Fun (2)

Annalise continued to look around the market as she followed Rafael. There were children running around, couples walking hand in hand, and almost couples walking with someone behind them most likely for the young lady. 

"Is it like this in other towns? A big gathering like this?" Annalise asked since this was the only town she visited. 

"It differs from town to town how grand it can be. We mostly have festivals instead of big balls. There are a few parties held by the nobles and wealthy for the season so their daughters and sons can marry. If you ever go to Lockwood, this little gathering will seem boring. The capital is much more extravagant than all the other towns. They should be having a big ball by now," Rafael answered.

He only kept up with the ball for the king's birthday around the winter. If there was no trouble, he might be able to attend once again.
