REE REE SPOILER ALERT

It was the night of the masquerade Ball, everyone was dressed up in animal masks and flamboyant and elegant clothes. You never really fancied parties Like these but your friend Lamora suggested you did so, he took you out clothes shopping the night before and got his 'master' asra to make some masks for the both of you.

Like you asked, you got a elegantly carved out mask, with a sorted colours that you chose and the animal of your choice. You looked at the clothes in your hands that felt nice to the touch with colours that matched your mask. The clothes slithered over your body like a match made in heaven. You frowned and bit your lip, this was definitely something you weren't used of. But you can't lie, you did look nice. You clipped the mask around your face and a small smile curled on your lips and you twirled around the mirror. "Alright, it's just a party... I don't have to stay long..." you sighed and drawled the curtains to enter the living room to see your partner sitting in a rocking chair. He looked up to you and smiled happily, "You look so cute sweetie! Oh my gosh!" he clapped his hands and hugged you, twirling you around and setting you down. "Alright, now all we need to do is walk up to the castle!" he took long quick strides to the door and turned around to see you walking towards him. "You think we should take a horse carriage?" you tossed a brow and followed close behind him. "You really think I'm that fancy? I can't pay for that shit!" he frowned and waved his hand. You chuckled at his reaction of your request.

The town were filled with people, and not only that, markets. Everything seemed to be decorated at the streets with ribbon and coloured lanterns. People seemed to be picking out clothes and getting dressed in small stalls next to them. It was obvious everyone was excited and getting ready. "Alright, stay close to me... I don't want to lose you and have some man steal you away..." Lamora frowned and held your hand tightly around his. He pulled you through the crowd earning some glares and disapproving grunts but Lamora mostly mocked them and gave the same dirty look.

After was seemed like hours of awkwardly bumping into people and Lamora sassing anyone, you finally made it to the castle walls and smiled large at It. You've been into the countess headquarters but everything seemed more grand being lit up and decorated like this. "Wow..." you mumbled under your breath and looked over at Lamora who was just a smiling. "Come on! We gotta go go go..." he grabbed your hand once again and pulled you through the castle doors. Visitors hung out in the grand hallway, fabric was hung up on the walls and covered the lanterns to give the light a faint colour. And masked people glanced over at the newcomers and went back to taking. You friend when you felt the familiar tight grip around your hand slip. Away and you turned your head to Lamora to see him running over to a figure leaning against the wall. You sighed and ran over as well "A little bit of a warning would be nice Lamora instead of running to your boyfriend..." you hissed but couldn't go but smile to see the two hug tightly. "Sorry but I couldn't help myself to see my little doctor all dressed up nice..." he cooed and stood on his top toes to pinch his cheeks. "I think you are the little one dear..." Julian smiled and arched a brow. His costume was dark with feathers to desperate his costume along with a black carved out mask that looked like a uird of some sort, with red markings along the beak and eye. "yeah yeah, mentally you are the smaller one..." Lamora giggled and looked at you two. "So! I made a list of where we should go, and of course we have suggestions along the way." Lamora pulled out his paper, and turned it towards the two of you. The only word that was scribbled on sloppily was the word 'Food' in all caps. "We eat..." he crumbled up the paper and shoved it in his pocket. "Let's go!!" Lamora ran off into the crowd, but before he could run off Julian snatched his wrist and pulled him against his chest. "Now now, we don't want you running off you little hog..." he kissed the back of his head and smiled. Julian rolled his eyes "you know him, always loves the food...", you nodded in agreement. "Yeah yeah... I like food...and I'm not a hog!" he pouted and flicked Julian's nose. "Yeah! But you're my hog..." he kissed the nape of his neck. You smiled at the two and walked towards the door with the colours of a rainbow painted on it. "You are going to love this!" lamoea smiled and clapped his hands. He pushed open the doors to see one giant table with sorted foods that gradually changed colors from red to purple.
