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.

"Thanks, my mom'd be proud to hear you think--"

He stops short at the press of her lips to his cheek, blinking, surprised. The color rises in his face just a degree or two as he glances at her, half a smile tugging at one side of his mouth.

And then she starts trying to rub her lipstick off, and he starts laughing, the slight pinking of his face giving way to a full-on blush as his gaze drops.

"I'm sure it's okay," he assures her, and the temptation to lean into that touch is strong. He likes her, but his feelings on so many things and his situation respective to so many others just makes everything to do with him complicated.

Sometimes he misses the days when he wasn't a responsible person.

Sometimes.

He reaches up, touching her arm lightly, giving her a warm smile.

Complicated is sort of a way of life for Olivia, even before she arrived in Baedal. "I'm sure she's already plenty proud. But I'll add one more feather to your cap gladly." She lets her hand fall again, content that she hasn't left him with any vaguely lip-shaped smudges on his face. "There. No one will be the wiser."

She catches and holds his gaze then, a sort of tension making her chest feel tight as she draws in a deep breath.

He smiles, giving her arm a gentle squeeze. It's a bit of affection, a bit of gratitude. And then he lets go, reaching for his drink again.

"Thank you. You need a refill? I'll go."

That prompts her to raise her glass to polish off its contents and pass it Jim's way. "Yeah. Thanks. I appreciate it." Both for the offer, and for the chance to get a moment to breathe and clear her head. "I'll be waiting right here," she promises cheerfully.
