Aella smiled brightly at his enthusiasm. "I can't wait to see it. To see the floating candles will be heavenly. But it's all in honor to celebrate beauty. My mother always stresses the importance of beauty and the wealth within it and how it enhances our lives. It is a subtle thing, like a tree. It takes years for a tree to grow, but when we see it, if it grows just right, we are stunned by it. ANd some produce beautiful, sweet apples, while others, pears. They are all unique and beautiful in their own right, and this festival is meant to celebrate all such things. Though.. my mother.."S he giggled now, but then looked cautiously about, as if worried someone might over hear.. (like her mother) before she leaned in a bit closer towards Faolán and whispered, "Though my mother prides herself in the beauty of body above all else. She says it is very important for ladies to appear lovely, as it is our natural duty. We are to be lovely enough to catch a husband and then make beautiful children." She wrinkled her nose as she gave a playful smile. "While I believe it is all well and lovely, I think a mind should be just as beautiful. Not everyone can be born perfect. And beauty comes in many forms." But then she sighed, looking back over her shoulder again, her cheeks ripe with a blush before she turned back to the boy with a smile. "Though I am happy to be celebrating this. And I intend to celebrate it in my own way. I just hope my mother will allow me to purchase a candle. I'd very much like to participate, too, even, though I am meant to be participating as eh um... what would you call it? One of the beauties, I guess." She then realized she was rambling some and drew back, hands clasped before her as she lowered her gaze sheepishly.
"Will you be buying a floating candle, Faolán ?"
