I'll speak a little louder, I'll even shout

Mae watched this younger one who called themself Hattori Seiko. The youngster seemed peaceful enough, which the other was a little more cheerful today. Startled yip emits from her throat as a crestation crept up on her paws. The water still caressing them, words drawing her attention back to Seiko.

Mae was at the bonfire, something she wasn't use to attending without her family, but all together a splendid experience. One that Mae could never allow herself to forget. Her own voice trailing forth. "I hope today is seeing you swell. And I was, although I am not use to attending such an event without my family." Surely she missed them. Mind wandering to their own festivals and gathers. A smile crossing her lips once again.

"We've had events like that were I am from. It's a great way to make friends and form alliances my father always stated. Mother always planned them, for dad could careless but enjoyed it none the less." And never did they allow a fire of that mass to get so huge. Turning her attention back to the castle that seemed to kiss the skies from where these two stood. "I have never seen such a building such as the castle either. I think it's a castle anyway. Did you enjoy the bonfire festival yourself, Hattori Seiko?"

"Speech!"
