Considering themselves to live in harmony with nature, the elves too believed in certain practices around the time that the plants were beginning to flourish and bloom. Of course, being more attuned to nature, their predictions about plants, harvests and such was far more accurate. Maybe the elfling was just... homesick. Spring was always a joyous occasion. She wasn't sure if Keryth shared her excitement, but a gathering like this would mean that they could meet a whole host of new people. Why was Keryth taking his own sweet time to pack up? she thought, lifting her hand to knock on his door, but then thinking better of it.

It wasn't like Keryth didn't want to go. The festival would provide an ample number of people to swindle and steal from. The problem he had with it, was the exposure. Even though his partner was disguised, she still was the elven princess, if anyone was sent to look for them, they'd definitely scour the location of this spring flower festival. There was a middle ground though, maybe they'd expect Keryth and Zyra to be the first to arrive, given their elven ancestry, if the two could only delay their travel to Orchidia, perhaps they'd be safe? If the festival was already raging, it'd be more difficult to spot the two young elves...

Shoving all the worrying thoughts away, she decided to focus on the good stuff. This was exactly what she had craved from day one, the freedom to travel and to explore. The elf, now had what she wanted her brief span of time. She had already visited two different cities and each had offered her a nice slice of experience, some realizations and a lot of special moments that weren't monitored by the elder elves of her family. 'Come on! Come on!' she tried again, now fervently knocking on her partner's door. They had to get a move on, they'd probably already missed so much and accounting for the time it was going to take to travel... Zyra was now worried, would they even make it in time.

They'd be crossing several towns on the way, Keryth wondered if he could cause any more delay by convincing Zyra to stop by in a few of them. Considering her enthusiasm to get to Orchidia as fast as possible, that probably wasn't going to work. Nonetheless, he'd have to improvise on the way. For now, he grabbed his rucksack and her bag, hauling both over his shoulders, like the pretentious gentleman he was trying to be, smiled at Zyra. If he was to get his way, he'd have to be nice to her, she usually melted like a butter, if he managed to make her feel special. "So, my princess, ready?" he said as they exited the hotel.

The very first one, which they pretty much had to circumvent was Dahlia. Dahlia was apparently infamous for hosting dark mages it would be a terrible place for elves to venture into. So despite wanting to rush, the two had to waste a fair bit of extra time to take a longer route and not cross the town. So Zyra was now keen on making up for lost time, it didn't matter if they had to sleep a little lesser or jog instead of walk for a decent fraction of their journey. Despite all her wishes though, she was careful not to offend Keryth and indulge his delaying tactics just a little bit. She trusted that he understood the importance the festival had for her. She also knew that he was probably aware of the long-term risks, while she was only concerned with the short-term gratification.
Finally, when they reached, Zyra was so exhausted, she had to spend almost one entire day just resting... If only the girl had known that her plan would backfire this way...

They only passed the hill atop which most of the main town of Era stood. Which was fine, because Keryth had no interest in running into cops. Cops would always mean trouble. Then, of course, they crossed the capital, which had finally begun looking more like its regal self again, after all the rigorous repairs that followed the attack that had happened. There were places he tried to lure Zyra into, but she was stubborn, even his charm didn't work. Finally, he gave up and just let her take the lead and haul them to Orchidia. After reaching however, the two young elves found the closest inn and simply crashed there.
