We're having a festival a week from today, to celebrate Winter Convergence. That is, ah, when we'll have a full view of Antiqua in our sky. It's usually in the square, but - this year we'll be holding it in the common building, out behind Edmund's shop.
[Because the square was a little bit burned down in the last raid, and that's just depressing.]

[Todd has to stop and think.]
There's egg hunts and baby chicks and stuff. And rabbits in baskets. I think there's a church thing, too, but I don't really do that kinda thing. Halloween's when you dress up and go trick-or-treating. Free candy, yo.
[Halloween is apparently Todd's favorite.]
