St Kelley's is one of the more sedate occasions in Baedal, at least as holidays go. It passes more or less unnoticed by the majority of the population as many of them feel it doesn't concern them. It's not their holiday; it's for the others. Those with severed ties and broken hearts. The temple and church preach that it's a time for reflection or for glorifying the generosity of the gods. It's one of the few days on which no one looks askance at first generation Citizens mourning their missing loved ones publicly.

As night rolls around and floating lanterns are set to sea, the Apache in Mog Hill prepares to accept guests from the newer cohorts. It's something that happens every year, making it a practical tradition. The alcohol will be cheaper for first timers, and the music will be kept at a reasonable level.

Ivan's text back is simple and precise: I'll come if you want me. He'd been out and about himself, but it was a private moment watching the boats. He had a lot of past to consider.

He's not hard to tug away from it, though.

Ilde hadn't lingered long after sending her own out; she's not sure what she's expecting, if she's expecting anything at all, and after a few moments by the waterside she hadn't really wanted to think about it any more. Something will happen-- but it will do so without her constant scrutiny, and even if it's been easier, lately, the distance between herself and her family...it's easier again with a bit of alcohol and some familiar faces.

I'm out in the courtyard.
