Leiko followed his gaze to the matching game and nodded in agreement about using it as a finale. When he declared he was going to be the winner, she laughed, "Well, I'm glad you've got such confidence in yourself!" she smirked at him before he mentioned her going to the festivals before and she shrugged, "I didn't really get to eat anything like this when I was there because my parents said it was commoner food and we weren't to be on the same level of the rabble. She had a lot of nerve considering she was lower than them," she muttered before going over towards the card table, watching someone else play before paying to play herself.
She glanced around as the guy shuffled and laid out the cards before looking back and tapping her finger on the stand as she tried to think of which cards to pick. She flipped over two, not surprised to find they weren't a match. In the end she managed to get one match, sighing in annoyance at her poor luck, "Six attempts doesn't really feel like enough..." she mumbled, waving off the prize as it isn't much of anything to start with. She leaned on the stand out of the way so that Larel could play, "Your turn," she said before looking around again and then raising a brow when there was a break in the crowed and she spotted Alari and Mera, "Holy crap and I though Eryn did a number on me," she mumbled, but she was also surprised at the fact Mera was clearly blushing about something. She finished her last piece of food before a scent hit her hard. Her eyes darted around and she saw some little kid had tripped when they were running and had cut their knees on the small pieces of gravel on the path, "Of course," She hissed under her breath as the kid started crying, their parents ushering over. She pulled her mask back down before looking back, hoping she could just keep it together a little longer. She was having fun, she didn't want this curse she had no control over at this point to ruin everything. 

"You know, there's a reason the house I had for the last two decades was away from the village- I don't do crowds," Mera sighed, putting her hands on her hips, before he mentioned that her opinion mattered, to which she rolled her eyes then raised a brow at his reaction to looking to where the tattoo was, "That? It's part of the tattoo that covers my back. It's a.. flower patch of sorts, a different flower for each of my siblings," She explained, "Cheesy I know but my connection with earth made it seem fitting," she rubbed the back of her neck, blushing lightly again but with embarrassment this time, "The rose is for Mary because my mother used to say that roses would always bloom during times of strife and with the shape our family is in now it seemed fitting for her, there just wasn't enough room to get it completely on my back," she explained, "Maybe one day you'll see the rest and maybe I'll add more for the lot of you making such an impact on my life," she put her hand on her chin, "But where would I put them?" she seemed very complexed with that question before explaining why it mattered, "Tattoos are more than just pictures, their placement matters too- at least to me. The flowers are on my back because as siblings we're always there for each other, even if we can't necessarily see each other, and we'll watch each others backs in a tough spot," she murmured, "The vines on my arms are because I felt bound by everything that was happening to me at the time," She held her arms out, looking at the thorny vines on her forearms that went up to her elbows, "I supposed I could put something on my hands for Larel and Hotaru," she mused, turning her hand over to look at the back of them, tilting her head as she thought about what she would put then blushed again as she realized she got carried away, "Sorry," she mumbled, quickly dropping her hands to her sides
