Me, Xiao, Xiangling, Lumine, and Paimon all walked around look for before the lanterns were going to start releasing.
"We should all go buy a lantern!" Xiangling suggested.
"Good idea." Lumine replied to Xiangling smiling.
"Alright." Xiao agreed.
"Let's go then!" Paimon says excitedly dragging Xiangling by the wrist.
"Ack- Paimon slow down!" Xiangling says as Paimon pulls her ahead.
"Wait up!" Lumine yells running ahead.
Me and Xiao walk slowly behind them.
"Are you going to buy a lantern?" I asked Xiao walking beside him.
"Yea.. what about you?" Xiao asked.
"Yep!" I replied smiling at Xiao.
"Alright then." Xiao said and became silent again.

"Xiangling! I want this one for Paimon!" Paimon says pointing to a lantern.
"Aren't they all the same though?" Xiangling said awkwardly.
"Oh.. I guess they are." Paimon said disappointedly, frowning.
"Wah! Don't be sad Paimon, I'll buy you some cotton candy!" Xiangling said trying to cheer up Paimon.
"Really!" Paimon immediately started smiling again.
"Mhm! Now why don't you go pick out your lantern." Xiangling said smiling.
"Alright then!" Paimon said.

"Mister, I want this one." Paimon says proudly and holds up the lantern.
"Alright, anything else?" The man asks.
"These too." Xiangling laugh nervously holding up four more lanterns.
"Alright, that'll be 2000 mora please." The man says kindly.
"Alright, just one moment.." Xiangling says looking in her small purse shaped as a small bear.
"I'll pay." Lumine says handing the kind man the mora.
"It's no need!" Xiangling says continuing to search through her purse.
"I already paid, so don't worry about it anymore." Lumine tells Xiangling.
'Kind of reminds me of those old ladies from my home town who always fought over the bill.' I thought to myself smiling a bit.
"Well alright.. but I'll be sure to treat you to some food next time." Xiangling said.
"Jeez, if that's what you want then." Lumine says shrugging while secretly smiling.

After purchasing the lanterns we continued looking around some more.
"Xiangling, I need to go to the bathroom." Paimon tells Xiangling.
"Oh alright, you guys wait for us here." Xiangling told us and took Paimon.
"Alright then." Lumine says.
"Isn't the sky so beautiful tonight.." Lumine says leaning up against the fence on the pier, staring up into the sky mesmerized.
"Yea." I reply, staring at the sky.
