"When I had first came to Ionia, I never really expected all of the festivities to have the exact same aura as those from home. I would've expected a more.. I wouldn't describe it as stranger but I had figured it would feel different. But it didn't. It was still exciting and thrilling, and I wouldn't ever trade it for a 'better' one."
âI even prepared just a little bit by buying one of the traditional garments from one of the tailors from Little Ionia. It was far more comfortable than I thought they would be, too. Then again, I tend to wear bulky armor that is more of a hassle than a blessing more often than not.â
"With how crowded the village felt during the festival, I almost forgot that it was actually supposed to be one of the more remote ones. I had heard that there was a lot of areas still heavily impacted by the war, and I tried my best to avoid most of those places as much as possible. I still wanted to visit the island, though. It sounds selfish, I know. Experiencing the Revel celebrations firsthand by its source wasn't the only reason why I enjoyed my stay, though."
"With all of the games and excitement and food arrangements scattered along both sides of the street, it reminded me a lot of how the Harrowing festivals go in Piltover. In fact, they were always crowded and it was hard to ever find someone not participating in something like that. Which, now that I think about it, makes a lot of sense as to why I found something very strange about it all.."
A short pause of silence passed before he spoke up again.
"I don't think I ever considered really befriending this person until later on, but when I looked around after taking a break from playing a mini game involving the scooping of fish, I spotted someone who seemed to be just.. Watching the festival rather than wanting to enjoy it. I didn't find it suspicious, but rather strange. It wasn't common to see things like that where I came from, so I figured I would at least pry and see if I could just convince the figure to have some fun."
"I didn't expect to actually fall for that person, but in the end things just happened the way they did. I'm not complaining, I only wish I could compensate more time to build this bond better with the man who became quite a good friend to me, even with his mysterious traits at times."
"I know when I approached him, I got a strange vibe from the man initially. It was clear I was unwanted, or at least the presence alone was. Whether it was just simply due to me being foreign or just me being there at all, I'm quite glad that I chose to 'disturb' him that day. I did, however, end up not being very creative in my introduction and merely just started with a simple 'Hey there.' Not clever or suave, I know, but at the time my intent was just to convince the man to join the festival so he could actually feel and enjoy the fun rather than just watch from afar."
