Ulric wandered around with Eska at his side, occasionally sneaking little kisses from her as they went. He was throughly enjoying this traveling they were doing for his retirement. Yes, he still worried almost constantly about his children, but he was quickly learning that there was so much of the world he had never experienced and Eska was showing him everything he had been missing. He left her for just a moment, still keeping an eye out for a little something to get for her while they were here, and when he decided that he didn't care for any of these trinkets and came back to her side she was playing a game of ring toss. He watched her toss and kissed her cheek with a grin before taking a ring for himself to follow her lead. He didn't think his toss was nearly as graceful as hers, but he gave it a go all the same.

Albion followed his father and second mother to the carnival curiously. As always he was rather silent as he shifted through the crowds, despite his youth he already towered over many of the attendees. His slim but heavy form slipped through the gaggles of wolves and odd coydogs and he followed Chimera to the game booths. His wide ghost white eyes took in the strange sights and strangers faces as he passed, ever watchful as he took everything in. Much more observant than he ever was talkative.

Massive gangly paws carried him up to the side of the booth after his father, a look of surprise crossed his features when a ring was thrust into his grasp. He hadn’t planned on participating but now that he had it Albion tossed the ring towards the sticks in front of him.

She hadn’t really left Iolaire’s side since the woman had found her not so long ago. Her heart and soul had latched onto the smaller woman and she clung to her like her life depended on it. And maybe it did. She pointedly avoided any familiar faces that might have shown up, not that she was very incognito. Still she tried to lay low and keep attention from herself.

Lilac eyes wandered over the carnival, she couldn’t remember the last time she had been at a gathering quite so large. Time had not been kind to the once Empress, for the last few years she had only really been around family. Her deficiencies were more obvious now. Deathbelle tried to ignore the anxiety that built inside as she made her way to the game booth and took her ring. Gracefully Belle tossed it for her prize.

Erys timidly followed Chimera and those of Fenmyre that were attending the odd festival. The pearlescent man didn’t often get to experience such massive gatherings himself. He was a slave for the majority of his life, the only mass agtherings he had been to were sales. The atmosphere of those and this carnival were completely different though. There were no airs of despair or sorrow. Only joy and fun wherever his silver white eyes landed.

It was like a whole new world and the horned man walked along with a little smile playing on his features as he made his way to the booth area. All around him wolves were getting their prizes and the hubbub coaxed Erystotle to the edge of the tossing area. He took the ring delicately in his lips and threw it towards the sticks, curious what he might get.

Festivals were definitely not his thing, but he was especially intrigued by the possibility of prizes. Not that he was a terribly competitive wolf but it'd been awhile since he was in a true group setting, and he knew he couldn't spent every instance of his life tucked away in the north. There was a world beyond his home and he had to at least briefly explore it, in order to grow stronger - for himself as well as his siblings. As he approached her zeroed in on the game, instead of the wolves that had gathered, some fetching their prizes while the others waited for their turns. Once his turn was up, he grabbed a blue ring that very nearly matched his coat, testing its weight briefly before flicking his head and aiming for the pegs, hoping for the best.

When he heard about this little festival it seemed like a no-brainer. Life had largely returned to normal, though Abaven was in the beginning stages of change, and being surrounded by other wolves in such a fun environment seemed refreshing. He found himself smiling as he scanned the group, noting some familiar wolves though plenty of strangers too. Mostly he was just happy to be alive. Winning something at one of these games was just an added bonus to his already good mood. Grinning a bit wider as he approached the booth and took his turn, he somewhat lazily grabbed one of the rings and tossed it at the pegs, making a lazy attempt - but still an attempt nonetheless.

How could Kaija pass up a chance at experiencing something new? Big groups weren't really her thing, as adventurous and boisterous as she tended to be. She was an independent girl and though social in her own way, she wasn't used to so many wolves in one place, and her discomfort was visible as she approached this strange game. Getting the gist of how this was played, when it was her turn she headed up and grabbed one of the rings, disregarding the various colors and going for whatever was closest. Her nose wrinkled as she studied the spread of pegs before shooting her shot, as focused and careful as possible. She just wanted to win something good for showing up.

Lachlan made his way through the crowds at the festival, part of it reminded him of the party he met Tyrian at, but the atmosphere was much different. It left a smile on his red marked features and he frequently gave them out. Lach enjoyed seeing familiar faces and enjoyed the light spirit of the event. He weaved in and out of the crowds towards the game booth, noticing the gaggle of children running from booth to booth. Eventually he meandered up to the nearest booth.

There were rings flying everywhere, and shy blue eyes were quickly captivated as each wolf tossed for their prizes. Lachlan felt like he was getting the hang of it when he was given the next ring. A look of extreme concentration on his features Lack tossed his ring towards the sticks.

Pyr ducked through the crowd on tiny golden gilded paws, like a tiny pickpocket through busy crowded streets. She lost any sight of her siblings as she took in the sights and sounds around her. She didn’t even know that there could be so many wolves in the world. The northern reaches were so sparsely populated that it was easy to think that she and her family were the only ones alive.

Everything was different compared to life in the north, there they struggled to survive and fought hard for every day they were given. Here in the south she had never seen such abundance. It was incredible. The young girl kept going until she reached the game booths and weaved her way towards the attendant who gave her a ring to toss towards a collection of sticks. Without hesitation she let it fly.

Rannoch didn’t enjoy the mass of wolves he waded through here, but he remained close to Taiga and there were no attendants or wolves that gave him more than a side glance. He was dinner if they wished, but Taiga projected her possession over him, which seemed enough to dissuade the hordes. It was kind of hellish, but the deer was given an intimate look into the lives of wolves. He was learning as he went that not all predators were complete blood thirsty killers. That there were qualities they shared when you looked closer. He was looking closer, and he didn’t like it.

Still, he tried to relax a little when the pair of them waded closer to the game booths. Being the largest creatures by far they parted the wolves easily. Rannoch took his ring, and trying not to ruin anything with his swaying antlers, tossed.

Ike wasn’t sure if it was her antlers and similar physiology that attracted her to him, or if it was just the deer’s massive size. Either way the princess found herself following the massive deer. His branching velvet covered antler beams were a sight to behold and she knew she couldn’t be the only one captivated. She tried to ignore him and the great cat that he was following as she made her way to the game booths. She wasn’t sure which one she wanted to try at first but seeing Ikigai go towards the ring toss made her decision.

Kiyohime grabbed her ring and very carefully tossed it forward in hopes of catching a good stick and a good prize.

Siren never left the island, she had her home and she neer went anywhere. She was content and happy there and had no reason to wander beyond Chimera’s reach. Today though he took her and the rest of their family for an outing. One that looked like all of Boreas and Auster were attending. The Empire was big but even Siren had never seen a gathering quite so massive.

The dainty queen followed after her king as he led the way towards the game booths. He hadn’t ever stuck her as one for frivolous amusement, but there did seem to be some good prizes flowing. Siren took her place at the booth and took her ring to gently toss towards the field of sticks.

Twig followed after Corvus towards the festival, she hadn’t been out and about near enough recently. Despite the hills and valleys life threw at them everything was returning to normalcy. Abaven was flourishing if not changing as it went. Much like they all were, ever caught in a cycle of ups and downs. The carnival was definitely a high. There was laughter and smiles wherever she looked. It was lovely.

Her carmel striped form slipped through the crowds behind Corvus as they came to the game booths. Each stall manned with another coydog. They were quite prolific and good at throwing a party. Twig stepped up to the side of the booth and was given her ring, she didn’t think she was going to do any good but tossed it anyway for the fun of it.

The starry cloaked woman weaves her way through the crowd, scanning the surrounding booths. Wight tries to take everything but… there is too much going on. Coydogs bark out their games, calling for the wolves to come and try them. Couples in love walk by all goo-goo eyes for each other. It is very… nauseating. Still, when she spies a game with rings and pegs, the red nebula wolf decides to give it shoot, if for no other reason than to step away from the lovely dove-y couples. White dipped paws carry her to the back of the line and Wight waits patiently for her turn. Soon enough she is at the front, the coydog calling her up to the line. Dipping her head, Wight steps up and gathers a ring with her mouth. Swinging her head to the side, she quickly flings her head back up, tossing the ring toward the pegs and hoping she gets something.

If she was honest with herself, Daphne felt more grounded back on Boreas. Sure, she could still see Hallows wolves everywhere, but they hadn’t bothered her during her stay, and being at the castle, (while it left an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of her stomach that she couldn’t quite put her paw on) well it wasn’t what she would call bad.

Pandora tugged on her neck fur, bringing her attention to the fierce looking black coydog. Daphne mustered her best friendly smile. She had seen a similar set up at the castle, except they threw horseshoes there. She stepped up to the line and took one of the rings in her mouth, giving it her best throw, hoping to see it catch on the stick standing up out of the ground.

The trip to Boreas was a rare one indeed, but it had been a while since he had come this far north at all. He relished the opportunity for a change of scenery, and a carnival was the perfect motivation to head to the northern continent. Amongst the masses of wolves (and other beasts!) that had amassed in the southern regions of the continent, it was easy to become overwhelmed by the colours and scents and voices. However, the calling of a jovial feminine voice over the murmur of the crowds drew his attention. He wasn't the best at games, but what was the point of being here if not to try his luck at the very least?   Joining up with the crowd that had gathered around the booth, the cosmic titan watched each participant grab a colourful hoop and give it a toss into the rows of wooden pegs buried in the ground. It seemed suspiciously simple. And so when his turn came around, the giant lumbered closer to the game and clasped the edge of a ring in his teeth. With a short swing of his heavy head, he let the ring fly and hoped it met its mark somewhere within the rows of dowels. Throwing things wasn't exactly in his repertoire of skills, but half of the fun was taking part. It had been so long since his last festival, after all. Plush banner swung idly at his hips as he turned his attention to the coydog fae and quirked a brow in wordless inquiry. Had he won anything neat? "speech"   glitter hearts / love heart

Rōta had been sticking mostly to the wall since their arrival, but when she caught a sniff of a carnival, there was no way to contain her. It was a chance to see what the rest of the wolves that lived here looked like, and maybe she’d find someone to have some fun with if there was anyone unattached.

She walked past the flamboyant one, and the floppy eared one too, drawn to the scars this one was littered with. She gave half a smile to the attendant, amusement in her eyes and the common tongue awkward in her mouth, “Are you the grand prize? If so, maybe it is worth a shot.” She picked up the ring and let it fly, waiting to see where it landed.

Keen bichromatic eyes roved aimlessly over the scenery of the carnival, where so many strange faces and interesting creatures were gathered. It wasn't only wolves here, he'd seen a few prey animals that seemed to differ from the variety they ate. Knowing the common tongue and under the protection of a massive feline, they were taking part in the festivities with the rest of the attendees. Pollux clung to his ruff with nimble fingers, and Hallux was scouting the carnival far faster than the godling could have hoped to by flitting between booths and gatherings, moving perch to perch on short dark wings. Amethyst marked coat warmed by the summer sun, the yearling was in an unusually cheery mood. With a wordless shitter of warning to the tall wolf, Pollux scrambled from shoulders to hips and made room for Hallux to alight between the boy's shoulders. "I think you should try the ring tossing game, pup." she croaked quietly as she leaned closer to his ear. A curious hum and a bob of his head was all the indication that the parrot needed to take flight again, leading her canine companion towards the booth in question. He watched quietly as the other players took their turns, and a smirk toyed at his maw when he noticed Iki there already. She was no doubt more suited to the game than anyone else, with her nimble digits and poised grace. The godling waited his turn for the other attendees to take their turns, until the scarred fae motioned for him to try his luck. Slender jaws grabbed hold of the edge of a colourful wooden ring, and he flicked it away with a quick twist of his head. Narrowed eyes followed its arc, wondering what the likelihood of his success would be. "speech"   balloon / bows

Dragging any of the clan members that they could muster down the mountain for a carnival was surprisingly difficult, but they'd managed. Bismuth was somewhere around here, and now it was time to enjoy the festivities. The pair had signed up for a race, and while they waited it seemed like as good of a plan as any to play a game or two! The burly wolf was in their element amongst the crowds, and they readily flitted between various parts of the gathering. The fried foods were probably the best thing ever invented, and they were going to try their skill at making some once they were home. Melted fat brought to a bubble with doughs and meats left to cook in the scalding liquid? Perfection, truly.   A flash of familiar pelage in the corner of their vision brought the speckled wolf towards a booth where a game was being hosted. Gunmetal eyes scanned over the rows upon rows of dowels, as well as the painted rings that were laid out for tossing into the mix. Ebon marked tail swayed across their hocks with growing excitement as they watched each participant take their turn at tossing a ring out into the sea of wooden dowels, and the subsequent handing out of prizes. Their fascination and delight had reached a fever pitch by the time they were beckoned forth by the heavily scarred coydog. Without any need for further prompting, they grabbed hold of the nearest wooden ring and gave it a toss with a quick flick of their heavy skull. Away it sailed, and they shifted their weight from one paw to the other in anticipation. "speech"   balloon / bows

Malachai wasn't really sure he got the whole Carnival thing, he'd agreed to fight with Grimshaw in the tournament but as they waited he'd gotten bored and finally started roaming the stalls. He was mostly unbothered by most of the booths, the wolves around them, and the barkers hocking their wares. He wasn't really sure he saw the appeal, but hell when in Rome. He approached the scarred coydog at the counter of her little booth and watched as a few other wolves took awkward tossed with the painted rings. He shrugged, picked up a ring himself, and casually threw it, his heart not even really in it. "Speech
