Jeyne always enjoyed U3; it was the preeminent music festival in Westeros and she would not dare to be seen ignoring such an event. Sheâd attended alone, though she had many friends who would be there and she was looking forward to seeing them. She carried a bottle of water in her hands, not wanting to begin drinking just yet and the music around her was as eclectic as the people. A smile rose on her face and she looked around at the vendors, wondering if there was something else sheâd prefer having to eat. Her head tilted to the side as she looked at some of the signs, ignoring that she was in the walkway.
When someone bumped into her, Jeyne looked up. âOh, itâs my own fault.â The smile was genuine as her words and as she looked over at Shireen, she recalled the other woman had been at the Prime Ministerâs birthday. It had been a strange evening, though Jeyne felt bonded to anyone whoâd been stuck there and she laughed. âI wouldnât miss it,â she remarked with a shrug of one shoulder. âBut itâs good to see you.â She didnât know Shireen well enough for a hug and a handshake seemed so impersonal so she hoped her words worked well as a greeting. âWhatâs your favorite part of the festival so far?â
Shireen hadnât thought about that night in a little while but seeing Jeyne had brought back her memories of that night. Despite not knowing Jeyne well, Shireen was relieved that she had recovered from that night. Shireen couldnât have imagined what it must have been like to plan a party and have it turn out the way it did. âItâs good to see you too, Jeyne. How are you?â Shireen asked curiously with a smile.Â
She sidestepped to the left, to let people through, before answering Jeyneâs question. âWell right now, itâs the snacks.â She held up her cotton candy as a demonstration before expanding on her answer.â Iâm just excited for everything. After everything thatâs happened, itâs nice to just take a day where I can enjoy myself and not worry about whatâs going to happen later,â Shireen said with a shrug as she picked at her cotton candy.
