Mino swapped several partners throughout the next portion of the dance. The thing about Aristalian dances, they last a good while. The songs seemed to get longer and longer as time passed, but Temorin was just as strong and full of energy as when they started.

Xolia was completely fine with that. She was having a lot of fun, and when she was having fun, energy for her came up out of nowhere. And given that this is the most fun she's had in a while, she had a lot of spare energy.

Mino eventually danced his way back to Xolia. Almost an hour had gone by since they began, and it was finally winding down.
"Ha, how are you enjoying your first festival? Are my people and I arising to your expectations?"

She had a big smile on her face. " Yeah, it's really fun! ...Thank you. "

"This...doesn't have to be over. There is more to see. I think it is a marvelous idea to try out some treats from the local bakery. I have heard it is the best in my kingdom. Perhaps it would be a good was to fill ourselves afrt al that dancing. "
He couldn't help but grin, seeing how happy she was. Something in Temorin made him desire nothing more than to keep her smile bright.

" Yes, that would be nice. " Her happy smile stayed. If there was one thing she liked to do as a child, it was going to the local bakery with her friends and buy a singular baked good, then split it among them.

"Alright then, let us slip away."
He quietly lead her just passed the market and into a small courtyard surrounded by shops. The smell of the bakery alone was enough to guide the way. Scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, chocolate, red velvet and so much more filled the air, luring all to it like moths to light.
"I believe this is our stop."

" It smells good. I hope it tastes as good as you say it does. "

The bakery was bright, warm and welcoming. Mino waved to the owner of the shop, a more serious face falling over him.
"I'm sure it will."
He gestured to the case, signaling for Xolia to take her pick. There seemed an endless supply of food to chose from.

She looked around at all of the choices. " ...Theres so many. "
