As Isaac scouted his way through the festival crowds, he kept turning to his side or behind him, mouth already open to begin sharing his newest thought, only to shake his head and slump a little. He and Miria had separated deliberately this time, and for a greater purpose. There were hundreds of people they needed to spread happiness to - even if there was something, or several somethings, for everyone. For one day of the festival they would have to do so individually, and then the rest of the week they could enjoy it in the best of ways: together

She hates falling asleep in public, as it's embarrassing and un-ladylike of her to do such a thing. At least she can hear a voice that she assumes that is speaking with her right now, which is slowly waking her up from her dazing. She brought her hands up to her face, just rubbing her eyes awake as much as she can. Once she fully opened her eyes-

Well, what a gentleman right in front of her. And, again, embarrassing that she is sleeping while he is trying to talk to her. Vileplume looked up at the new man, tilting it's large flower to the side.

"Oh, i'm sorry! I didn't mean to sleep while you were trying to talk to me." she quickly said, even though she doesn't know that the man was figuring out an introduction on her.

"Apology accepted!" Isaac flashed her a reassuring grin, though his brows quickly arched into a look so stern it was hard to believe he meant it. "Though I think you ought to apologize to such a fine place first. Asleep in the middle of the day in the midst of one of Reial's most exciting festivals? Your opportunity may never come again!"

As soon as he said that, he - well, he didn't quite realize any mistake, but immediately changed course before the young lady mistakenly apologized for something no fault of her own. "Perhaps you're from one of those islands where it's only natural to do so," he began with a meditative gaze at her festival attire. "The islanders sleep through the hottest part of the day and then stay awake until all hours of the night. Let me offer my own apology!"

My, what such spirit this man has inside! Erika smiled at him before she stood up, dusting her skirt off. "Ah, i'm afraid not, even though I would love to visit an island like that someday." Oh, taking a break from everything and just relaxing on a beach would be absolutely wonderful. Even though it's silly, but she can see herself as one of those island girls with flowers in their hair and drinking coconut milk from the shells.

"I didn't mean to fall asleep, it's just a medical condition. It shouldn't happen again, I hope." she mentioned. No, she isn't afraid or embarrassed to explain that she has narcolepsy, like a few family members had back then. Plus, there is medicine for her back on the ship.
