[SWE] Festival of Lights 311 PC

GIDEON

Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes

Gideon had been in the Citadel for most of the day before the festival began, drinking in various bars around the city to prepare himself for the possibility of emotion in the night. If Jonah did appear, brought to life by Ludo...well, that would mean he was dead, surely, and Gideon wasn't sure how he felt about that, other than that it made him want to drink more of something that would burn his throat going down.

He was finally there though, lantern in his hands and not swaying all too much, keeping his distance from the crowd as he hung up his light. Little books painted on it to call back to his and Jonah's childhood studying and learning together, a small charm tied to the bottom that he'd received from his brother one day, made from a stone found on the cliffs...it was time to try his best to let those memories go. As he took his hands from the lantern he decided he would give over that sadness and heartbreak to Ludo, regardless of if his lantern was chosen.

What I've seen so far
The good ones always seems to break
