"Remind me what a 'Zinder' is again?"

Leonis looked out on the spring festival with an air of confusion, his wrinkled face contorted into a frown. They didn't usually get this many offworlders coming to these sorts of things. It perplexed the old Commander in Chief to no end. It wasn't the tourism they were used to, and it all seemed to be stirred up by this Zinder thing.

"It's a dating app, Commander," his assistant remarked, the young man adjusting his glasses. "You... know what those are?"

"Can't say I do," he shrugged "Yeh right lost me, son. If th' strangers of th' galaxy are lookin' t' hook up, whadda they need an app for? There's folks all over th' damn place."

"I believe the application is that it's more streamlined, sir."

"Eh, maybe," Leonis sighed. "I still think its a bit on th' side of lunacy. Guess I can't complain about th' tourism though..."

"Will... you be joining the festival, Commander Fynch?"

"Nope."

And with that Leonis Fynch returned to his transport.

 

[Nolan Knightfall]

Lothal – Teahouse – Porch
Objective: Festival of the Root Tea
NPC(s): Arthur Sterling​

Normally, the Knightfall Heir would not be caught as such events unless it suited his needs. Today, however, that proved to be the case along with the injuries he was still nursing from his more personal pursuits. The medical technology at his disposal to mend his wounds remained far more advanced than the current medical technology—something he sought to rectify in the future—but limited physical therapy and exercise would be important for breaking in his body once more. Chasing the Loth Wolf would be an excellent field exercise. He did not put much stock into luck, but, in the spirit of the occasion, the Silent Philanthropist figured it would be best to at least participate and secure himself at least one tail.

Besides, it would do wonders for his playboy reputation. Who would not like to see a strapping man demonstrate his athletic ability?

However, there was also the reclusive aspect of his reputation. Already, he could spy several lingering eyes on his person. He had to turn down a few offers rather gently or offer rainchecks just to get in the door of the teahouse and order a few special blends they had in stock. Still, the Most Eligible Bachelor had other reasons for attending the event. The Zinder organization behind it had invested resources into the event. But the Knightfall Successor had found several discrepancies with the app.

Besides, Sterling had forced him to go out and get fresh air at what might have effectively been gunpoint. This was one of the few events that might stimulate his mind from simply going through the trained motions of his carefully crafted person via a private investigation into the event and its patrons and consumers. That and the chance to interact with a lothal wolf had its benefits too.

Even if he did not admit it out loud to anyone.

Hedging his bets, the Silent Philanthropist had the teahouse brew a few cups of tea as well as collect a few snacks. A cup for himself to enjoy, and a few snacks and tea cups to cool down and safely offer to the lothal wolves should he find himself unable to catch their tails in his current state. However, that was an off-chance.

He would catch them, if for no other reason than to prove he could, and then offer the tea and food afterwards. An easy cover should anyone investigate too closely into his physical capabilities. The Knightfall could always blame his success on the snacks "conveniently" in his pocket.

As he sat outside nursing his tea with his small bag of tea and snacks set aside, the Rich One observed the festivities with a careful observant gaze—never letting his guard down despite his nonchalant yet perfectly postured demeanor.

It's calm, for a festival. Almost relaxing.

Almost.
