Jeyne always enjoyed U3; it was the preeminent music festival in Westeros and she would not dare to be seen ignoring such an event. She’d 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 she’d 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. “Oh, it’s my own fault.” The smile was genuine as her words and as she looked over at Shireen, she recalled the other woman had been at the Prime Minister’s birthday. It had been a strange evening, though Jeyne felt bonded to anyone who’d been stuck there and she laughed. “I wouldn’t miss it,” she remarked with a shrug of one shoulder. “But it’s good to see you.” She didn’t know Shireen well enough for a hug and a handshake seemed so impersonal so she hoped her words worked well as a greeting. “What’s your favorite part of the festival so far?”
Shireen hadn’t 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 couldn’t have imagined what it must have been like to plan a party and have it turn out the way it did. “It’s good to see you too, Jeyne. How are you?” Shireen asked curiously with a smile.
She sidestepped to the left, to let people through, before answering Jeyne’s question. “Well right now, it’s the snacks.” She held up her cotton candy as a demonstration before expanding on her answer.” I’m just excited for everything. After everything that’s happened, it’s nice to just take a day where I can enjoy myself and not worry about what’s going to happen later,” Shireen said with a shrug as she picked at her cotton candy.
