"Are you going?" Austin raised his brows upon being asked as he looked at the boy sitting across from him, quietly eating.
Valerie was too tired after morning training, so Austin was having breakfast with Rudolph instead.
Rhea and Parkinson were in the library—he was helping her with an assignment so she wouldn't fail.
Rudolph looked surprised. "You? A guy like you doesn't know about the festival?"
Austin gave a dry smile at the teasing before asking, "What festival? I haven't heard of any."
The summer festival was still months away, and nothing else came to mind.
"Oh... you mean the Harvest Festival?"
Rudolph nodded. "Yep. You know the town of Midir? They go all out with the celebration there. I'm thinking of taking Rhea—but with that assignment, she might not agree."
He added with a shrug, "It's a peaceful place. Pretty too. You really shouldn't miss it."
Austin paused, then a small smile tugged at his lips. "Hmm~ That does sound nice."
