Now, then. Your lesson. In Antiva, it is a holiday celebrated wildly. Masks are involved, so you'd love it. Festivities last at least a week, if not more. There are parades, shows, performances--painted bodies--women wearing gowns made entirely of flowers, for the plucking--large quantities of libations. They flood the very streets with wine. And if you are very good at celebrating, you are quite unconscious for the week that follows, which means you get out of the nasty bit of fasting that they ask of you.
In your parlor in Orlais, there is nothing that compares.
