( It isn't her first time at an event like this but that doesn't make it any less exciting. When you're a saniwa raised by the government, your world is pretty limited to only your citadel and the occasional trip outside of it like this.
She enjoys watching the performances. It's always impressive to see the swords chosen do their unique dances. Likewise, being one of the saniwa raised by the government, there's a certain expectation for her to perform as well. After all, this might be an event to celebrate the accomplishments of the saniwa but they wouldn't be here at all if not for their swords. With her own performance coming up, she wears a veil over her face which gives away which dance she's going to do. It's the same one she's had to do every time so far but she doesn't mind. If she can do this for others, its a small price to pay for their support.
But there's still some time before her performance if you want to grab her )
5. Festivities
( This is what she's really here for!!! As mature as she acts, she's still a child and one that doesn't get out very often at that so when she's at a festival, you better believe she's going to enjoy as much of it as she can.
There are games to play, foods to try, and they have to do as much as they can before the fireworks at the end.
There's a water balloon game nearby that's caught her attention and she's crouched next to the water's edge, a paper hook in hand and very carefully trying to lift one above the surface. It's close. She's so close and then-- )
Ah!
( It falls right back into the water. Well, there go her three tries and she doesn't have a single balloon left to show for it. The vendor holds up three fingers to show she can try again for another three hundred yen and she starts to reach into the sleeve of her kimono, trying to shake out any loose change she can find... )
7. Fireworks (before a Surprise Attack)
( She'd rushed her swords and friends to get a good place to watch the fireworks so now they've arrived a little early and there isn't much going on. The fireworks haven't even started yet and people are only just now arriving with their own groups to get a spot. There's music playing in the background and the night sky looks particularly dark tonight. Well, it was supposed to be cloudy so that's expected. It's too early to really to know that anything might go wrong so for now, everyone is still relaxed. )
The clouds are so heavy tonight. Do you think it'll rain?
