According to the Sabonile priests, Hapoyela wishes to properly welcome the Foreigners and the kedan to the full scope of Tavimbi's hospitality, and has instructed the clergy to organize a suitably impressive celebration for the citizens of the oldest living Great Turtle. All Foreigners, as well as many notable kedan including the Family heads, are invited to attend a grand feast and celebration at the Sabonile Temple, one of the largest buildings in all of Hatal.

The clergy has promised an evening of good food, lively entertainment, and the magnificent blessings of Hapoyela. At the same time, the Sabonile will be hosting a soup kitchen in the Temple's courtyard, feeding the hungry and the poor, as dictated by their religious tenets and beliefs.

While those who receive an invitation to the event, which the Sabonile consider a sacred charge from Hapoyela, are not required to attend... it could be seen as a disrespect to their deity.

MOD NOTE: For the naked after party section, soul gems are still allowed to be worn. If your character isn't up for stripping down, they can excuse themselves from that segment of the evening, which will have no negative repercussions with the Sabonile. In this case, they will simply do a wave-over blessing from Hapoyela around the person, and bid them a pleasant evening before they go.

The voice is close enough that Erskine can tell right away that it's meant for him, even if he can't quite place it at first. It's been quite a while since they've spoken, after all. When he looks up it's a slow, careful movement--nudity might be the rule during the festival, but that doesn't mean staring at a person's more delicate areas is necessarily a good idea.

When he realizes who it is, he's doubly glad that he didn't let his eyes wander... although the scar on her hip does catch his gaze for a brief moment.

"I'm here," he replies, offering a small smile. "I thought that might count for something, at least. Enjoying the festival?"

She feels that something is off immediately, and almost starts to backtrack her teasing greeting. "It definitely counts," she smiles, settling across from him so she's modestly under the water and a safe distance away. "And it's... interesting to say the least. I never imagined being this... uh, open, with people."

Her brows furrow a little as she studies his eyes. "How have you been?"
