[forging_gold]

*explains that we don't spit things back into drinks. firmly*

[maitimo]

No one has to try it. Come along, we'll have pony rides. *catches the twins' hands*

[tiny_elros]

*swings from Mae's arm, totally forgetting all his sins*

[tiny_elrond]

*bounces along excitedly* And then candy?
