	McDaniel's brow furrowed in annoyance as she felt a hand wrap around her arm once again and start tugging her along. Said hand belonged to one whom could be considered her only close friend -- Natalie. Natalie was Human, which didn't matter to McDaniel, and was the first person to really show any interest in the Aussie since her move to the U.S. And considering she had felt rather lost in the states at the time, it was rather convenient to make a friend who knew their way around. But Natalie was a bit.. different from McDaniel's coolheaded demeanor. She was care-free, energetic, and openly very adventurous. Which meant she pretty much dragged the redhead along like she was a dog on a leash. A big dog.

[color=be764d]"This was a mistake.."[/color]

[color=c1cdcd]"Oh hush, this is so exciting! Plus, if I wasn't here you'd probably be sulking in a corner somewhere."[/color]

There was a slight pause that somehow seemed indignant, almost. [color=be764d]"I do [i]not[/i] sulk."[/color] 

It wasn't exactly standard fare for a Human to attend traditional Witch festivals - nor was it [i]technically[/i] against any rules - but McDaniel wasn't a huge stickler for precedent. Plus, Natalie wouldn't shut up about it once McDaniel had mentioned it in passing. As long as she didn't blurt out something airheaded, hopefully her Human curiosities would go unnoticed.

[color=c1cdcd]"[i]Riiight[/i], sure, sure. Oh! Look here, there's a speech or somethin going on!"[/color]

Said speech in question was spoken from the lips of none other than Lina Calvo. McDaniel brushed Natalie's hand off as they both began to tune into the speech that was already partially underway. In truth, McDaniel had always seen such speeches more as fluff - but at least it was good-natured fluff. And Lina seemed to enjoy it, at least. Probably. She didn't know the Coven Head very closely, considering she tended to avoid that sort of thing. But either way, as the speech came to an end, so did the mundanity. Lina soon presented a display of her Evocation magic, creating a sparkle that almost matched the one in Natalie's eyes as she watched on.

It was almost [i]visual[/i] how hard she was trying to hold back a squeak of joy.

McDaniel rolled her eyes and let her gaze sweep over the crowd around them. [color=be764d]"Fuckin' witchaboo.."[/color]
None of the faces in direct line-of-sight seemed particularly familiar to her, so she turned her eyes back to her friend.
[color=be764d]"Right mate, I promised you an hour. Go bother someone else. And don't cause any trouble or you'll never see one'a these again, I swear it on-"[/color]
By the time she turned to deliver the warning, McDaniel found herself alone. Her eyes darted to the people around her, yet Nat was nowhere to be seen. Probably already talking some poor sod's ear off. The girl let loose a sigh of relief.

[color=be764d]"Right.."[/color] She mumbled to nobody in particular, before she wandered off towards the food-tents, intent on staving off some of the light chill with a warm snack.
