NATE
Despite the similar settings, this is a far more somber get together than the other one on the beach, with no food, the games quiet, subdued, much like the people. Despite being in Caido this time last year, Nate had never actually made his way to the Festival of Lights before, had never made lanterns, never hung them.
Now he walks in with two clutched in his hands. Both of them are rough, Nate not used to making such delicate things. One is made of silver braided wires, shards of sea glass wrapped in it and refracting the light of the candle held up within. The other one is darker, thin twigs bound together, hiding instead of highlighting the candle light. Maea, and his brother. Maybe it would bring some actual closure.
There’s nothing he can really say in response the the awkward words, though that’s not going to stop him trying. ”Maybe next year you won’t have any.” Then a smile, a bump of his shoulder as Nate tries to offer some small comforts. Some hope, for the coming year. He’s glad Sunjata takes the lead, tells him where to hang the lanterns, because he’d be lost without it.
