When Melou brings Angela back into the castle it's around about when dinner would normally be served. However, it's a festival day, so the household has already eaten, in order to be able to head outside for the evening's games.

He pulls her into his room, obviously excited, and starts rummaging through a trunk.

"Get you your mask in just a minute."

Angela holds out her hands for his things, holding them while he stands and waits. She wonders if it's bad form to really think he's attractive, standing there shirtless. But then, she also figures no one else can hear her thoughts, so she stopped worrying.

"Okay." She looks at the other jumpers, and no one else seems to be getting singed, at least.

Most of the people have been doing this their entire lives. Earlier, the younger children would have been out with their parents, practicing with torches and decidedly smaller fires.

When it's finally his turn, Melou gives her a final smile before gearing himself up and then taking a running start.

He is, naturally, successful and still smiling when he returns to her.

Naturally. Angela, who took off her mask a little earlier, holds out his shirt to him and kisses his cheek. "You're good at that."

"Lots of practice. Also don't want to get hurt. It's a good motivator." He's grinning and sweaty and grabs her around the waist, pulling her against him for a long kiss.

She doesn't mind the sweaty part much, and he tastes like ale and apples. Her arms go around his neck and she kisses him as long as he kisses her.

He pulls away eventually, although doesn't let her go.

"Ready to go back?"

She's staying pretty close, too. "I think so," she murmurs.

"Hang on." He runs back to the bonfire for a moment and returns with two lit torches, handing one to her. "Need to take these with us to relight the fire in my room."

She smiles. "Okay. That sounds nice." Cozy, even. There was something to be said for fire on a cold night.

[dragon_twin]

Oh, she'll be cozy.

He takes her free hand and starts the trek back up the hill to the castle. Where they can continue the celebration in private.
