ೃ༄ "nice to meet you!"
✧──────✧

hours have passed and the nrc visitors were dressed in scalding sands' traditional clothes. they are currently walking around the city and looking at the venues that will be used for the event. however, kalim was not around as he was needed for the preparations of the festival, leaving jamil with the rest. f/n was admiring the silk bandana on her head as she stood beside malleus, "this is beautiful..."

"i'm very pleased that you like it, my lady," smiled jamil, "the camel bazaar is just ahead of this venue, do you want to look around?" 

"sure..." replied f/n, "it's quite sunny here and yet, there are a lot of people." 

"yes, well... it's the festival that represents the land of hot sands," responded the scarabia vice head, "yasmina firework is a festival that comes from an old story. it talks about a love story between a thoughtful and beautiful princess with a greedy yet kind young man... despite the difference in their status, they got married. to celebrate their love, the genie launched countless fireworks into the night sky. this story was passed down from generation to generation. we eventually start to celebrate the day of their marriage with fireworks, and that's how it turned into a traditional festival of our country."

"what a wonderful story~" cooed cater.

"the flowers in our clothing are a symbol of this festival as well," added jamil, "the name of the flower is jasmine. according to the story, it's the flower that the young man gave to the princess."

malleus hummed as he glanced at the flower on everyone's head, "no wonder it is being decorated on the festival costume. it's a real flower too, so it smells good."

the group continued conversing as f/n eyed her surroundings. there are a lot of people decorating the area and setting up their stalls. some were busy chatting with their friends, and some were just standing around.

some time passed and the venue got even more crowded. malleus pulled f/n close as to avoid separation while grim spoke, "everyone's taking their seat! let's hurry or we might not find a place to sit!

"you don't have to worry about that, all of our seats are reserved," spoke jamil, "see that canopy over there? it's a reservation seat for the guests, you can watch the fireworks in a comfortable environment."

trey awkwardly chuckled as soon as his eyes landed on the reserved seats, "the difference with the other seats is so obvious... it looks like a room in a high-class hotel."

"they're also special seats for celebrities and influencers from another country," added jamil.

"i've seen many decorations with the same colour as the canopy," stated malleus. jamil hummed and said, "from what i heard, peacock green is the colour of the outfit that the princess from the story always wears. during the period of the festival, the street will be decorated with peacock green silk fabric."
