There were a lot of townspeople reveling. Dancer and musicians performed in the middle of the town center. Behind the main shops was a man make ice pond. People could be seen skating. Kate knew Alyx and Reika were nervous as they were not accustomed to being around this many people. She exited the carriage and took Reika's right hand and once Alyx exited, she placed her right hand over his left. Kate led them both toward the dancers. They stayed for a few moment then walked down the lane to the venders.<br/>The venders were traders that had come from all over the kingdom. They passed jugglers and street performers, mimes and puppeteer. Kate knew the two had their childhood taken from them. She knew the puppeteer and laughed as she watched the show with children that were gathered around them. Kate watched her companions' faces and laughed and smiled with them.<br/>They walked around the venders and shopped. She encourage Reika to shop. They stopped at a lute vender and Kate purchased strings. She looked at Reika, "Is there an instrument you want to learn to play." Kate spoke to Alyx, "You may shop for anything you desire."
