Hosted in Winterbloom, which resides in Winter's Breath, those attending have again been given charms to prevent from freezing.

As cliché as it sounded, the Hearts and Hooves Festival seemed like a pretty good place for a date. Not that he'd really given his partner much choice in the matter, as he'd basically just told him he was taking him. Though Sugar hadn't seemed to mind the omittance of the asking part, especially when the darker stallion had mentioned treats. Truth be told, the treats had been his main reason for even considering the town as a whole for their venue.
Yet now, Tannen Noel was faced with an enchanted and being told the thing could tell him what to expect this coming year. His brows furrowed slightly, lips pursed as he looked at the stallion next to him. “Whaddya think, babe? This thing gonna tell us if we're gonna crash and burn?” He chuckled at the audacity of the thought as he slipped one arm around his smaller man. “But what can it hurt, right?”
His horn glowed a soft gold as he lifted and struck a match, holding the flame to the candle's wick long enough for it to ignite.

A soft tap on Sugar's nose accompanied his deep chuckle, “Don't tempt me.”
Noel snorted at the dual blue flames flickering in front of them, the glow around his horn snapping out; the match having been suspended in the air dropped into a trash bin without the aide of his magic. Sugar's still cheery tone kept his mood from souring thanks to the candles and his golden gaze moved to the stall and booths before them. Small toys, treats and a number of things provided ample distraction from the meaning of the candles they'd lit. He looked down to the male beside him, preparing to question him about what he'd like to do but he seemed very focused on something. Intently so, in fact.
Noel leaned forward, reaching over to brush his hair over his shoulder in order to get a better look at what he seemed to be staring at. He really wasn't all that surprised when he tracked his gaze to the stand full of stuffed teddy bears. “C'mon, let's go get you one,” he grinned as he threw his arm over his shoulder, winking down at him.

Horioka had no idea why she was even the least bit concerned, for she always knew that her wife wasn't exactly going to fly off with some other, not going to break that deep and rather everlasting bond that they had. But every year she'd come to face Valentine himself, like some sort of test. A love test? Maybe. For she knew that she'd prove it to everyone that she and Torabura were meant to be forever and ever. Or maybe at least just to the Alicorn of Love himself.
This time, not shockingly, was no different when she lit the candle and it glowed a brilliant yellow. The little gray unicorn wasn't shocked but she could still be thrilled all the same with the results and she held it up before Valentine to show it off with a smirk. Tora herself might not have been there, wherever she happened to be bless her wandering butterfly heart, but Hori herself was always in Winterbloom for the shop. Almost. So it felt just right to stop by and light the candle up for another year to see that bright yellow glow.
But she was the only one that had gotten it out of the line so far, her eyebrows pulling together for the two stallions before her that were clearly there together. Both blue, but then it didn't exactly mean 'relationship' sorts of love, so could be that they had lost in in other areas or would? Especially since the two of them seemed so set. A smile crossed her face as she watched them walk off towards something different with smiles on their faces and the little tattoo artist floated the candle beside her head lazily as she went off on her own another way.
Really she should have been getting back to the shop, but she wanted some chocolate and if there was ever a day when one should have some today was that holiday! Especially given the entire month was just one big opportunity to chow down on things of the sweet variety.

So many festivals and happenings above water, so many chances to see new things and go to more exciting places. Though she'd needed to be charmed to get to this one with her own Spring alignment, Raripila hadn't been overly worried about that. Cold had been all that she had known for years upon years, at least this time there was light and joy and laughter all around her as she experienced it. Everywhere that she looked there was something new to see and her fins were nearly buzzing with joy from just being in the same area as all these happy ponies. Maybe she could get some of these beautiful flowers to take home with her too! Though... they looked as though they were made of ice rather than plant material.
Leaning down, she sniffed at one or two of them and just the proximity had her realize just the concerning chill coming off the blooms. Alas, they were pretty but none of them would be coming with her. Someday when she got a camera and could come back maybe she could take a picture of them at least, for they truly were beautiful as the glimmering snow all around in Winter happened to be. Shaking off that minor let down, Raripila wandered to where she saw a group of ponies that seemed to be gathering for something with candles. Fire was new to her and while it didn't startle or scare her, it was something she viewed with respect no matter what form it took.
So when a candle was pressed into her hoof by a pony from behind a booth, the little aquatic's fins flared up in surprise but she peered at them as they explained the different color flames with curiosity in her eyes all the same. "Love" wasn't something she'd ever experienced other than her love of her mother really, of her siblings too? But they claimed it could be either romantic or something else so there wasn't any fear as she lit it. Though it turned out Rari's answer wasn't quite as fun as she had hoped. With a chuckle and a sigh the blue glow of flame reflected in her green eyes, so loss it was then. Really she'd already experienced that after leaving her mother, so likely it meant her mother would be gone to her entirely now.
Was she supposed to blow this out now? She didn't know exactly what she was supposed to even do with it, so instead went to turn around in order to ask and smacked straight into some other pony, nearly dropping her candle. "Oh I'm so so sorry!" though it felt loud when she said it, really Raripila's voice came out just above a whisper of concern and apology as she looked upward into gold eyes. "Please forgive me, there aren't this many ponies in Drizzletown I..." she clammed up.

tab Ishmael, not one for festivals or anything pertaining to the ground itself, followed Queeqeg with a look of dissatisfaction. A charm held from his neck, swaying with each step as he pointedly ignored the activities Queeqeg swept themselves into. Stubborn? Sure, one could say that. Ishmael liked to say he never asked for any of this and was dragged into it kicking and screaming, but stubborn was a good word for it.
tab "You'll be fine if I leave to wander your own for a bit, yeah? I have to take a business call; one of our local celebs is throwing a fit about what another salon did to their hair." Queeqeg's voice startled Ishmael, golden eyes flicking to give them a 'are you serious' look before absently shrugging. Fine, he could be a big boy.
tab So off Queeqeg went and alone Ishmael was. He wandered, as a lost fish often does, recoiling from the various decoration stands and cookie stands. He didn't want to commit, honestly. He never wanted to be here; if he picked a task he might be there longer. What he had wanted was to see Queeqeg, but the aquatic had heard of the festival and, of course, ran in like a bush fire, dragging Ishmael along.
tab Although, he couldn't escape one activity. He found himself swept in the activity of the festival and dragged in the candle line, somehow later with a candle firmly in his hooves. He stared at it, glowering as the Alicorn of Love handed him a match. Fine. Screw it. He'd try.
tab Blue. His eyes narrowed, mouth gritting. This was why he didn't leave the water; no candles to tell him some grim s**t about his life or forewarn him. He turned around, about to leave when suddenly someone collided into him. He stumbled, ears pulling back as he whirled to view the culprit... only to find a nervous pony immediately apologizing. s**t, he wasn't in the habit of yelling at someone for making a mistake they knew they did.
tab "It's fine," he grumbled lowly, voice a natural mix between smooth and deep. His eyebrow quirked, however, as the other aquatic commented on the number of ponies, instantly nodding. "Yeah, too many ponies, actually. Can't see in-front of me."

tab Ishmael's eyebrow cocked, again. Yeah, that's why he liked it underwater. He almost made that comment, too, but her sudden movement caught him off-guard, eyes trailing to her lure. Huh, neat. Was she trying to cover it? Why? It was pretty, he guessed. He hadn't met many deep sea aquatic's, but the glow of his eyes had always been one of his most vain prides. He was sure a lure would also be stunning.
tab His eyes lowered to the smaller pony, noting her candle. He stared at his, then hers, fins twitching gently. Cute. Ishmael wasn't one for strangers, but a strange thing happened right then and there; a tiny grunt left him, mixed with a hint of a chuckle. A hint.
tab "Guess so. Loss of love; how morbid." He scrunched his nose at his candle, leaning forward and glancing at her before pointedly blowing both their candles out.
tab "It's nonsense. Don't let it bother you, if it does." He straightened his back, setting his candle down on a table. He had heard they melted the candles back down and would use them again for next year, although they also didn't mind if you took your candle home. He didn't care either way.
tab "If you don't like crowds why are you here?"
