When it had been time to get ready for the fête, astrid had sort of fluttered from room to room in order to locate the bracelet her mother had given her. During her search she’d come across havva, who she’d promised to talk to at the fête later before fluttering off.

The decoration of the messhall left her in awe, as astrid stepped inside. Although she’d seen it before, it never failed to amaze. As her eyes lowered, astrid looked over the other grisha present, before they landed on havva. With a smile she sneaked up on her, and hooked her arm through hers, ‘’the decorations didn’t last very long during the first spring fėte, do you remember?’’ astrid initiated, grinning as she did.

"well don't you look lovely, i enjoy this whole-" he motions in her general direction, not picking out anything in particular, "-colour, situation." in all the time he'd spent with effie over the years he'd argue that he'd gained an eye for... whatever she had an eye for, or at least he understood it more than he had back in the early days. "how are you feeling? about the scores." he'd soon be venturing to chew out the tributes, assuming something akin to the worst if he knew anything about their nature. beneath the shiny new suit, the firm grip on his glass, he can't hide the nerves he's feeling as things progress. giving up mentoring was supposed to be his opportunity to relax, to let go of the reigns and focus on what really mattered. but now he was at risk of losing what he wanted so desperately to protect.

the patrols after the attack were something that hannes was starting to loathe. what they wanted the guards to do ? fight that awful thing ? as much as he hated the drusjes, they were the only who could stop the monster. so why it was them, the guards, that needed to patrol the walls of the little palace and not the ones who could actually do something useful ? he scoffed at his thoughts. of course the grishas would do that, it suited them like a glove. but he still walked thought the place, as dutiful as a loyal guard would be. but sometimes he needed a break, and that break came in the form of havva. he hadn’t seen her during the attack or after it, so it was good to know that she was probably well. “ havva. ” he greeted her with a nod. “ i hope nothing bad happened to you at the fête. ” that didn’t include an encounter with a leather bird, that’s it.

“ nikolai ! ” yuliya’s face brightened up at the sight of the squaller. they could be considered friends once, but now that she and sacha were in good terms again --- way good terms --- he wasn’t a painful reminder of the inferni. “ it’s been a while since we saw each other. ” and yuliya knew that would be way longer since they would see each other again. she almost hasn't had much time for herself since the attack --- that was the worst part of being a healer. they were always required after something happened, never during it. however, yuliya found dissecting a human body more pleasant than doing it with a volcra. with a human body, she knew what to expect, at least. “ i hope nothing too serious happened with during in the spring fête. ” nikolai seemed well, but yuliya knew some wounds could not be only on the surface.

adrian was ordered by his superior to go against the stream of grisha and non-grisha fleeing in the direction of the basement to look for those injured and in need of assistance, and guide important and powerful grisha as a security and safeguarding measure to the basement. rifle at the ready, he took care to not make a sound as he exited the hallway, only to find nikolai in the midst of conjuring his squaller wind, no a storm. unnatural and sudden, a sound could be heard around the corner. adrian, cursing his orders-not needing to think twice-rushed forward, taking hold of the squaller’s arm and yanked him to the side, out of sight, away from the open door the sound had come from. ‘’have you completely lost your mind, or do you want to die, hm?’’ he hissed at nikolai.
