Sylvan blushed, dipping his head as he thanked the Imperial. He collected the gifts behind him and steadied his nerves. This would be the first time he'd ever preformed in front of creatures other than spirits, though dragons... maybe they weren't that different?
Pulling tight the last string, he glanced around the gathered dragons, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He plucked at the strings, testing their sound.
He took a few more breaths. Then he began.
It started softly, quite humming accompanying the subtle sounds of his instrument. As the music rose, his humming became singing. His music wove through the air, his voice conjured images of quiet forests with a gentle breeze. It was in a different language, but others understood.
It was peaceful, a much different feel from the energetic festivities going on. Even as the image shifted, becoming that of a powerful creature running freely though the forests, as untamable and wild as the wind, some feeling of peace still remained.

Nimbus has never had her fortune told before. She's seen plenty oracles and fortune tellers and mediums in her travels, but there was never a chance to stop by one to see how it all worked. Settling into a more comfortable state, Nimbus decides to take the leap and ask the bright Imperial to divine her fortune for her.

Hurricane applauds the juggler as she catches her package. As she scans the festival for another performance to watch, she catches sight of a few familiar faces. She waves to them, and they hurry through the crowd to her.

Always out looking for adventure!" Hraekon huffs. "Still doesn't excuse leaving for literal [i]years[/i] without so much as a note." he grumbles. Hurricane laughs.

Catching the Pearlcatcher's eye, she waves in appreciation and then begins to scan the immediate area for a food stall. She's definitely starting to feel hungry in spite of all the distractions. She decided to splurge on a jasmine-and-juneflower pudding and wasn't disappointed. Once her hunger was sated, she purchased a sack of toasted grasshoppers to munch as she continued to explore the sights, sounds, and smells of the Jamboree.

Lylo looks up at the little Fae sitting on his head "Enjoying yourself little one?" Lylo feels his head move with a vibration that he realizes is repetitive jumping. "yesyesyesyesyes," the faes eyes glow with enthusiasm. "Do you think she will teach me how to do that?" Lylo laughs deep in his throat and smells his silks once more before replying, "hmmmm.

He grabs it by one of the main crossbeams, frowning at the flopping of the other crossbeam; even without having finished it the kite is obviously not airworthy. A fae next to him cries out in excitement, thrusting a newly completed and beautifully detailed kite into the air, a sudden gust sweeps the kite into the sky, the giggling fae dragging along behind it. As Solas moves to place the remains of his butchered craft back on the table a hand stops him, a female skydancer bedecked in various wind regalia hands him two pieces of dried bamboo with a look that says "try again." Solas blushes and places the bamboo pieces perpendicular to each other as the instructor had told him the first time around, he struggles to keep them in place as he ties the ribbon to hold them in place, slippery bamboo sliding against the slick silk ribbon. The skydancer reaches over with her other arm and easily ties the knot firmly and securely and Solas feels the warm blush creepy from his cheeks over the tips of his ears. Solas peers over his shoulder as she steps away, the skydancer returns only seconds later with a pot of glue and brightly colored paper. Ignoring his apparent confusion she silently holds the kite frame and shows Solas how to paint the frame with glue and wrap the paper firmly around it before tying a long length of ribbon to the frame. The resulting kite isn't exactly beautiful, the paper is slightly rumpled and smeared with extra glue, but it is complete. The skydancer remains cryptically silent but is clearly proud of him; she gestures for Solas to throw the kite into the wind and as the kite swoops in the breeze Solas feels his own heart soaring with it.

She looked at all of the activities that she could do and walked towards a mask stall. The sign told of a mask-making competition. Delta smiled. She had just come from painting a kite, so her creativity had had a warm up already. This mask would be amazing! She grabbed a blank Skydancer base from the pile and a paint brush, dipping it into a light blue paint jar. When Delta was done with it, the mask was light blue with yellow feathers on the edge of the Skydancer face. A twisting vine-like pattern was painted all across the face, circling around the eyes with a flourishing finish. She smiled as she admired her work. She sure hoped it would win, but even if it didn't, it sure was fun to paint! She handed the mask to the friendly Bogsneak behind the stall and told him her Clan name that he would give the mask to when it was done. She then turned around and looked for more to do.
