Rayla:

She nodded, her pride had been hurt when she had fallen in front of her crush

Rayla:

"I'm fine, truly I am."

Ben:

He noticed her limp and pranced up next to her. “Rayla,” He said gently, “You’re obviously not okay. You‘re limping. At least come back to the tavern with me and I can put some cold water on it.”

Merrick:

He laughed and squeezed her gently, then led her towards the pastry table. He nodded a greeting to Jerry then lowered his eyes to look at the different cupcakes and scones. “See anything you like?” He asked Kelly, keeping one eye on a blueberry scone.

(Merrick: Yay! Does that mean they won’t dress us up anymore or make us do embarrassing things?

Me: -revives from the dead- NOPE! )

(HIII! What'd I miss?)

Rayla:

She realized she was still holding on to his arm and let go of it. Her left hoof hurt but she hid it.

Ben:

He was by her side in an instant and squatted down to help her up. "You all right? Sorry...I need to get that doorway fixed-so many centaurs keep tripping on it." He held out his arm for her to grab. "You hurt anywhere?"

Rayla:

She tripped on the lip of the doorway and fell on her face. "Ow."

Merrick:

He blushed and blinked down at her, not expecting her to kiss him. (Merrick.org has stopped working XD)

Merrick chuckled and slowly relaxed, then pulled her closer. "Oh, I see. You don't want a hug-you want a kiss." He kissed her forehead, then her cheek, but pulled back before he got carried away and kissed her lips. (AAAAAA IM BLUSHING)

It wouldn't be a bad thing, but the space around them was quickly filling and he didn't know if it would make her embarrassed or not, so he decided against it. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her and pointed at the food stand on the other side of the courtyard. "Want a cupcake? Don't worry-I'll pay for it this time."

Rayla:

She stood up. "See ya, Ben."

Merrick:

"No, I'm not sure if they're here. But, why wouldn't they be? The entire herd is invited." He followed her gaze when she nodded towards a couple, and smiled at Raven and Zayne. "I knew they had something for each other. The way he defended her in the Tavern-Yeah, I saw that relationship coming from a mile away."

He lowered his voice and bumped Kelly on the hip with his own. "Is that your way of saying you want a hug? You can always just ask me for one."

Kelly:

"Hmmm, whatever you want! Do you know if they're here?" She looked around, her hand still in Merrick's. In the corner of her eye she saw Zayne and Raven, and nudged Merrick and smiled.

She blushed.

Merrick:

He smiled then turned towards the festival, walking hand in hand with Kelly. The street was lit with brilliant torches and lanterns and the music grew louder. Violins, flutes, harmonicas, a small drum set, and a couple more instruments were being played. Opposite to the courtyard, there was a long table with pastries, entrees, bread, beer, wine, and a collection of trinkets for sale.

In front of the small band, there was an open pavilion where a couple centaurs had already gathered. Some were dancing, others were simply socializing.

Opposite to the courtyard, there was a long table with pastries, entrees, bread, beer, wine, and a collection of trinkets for sale.

Merrick leaned down to Kelly. ”So, what would you like to do first? We could look for Espen, Reba, and Sultaan.”

(it'd be funny if Kelly and Merrick saw Zayne and Raven (Who are still hugging)

Kelly:

She nodded shyly and flicked her braided tail. "Yes, let's go," she said with a grin.

Raven:

She wasn't sure if she had spoken or just thought it, "I-I love you." she whispered

(BACK! Summary?)

Callum:

"Yup!" He whispered back, draping an arm around Fawnroot.

Sunpond:

She smiled at Kilroy, "Yes, exactly Kilroy!" She nickered, then spun in another circle. "I'm so happy for you." She said to Fawnroot.

Fawnroot nuzzled Sunpond and moved to stand closer to Callum, her wingtips briefly brushing Kilroy's shoulder comfortingly. "Thank you," She nodded with a smile, then reached up and nuzzled Callum's neck.

"This is going very well."

Raven:

She wrapped her arms around him. She wanted to say 'I love you' but wasn't sure how he would react. "I-I love you." she whispered, her voice barely audible

(recomment for Stormsun when she gets back)

Merrick:

He was almost positive his entire face was red, but he cleared his throat softly and grinned. "Oh, thank you. I don't think I've ever looked this fancy." He said gently, then squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Ready to go? I can hear the music starting."

Merrick nodded towards the center of the campsite where the figures of other centaurs were starting to appear and lively music and laughter reached their ears. He looked down at her and smiled again.

Sunpond:

Her eyes widened and she flicked her ears from Fawnroot to Callum. Fawnroot blushed and she smiled. "Aww, thank you, darling. I like hanging with you, too." She pressed her muzzle against Callum's cheek.

Sunpond gasped shrilly and loudly, her eyes as big as apples. She squealed and ran forward and nearly tackled Fawnroot to the ground from her enthusiasm, but the older mare was able to catch herself. "You like Callum! You like Callum! Eeee! Awwwww I knew it! This is amazing! My best friend and a centaur! ACK! Fawnroot! FINALLY!" She squeezed her wings around Fawnroot's neck. (I love my little blind fan-girl XDD)

Fawnroot:

She laughed, regained her balance, and returned Sunpond's hug. "I'm glad you think that. He saved my life several times and I care about him more than anything." She smiled up at Callum.

Sunpond squeaked and pranced in a big circle. "Awwww!"

Raven:

She looked up at him

Raven:

She shrugged, looking at the ground

Zayne:

"No it's okay!" He exclaimed, looking worried. "It's me! It's all just me, it's not you."

Raven:

"I don't think that's true." she said. Oh my goodness, this is my first crush, I don't know what to do! Do I talk to him? Do I not talk to him? Do I...........?

Raven:

She was confused, "What's up?"

Raven:

She blushed, still hugging him

Raven:

She looked into his blue eyes, if people were staring at them she didn't care

(I could SOO see them kissing right now)

Raven:

Her ears flicked now and then

Raven:

She hugged Zayne

Raven:

She nodded. "Because if they found out and the council didn't back me up......." she shuddered slightly.

Raven:

She nodded. "I mean, council member Fig made a good point, why did I put up with it for so long? I think I was because I didn't know who to trust."

Raven:

"It's just..... Some of the council members don't seem to believe that I didn't have any part in my father's plan." she said quietly

Raven:

She blushed, looking at Zayne, "I think you should know, that you're the first person I've trusted..... ever. I've learned how to read what type of people they are based off of what they say and how they act, but I trusted you when I first met you."

Raven:

"Thank you for helping me in the trial."

Raven:

She smiled and took his hand

Raven:

She nodded, "Yeah, I mean if you want to."

Raven:

Her blushed deepened, "Uh..... um......"

Zayne:

"No, keep going!" He exclaimed, smiling. "You're super good!"

Callum:

"My favorite color is a yellowish green," he began, looking thoughtful. "I was born in the early spring, like February. I really like the cinnamon rolls with sugar sprinkled on top and my favorite hobby is..." he looked at Fawnroot. "Is hanging with Fawnroot."

Zayne:

He pricked his ears and watched her with a smile.

Sunpond:

“Like everything! Your birthday, favorite color, favorite food, any hobbies, or things like that! I just want to get to know you.” Fawnroot folded her wings then cocked her head at Callum, smiling gently. “You are the first centaurs she’s ever met. She‘s just curious.”

Ben:

He cocked his head to her, somewhat surprised. “Huh...well if you wanted to, you could come with me. Although, I won’t be doing much-I’m catering the food so you could help me dish out.” He suggested, oblivious to her affections.

Sultaan:

He smiled and nodded. Getting up, he pricked his ears suddenly, frowning toward the entrance in confusion. He walked out and looked around. "Do you hear that? It's music," he signed.

Reba: “Oh, come on Sultaan! I am too busy feeling bad for myself to pity anyone else!“ she joked, but then sobered again. “I guess I have put you in the spot... You should have some time to think about it. Now, would you like to look for Kelly with me?”

(can they go to the festival?!? 😁)

Raven:

Her eyes were bright with happyness and she wanted to see all the different sights. "Come on, let's go explore!"

Sultaan:

"By making you feel sorry for me," he signed, looking up at her with sad eyes. He had gotten so used to having the same, tired expression all those years that it seemed to be his permanent face.

(BRUH THIS RP IS GOING BY TOO FASTTT AUGHHHHHHHH IT FEELS LIKE TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I MADE THIS NEW PARTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Merrick:

He was almost positive his entire face was red, but he cleared his throat softly and grinned. "Oh, thank you. I don't think I've ever looked this fancy." He said gently, then squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Ready to go? I can hear the music starting."

Merrick nodded towards the center of the campsite where the figures of other centaurs were starting to appear and lively music and laughter reached their ears. He looked down at her and smiled again.

(oof. wut if they see stupid Rachel and Keane... )
