Zuko may have flared up a bit with the crowd getting too close to him after a while, scared some people off but he needed the space. He knew the streets were going to be full when the actual event happened but he wished he hadn't had to escape to a bar to get some space from most people.

He would have ordered some tea but he still hadn't figured out how Uncle got his tea so good, fire ale was doing just fine. The familiar warmth on his throat was nice but didn't want to drink himself into a stupor before the ceremony. His ears picked up on the conversations around him, joyful tones of support for the could and those of disdain for the union.

"People should really mind their own business," He voices more to himself than the people around him. He hands the cup over and the bartender pours him another that he then lights the surface of fire. It doesn't really do anything but give him an excuse to play with the fire. "Never cared for the politics in these things and I'm just reminded why they suck."

Nico Robin brushed her long dark hair from her face as she made herself comfortable among the festivities. The food vendors were lively, and the townspeople were chatty and lively with cheer. Mostly.

Even the bars were lighter and lively, doors held wide open to let in everyone who was walking the streets for a drink or a place slightly calmer than outside on the streets.

"My, my, my. It's been so long since the last marriage in Souris. I've heard of these celebrations but haven't had the privilege to witness them." She commented to her drinking partner as she lifted her wine glass to her lips and took a sip. "I hear the carriage they ride in is a sacred item only pulled out for these occasions and cleaned thoroughly. A chariot that has seen the history of the royal Newmount family for generations shall welcome a new part of their history, a magnificent sight the couple will be don't you think?" She asked ignoring that her comments garnered her some hard stares and side eyes most would be worried about. But Robin kept her cool sipping her drink a little more ignoring the people around her who were unhappy with her observation.

Location: Streets of Souris

While Jaskier would usually be singing in the streets playing his lute for the people he was rather much enjoying cheering the other bards on as they entertained the crowds and danced with and for the people. And while they did that Jaskier had taken this occasion to pass out flowers that had gotten from a cart and fashion his own flower crown for fun. So he currently carried a bouquet of flowers around handing them out to anyone approachable or seemed in need of a flower, smiling and fluttering his wings.

He received varying responses but always tried to be polite and excuse himself when he wasn't wanted. Still, even with some less-than-favorable responses he approached another person with a charming smile and offered them a flower, "Care for a flower? I could make a crown for you if you like. I'd offer a song but my arm is so full at the moment." He said in a playful tone.

GREEN WINGS fluttered gracefully beneath golden curls. if it wasn't for the wings , you'd have mistaken her for a gnome or halfling - she was small even for her kin. a graceful twirl , fabric glittering with magic as bare feet stepped carefully with each movement.

"and she said to the fellow with a golden mellow --

kiss me til the morn sparrow sings. "

her voice was gentle yet held a sorrowful tinge but her body moved to her voice - a dancer. she held no lute or flute. her body and voice was all she needed , the jingle of trinkets sewn into her dress. and with a flourish, she stopped- an explosion of yellow magic that looked like glitter. she smiled at the onlookers , crystal blues falling on one. " another dance and song ? " She was a struggling bard --- it was clear.

Zuko didn't really care for the celebration, there was too much noise half the time and while he should be used to it living in Souris he just wasn't as fond of the all-day celebrating. So while it was impossible to find somewhere quiet he found the crowds around bards very tolerable most of the time. So long as they were soft singers at least. Zuko had only been half paying attention before he was approached by the joyful bard. He doubled talked for a moment unsure what to say, then awkwardly looking down he said, "Yea-, sure, Uh..." Zuko didn't usually get approached and asked these things so he wasn't sure what he should ask for in a performance. He just needed to make a request and not be as awkward as he felt. "Got a soft song in mind? I guess something romantic and sweet for the occasion..."
