When the day arrived for the Contemplation of Calm, Fine Branch indulged in their most contrariness. Full of restless energy, they went hunting for a warehouse rave, fully expecting to be frustrated and full of angst. Instead they discovered Jenzabar had organized one, and indeed it was a thing generally known around the Inky Agora. They spent the entire holiday dancing themself out.
The monks of the Most Serene Boundary monastery sent a cohort to the Temple of Serenity as part of the holiday. There were displays of tai chi, and zen archery, and other martial arts. Quelenna spent most of her day watching these displays, and when they invited others to participate, she joined in. Cathance went with her, but just watched; Auala, a half-elf monk in Freelancers, accompanied them and gave them some background on the history of it all.
As part of the holiday, various groups in Ripa Daneo and Gata Nahaki planned and performed elaborate tea ceremonies on the bridge spans across the gorge. Dryali was fascinated by this – certainly Stormview and Pteayo had no such gestures of goodwill – and spent his day watching these raptly. Of especial interest was the ceremony on the highest span, which only had Pteroti and Garuda. Dryali watched from a distance, using his eyes of the eagle.
