Warpatober 2022

Still wearing his scarecrow costume, Shen Qingqiu could only stand in the crowd looking at Gallastus who had been attracting other Warpas and had been surrounding him by making various raven attractions. Gallastus seemed like someone who had no problem with hanging out with strangers while he knew that he himself would need a direction on how to socialise.
He decided that instead of waiting for Gallastus to finish his attractions he'd rather take a tour by himself. He had been doing it for a long time and there's no harm in doing it this time. He wandered aimlessly around and saw various stalls standing along the hallway and managed to visit a few to look for any interesting objects. Not sure if he's going to buy any or not, he prefers to save his savings rather than his impulse buying. He also has to look for Gallastus as he's younger but in fact, oftentimes the young Warpa is more mature than him. The thought made him realise, did Gallastus grow up too fast or was he the one who grew up slower?
He decided to visit a nearby outdoor cafe to cool himself as he contacted Gallastus his location and ordered a drink. While the first few minutes he did feel lonely, the more he spent his time alone the more he realised that even in solitude he could relax in a different way than when he's with Gallastus. His company was a different kind of peaceful time.
His drink came and he nodded to the waiter before he grabbed the warm cup heated by his hot cocoa inside.
As someone who preferred solitude, he chose the quietest seat on the edge to avoid the crowded busy street with loud noises that he could drown himself in. He didn't bring his noise cancelling headphones but the loud street didn't bother him as he started to drink his relaxing beverage. His phone later rang as Gallastus called him so he invited him. The raven arrived and Shen Qingqiu got another kind of peaceful solitude.
