Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[amitragic]

As was usually the case with these things, good weather was once more blessing the gathering of Fandom folk new and old. There was a bonfire, but it was mostly for decoration. And for s'mores, the makings of which were available at one of the nearby tables.

There was plenty of food, and there were tables and chairs set up all across the lawn (with light dustings of glitter where you least suspected it, naturally), and everything was ready for another welcome picnic!

[OCD up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

And that was Clare, staring.

It had been a while since Sidon had experienced any stares quite like that, and so he didn't think much of it, assuming the girl was just a bit shy. No matter, though! He was marvelous at bringing the best to a conversation, even when faced with the most silent of types!

"Well, hello there!" he called down his with a bright, rather sharp smile that glistened in the sun just right. "Isn't this the most marvelous picnic? I daresay, you must be one of the new students! Am I right? Or, at the very least, quite new to me!"

"Oh, sweet merciful Christ, you talk!"

This was going very well.

"I do talk!" Sidon agreed, as if overjoyed that she had noticed. "I rather enjoy talking, as a matter of fact, about anything and everything! What do you enjoy talking about?"

And then, a beat later, he let out a booming laugh, throwing up a hand in a gesture of forgetfulness. "But silly me, I am forgetting my manners! Allow me to introduce myself!"

He did rather miss introducting himself!

"I am Sidon!" With that he gave his fist a mighty pump in the air across his chest and fixed the girl with another beaming, toothy simle. "The Zora Prince! And you might you be?"

"Clare," Clare stammered. "Devlin. From Derry?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2021]

"Derry?" Sidon repeated with a curious tilt of his head, before he laughed again and opened his arms as if to welcome the concept of such a place. "Wonderful! It is spectacular to meet you, Clare Devlin from Derry! And where is Derry? Is that a place here on Earth? Or elsewhere? I hail from Zora's Domain, myself! That is on a world called Hyrule, and it is very, very far away!"

"It's in Northern Ireland," Clare quavered. "on Earth, near England?"

The demon goat made more sense, suddenly.

Well, if Astrid had known Sidon was going to be there, she could have just....gestured, and there you had it.

"Oh!" Sidon sounded delighted at this information. "I've heard of England before! I have a vague idea of where that is, but I have never been! I don't do much traveling around Earth these days, people tend to be rather surprised when I do, and that was even when I was smaller! But I have been to many places, such as Greece! And China! And quite a few more! Fandom High takes some excellent trips, as I'm sure you'll discover if you haven't already!"

"We were supposed to go to Paris as a class last year but it turned out none of us could afford it except for Jenny," Clare said, "which was probably for the best as no doubt my friend Michelle would have caused an international incident and gotten the lot of us booted out of the entire continent of Europe."
