You fidgeted with a loose string of your sweater dress as you waited on a wooden bench, looking down at you knee high boots as you scuffed the heels like window wipers against the stone ground. An unexpected chilliness had hit the island, according to Roderich before it was time to leave the apartment to go to the fete, it seems that the Autumn weather has hit earlier than thought and this year's winter might be unusually colder than normal. You'd never assume that an island like this would get cold like this, but were thankful that you had packed a few warm clothes; an almost brand new light cream coloured sweater dress neatly fitted your body up to mid thigh length and concealed the majority of your palms. A pair of knee high plain dark green boots kept your legs warm and just for the sake of looking social media worthy, you chucked a long novelty necklace with a few odd feathers at the end over you neck and a cute grey beret over you (h/c) locks.

Jett: gesturing you take seat beside you
Hey ____! Mind if I take a bludge too?

You looked up at him with a raise eyebrow and he just let out a small nasally laugh for a second.

Jett: sitting down beside you
I asked if I could take a break, a load off, do nothing.... Be lazy; don't worry, I still confuse everyone.

You: quickly glancing over at him
You were helping set up?

Jett: throwing an arm over the back of the bench
Na! Just wanted a reason to have a chinwag with ya... You came to the fete alone?

You: turning to face him
Roderich is performing tonight, Basch said he was helping set some stuff up.... I guess I'm just waiting for the fete to officially commence.

Jett: smiling
You know there is about half an hour before its officially open and all the stalls should be set up by then... Wanna help someone out?

You: looking around
It seems like everyone is already in control of what they're meant to being doing...

Jett: smiling
Then let's just chat for a bit and see if anyone needs a hand.

You nodded and turned all your attention back onto Jett.

Jett: pointing his thumb towards the sea
Even though the water is beginning to get a little nibby, we still have a few more weeks before its too cold to go out, wanna go for a surf one day?

You: slightly embarrassed
I a... I can't surf... My brothers have tried to teach me many times... Then I was told to get out of the water because my bleeding noise might attract sharks...

Jett: giggling and pointing at the bandaid on his nose
To be 'True Blue' doesn't mean giving up no matter how much in debt you are to the bandaid company!! At least give me the chance to try and teach ya, maybe I'll show it to you from a different perspective... And if I can't, then we'll both be dashin' out with bleedin' noses!

You both sat there laughing, have a great time before you saw Kiku walking over looking somewhat distressed.

Kiku: nervously pointing over to a stall
P-pardon me... Jett, ____.... I require some assistance prease, may you both h---

Jett: rocketing to his feet
Sure thing! As long as it doesn't involve your people bombing Western Austra--- MATE! I'm joking around! D-Don't cry! We love Japs as much as our grog, sports, Hugh Jackman, 26th January... Well most of us, actually that day kinda divides us; ironic that the day to celebrate our nation, our natives see it as a day to mourn, honestly they have all the right to too.
