The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 20)

Björn⁢ had spent much of the walk taking in his surroundings. Exploring where he could sneak it in, maybe hoping to see more of that pretty girl he'd met the last time they traveled south. You know, the one who'd tried to drown him... she was cool, okay? That, and he was having a good time getting the lay of the land. Getting away from the cold and the things happening at home? All added bonuses.

Determined to have a good time, to keep his mind off things, and to be as far away from his older brother as possible, Björn⁢ joins the party. Pointedly rolling his eyes at Erik as he gives them a singular warning, he takes off. There were other kids here, but a lot of them younger. Maybe... was that one his age? Ugh, he needed a snack first. Björn⁢ made his way to the tables of elaborate food, taking in the spread. Goddamn, they ate like this down south? So many things he'd never seen, and he eagerly takes a pile of fresh berries with him. Gotta find somewhere to sit.
