Of masks and dances
Chapter 15: Fair

In which a date is interrupted, then recovered.

The date chapter! I was not looking forward to this because I'm not from a dating culture, so the whole thing has always been a bit of Thing Other People Do*. Not only that, I am not on my best ground when writing cute fluff. It's not that I can't do it, just that I feel this need to splice story into it. If you read the chapter, you'll see right what I mean.
But it was an interesting experience. I like how writing fanfic of all things led me to write adventurously (well, it's an adventure for me). It really does feed back into my other writing.

* Fine, Tinder has made it so that even around here people have dates now, so we do have a dating culture as of now. It doesn't means I've ever actually gone on a date. And, bestie, I've been married.

The fair and the fairings
I wanted to make Windblume more like an old time fair, with fairings for the challenges and sticky-sweet confections. I skipped on the confections because it would bring about another bout of People Bothering Diluc and it would be just repetition. I hope you forgive me.
