Tris lay on the roof, tears stained her cheeks.
earlier Niko, Rosethorn and Lark had announced the teens could go to a spring festival in the village with each other (Or a friend of their choice) if they got all their lessons and chores done.

Of course Tris was first done. She had asked this lovely guy friend Dominique who she had met whilst shopping, but he was going with his sister who was new to town.
so she lay there staring up to the sky.

"What's up coppercurls?" Briar asked climbing up the ladder to the roof, and sitting next to her.

"I'm fine." Tris grumbled turning over so her favourite sibling wouldn't see her tears.

"Your voice says otherwise Tris." Briar said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine." She repeated.

Briar sighed "Fine, be like that." He lay back staring up to the clouds that were slowly turning golden.

They lay like that in silence until the stars came out and Tris was getting cold.
Briar noticed her shivering, and he pulled her into his arms so they kept each other warm.

"Tris, have you got someone to go with to the festival?" Briar asked quietly.

"No." She sniffed crying into her brothers shoulder.

"There there. Coppercurls." Tris scrunched up her nose in disgust at her brothers immaturity. "Will you go with me then?"

Tris thought for a second, then seeing Briars attempt of doing puppy dog eyes she laughed. "Yeah sure." She said hugging him.

She climbed down the ladder to run to her rooms. Briar stayed for a moment to stop his golden brown skin from being rosy. before joining his sister down stairs.

The festival was days away, Tris had been getting ready, working out good hairstyles to keep the lightning bolts tied up. Sandry made The three girls outfits, Briar protested that he didn't need a fancy outfit. Even Daja was having fun and joining in, Sandry even convinced her to wear a dress, but the trader girl protested loudly beforehand.

It was the morning of the festival, the first day of spring.
Tris got dressed in a purple dress with black lace around the skirt, with a purple cardigan to match and long boots.

The festival started early in the day with a market and ended with a dance.
The Children got 5 silver astrels each. to spend through the day including for food.

They left Winding Circle with Niko leading the way. But Tris' teacher couldn't keep up with the rushing teens.

Sandry instantly stopped at a clothing store probably to be drowned in cloth as a dress began unraveling to come to her hands.

Daja looked around until she spotted a forge and a man making necklaces.

Briar and Tris searched around stopping here and there at book stalls and stalls selling plants.

Briar stopped, Tris assumed that he saw a nice tree or a rose bush, but he walked over to a jewelry stand, Tris followed looking at the Bracelets and carefully made necklaces. Briar picked up one in the shape of a cloud and lightning bolt.

"How much is this?" He asked the woman threading beads onto a thread.

"2 crescents mist'r" The woman said holding out her palm. Briar placed the requested amount in her brown hands. "Good doin' bu'iness wit' ya." The woman said as they turned away.

"You not the jewelry type." Tris joked to her brother.

"I'm not, but I hope you are." He said stopping her placing the necklace around her neck.

Tris gasped at the gentleness as Briar pulled her into a hug. "I love it Briar." She said hugging him tightly.

"Love you too." Briar whispered unnoticed by his sister.

They continued the day together, buying each other gifts, and their sisters gifts too.
by the time of the dance they were just about broke.
The four teens met in the middle of the square of stalls where the dance was to be held.
They Exchanged gifts, then met with their partners for the first dance.

They waltzed then did faster dances and back to slow ones to the beautiful romantic music.
Later into the night the started inviting people to come up and sing as the musicians played accompaniment.
Sandry went up with Daja and sang a beautiful piece.

Tris pushed Briar as their sisters stopped singing. and the crowd cheered.

"go sing pleeeeaaaaasssseeee" Tris said. (Being the only of the siblings to hear Briar sing)

"I-I can't." Briar stuttered mentally kicking himself for sounding weak.

"Please?" Tris asked holding onto his arm doing puppy dog eyes at him.

"Fine." Briar said, standing up and going to the musicians, and whispering to the flute plaers the lute players and some of the drummers.

and then he sang. (As I Am Heather Dale)

I suppose that I look different without the robes and crown
I come this day before you with no riches, no renown
For here I am no leader, I am just a humble man
And I only ask you take me, you take me as I am

Tris gasped smiling at her brothers beautiful voice.

I'm not looking for perfection, I'm not offering a saint
I'm not looking for a pretty bird to put in some restraint

Tris swayed to the song. as everyone got up to dance.

The only thing I want is that you love me if you can
And I only ask you take me, you take me as I am

I offer you a look inside, I offer you that trust
I need your strength to help me fight the battles that I must
I need you to remind me of the light we bear within
That there's more to life than struggle and the things we seek to win

Tris saw Dominique come up to her, he bowed.

"May I have this dance?"

"Yes." Tris nodded smiling.

Don't take me out of duty, don't take me out of pride
Just take me if the man you see is one you'd stand beside
I'm offering an open heart, I'm asking for your hand
And I only ask you take me, you take me as I am

You take me as I am

they ended the song and the dance.

Briar walked down bowing to the clapping crowd. Taking Tris to the side from Dominique.

"I thought you wrote all your songs?" Tris asked after hugging him in congratulations.

"I do." Briar answered.

"But... Who was that about?"

Briar leaned closer to her. "You." He said claiming her lips with his. Tris leaned into the kiss. They held each other tightly. breaking away. Tris gasped.

"I love you." Briar said cooly.

"I-I love you too."
