[Open] Festival Eve

[whatoncewas]

She'd stayed away from the others a bit more than strictly required, it was true, but she'd wanted to be left with her thoughts as she'd carefully cut and folded the paper for her lantern in the trees, perched on a wide flat rock even as the light started to dim and the first of the floating lanterns had been released, the light shining through the trees, brighter than the fading sun.

She didn't immediately move to add her own to the evening's release though, instead putting even more care into hers. She didn't intend to send one every day as some were, or follow most of the festivities but... but she felt it would be good that this one mattered all the same.
