"I suppose some sort of cave-exploring job exists, but I don't know its name. It would probably be for mapping out the caves in order to allow the city to expand more."

Adeena couldn't help but roll her eyes, especially since they had just started looking. "Alright, fine," she sighed, continuing through the crowd. It didn't take too long for Adeena to notice an Italian food truck, and hoping it was promising, headed that way. 

Astra glanced back at the stage while they waited. "I'm so bored already, I wish father would really hurry up."

Vila shrugged, even though he knew he wouldn't. "Maybe."

Marshall nodded, still fidgeting. "Me too. The sooner he gets done the sooner I can get out of here".

"Why do you want to leave so badly?"

{Oop sorry it took so long to get around to progressing the thread. You're all welcome to start making your own threads now too!}

Before Adeena could order, the crowd erupted in cheers. She glanced over her shoulder to see what everything was about, and cringed when she recognized her father waving at his new subjects from an open carriage drawn by large bats. Grabbing Robin's arm, Adeena stepped out of the line and pulled him towards the stage they were supposed to be at for their father's arrival. "Come on," she hissed. "Father will be annoyed if we're late!"

Vita was there, wearing a flowy dress and glowing paint. She'd painted the extra design - an emerald serpent concealed in leaves just a shade paler - on her left arm, and her father had helped her out with the main pattern. As the carriage rode by, Vita spotted Adeena and Robin rushing towards the stage, and smiled a bit. Guess even the presidential family wasn't always where they were supposed to be.
