Dalila walked through the crowds that surrounded beltane and grabbed a drink from a near by stall, determined to enjoy herself even if she didn't plan on jumping over any fires.

Unseen in the crowd, Ruella walked up behind her friend and took her arm. "And here we have Lady Dalila, Training Mistress for the Crown," She said, grinning. "How does my Lady like this evening's festivities?" She teased, for the moment putting her worries to the back of her mind

"Quite brilliant actually I'll have you know Ruella" Dalila responded before drinking down her drink and scanning the crowd. "Few people here" she said raising her eyebrows.

Ruella shrugged, still smiling. "Not as many as there could have been," she observed, thinking of those currently on the front. "But what can we do about that?" She sidestepped swiftly to avoid a small crowd of already druken revelers on their way to another drinks stall

Dalila grinned and waved to a friendly face. Then moving over to the stall she thrust a drink into Ruella's hands. "I have no idea" she replied continuing to grin.

Ruella accepted the drink with a smile. "So who are you going to jump with tonight?" She asked

Dalila rolled her eyes "Not jumping this year, just drinking. I feel it is the more sensible way to go" Dalila frowned having a thought "And you? Who are you jumping with?"

Ruella shrugged, brushing the question aside, although she couldn't help smiling. "That, my friend, is not to be discussed at this moment."

Dalila smiled intrigued somewhat but decided to let her leave it at that for now. Watching some people near by jump over the resident fire Dalila snorted as one woman slipped backward slightly and landed on a coal that proceeded to burn her behind.
"Lets hope your more graceful then some at least, or you'll be riding that horse of yours like a racer come tomorrow"

Ruella gave a vague smile. "I hope so too... I can't stand burns." She was glad she usually wore trousers under her dresses, as she knew the skirts were always a hazard. She watched as the woman was helped away, smiling wryly at her clumsy actions, then glanced back a Dalila

Dalila raised her eyebrows "Just pick one of the smaller fires" with a sigh Dalila watched the next couple walk up, the woman was eager but the male after seeing the last occurrence was reluctant and had to be dragged over by his partner. Dalila smiled "Now hes got the right idea"

Ruella smiled, kicking a rock to the side of the road. She watched the next couple jump the coals, staggering a little, faces white with surprise on landing. The man smiled sheepishly at his partner, and the two walked away into the crowd with arms around each other. She glanced back at Dalila. "See? Not all of them end badly."

"...But?" Ruella drained her own drink, immediately regretting missing lunch and dinner that day for preparations for this evening's events. She shook her head briskly, and put the cup down.

Dalila laughed at the other girl "Steady on, don't want to trip over the fire"
