In the enclave of Sui-no-Sato, we recognize that there are as many colors of love as there are fish in the sea or corals in a reef. It is certainly a pleasant feeling to see that the surface world is of the same belief - and that like much anything else, it makes for a solid excuse for a massive party that can apparently draw people together. It was my pleasure to attend more than one; and there were certainly a number of memorable events among them.

It can be said that all kinds of love draws all kinds, and one of the more memorable pairs was a faerie king from another world and their eccentric chocobo-girl partner offering photo opportunities. I can honestly say that I'd... never experienced anything like that before, to be quite honest. But it does go to show that all love is grand and good, even for those who may only be visiting.

There were plenty of artists to be seen around, and while I did not take the time to sit for a picture, it was always good to see more and more things like that. My time was more spent window shopping, taking in the number of different vendors to be found. While I may have been too... unready... to purchase from some of the vendors, I was making plans to sample several of the delicious-looking cafe opportunities on offer. From sweet to savory to salty and everything in between, there truly was something for all tastes. Though I admit that perhaps a swimsuit with a refreshing drink might have made for a better outfit than my issued suikan... things were rather warm, so dress to breathe!

All in all, remember that love is love, yes?
