The remains of a festival litter the streets with strewn ornaments, glittering fabrics and an easy going hush that befalls the city. The streets appear relatively quiet for the time being, despite the late morning. Faint, harmonious chords of an instrument play – her humble companion lifting his voice dances to her rhythm. Filling the emptiness with kindred warmth. Homes boast the same as their inhabitants begin to rouse, reluctant to pull away from their fires.
 
Noëlle navigates the city with a subdued curiosity. The inhabitants of Terrastella were more likely nursing their hangovers. While the children – left to their own devices – overrun the city equipped with toys.
 
She found herself neither annoyed nor amused by their foalish antics. Casting demure smiles or the occasional grin behind their wake. A city well celebrated is a city content – she thought briefly. Having thus far, found very little evidence of a major conflict. It eased her to the slightest degree.
 
In the meantime, the girl’s eyes searched carefully for materials. Taking the time to pick up festive fabrics along her way, and stuffing them tightly into her satchel. Until, of course, it could hold no more and refused to shut. And then the fabrics found their place hanging off her back, trapped between the straps holding her satchel in place. Around her neck, and braided into her hair. She knew it was silly. Her smile – lopsided and constant – boasted her peculiar nature with a brazen awareness. And when it was obvious she couldn’t possibly collect anymore, she slowed her search in the presence of the musician from before. He passed a curious glance towards her; she laughed carelessly in return.
 
“I doubt these will be missed… Everyone’s had their fun.” The year ahead, despite its uncertainties provided every kind of opportunity. She wasn’t quite certain what or how she would fair with her work – if you could truly call it that. Noëlle was determined to make something of it all regardless. Even if it didn’t make any sense at the time. A softer smile leveled her lips. She approached the musician and tossed him a coin. “Your voice is a blessing, good sir. If you could spare a sea shanty?”
 
He didn’t seem to mind, as she gave him space.
 
“Sleep bonnie pirate laddie while the waves they roll.
Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, ocean breezes blow.
Feel the ship rock to and fro, hear wind through rigging sigh.
A gentle ocean sounds below a pirate lullaby…”
