Preparing for the festival

When Jerick walked through the door of his home, he found that it was empty, his brother had already left. On the table, where his brother had been eating earlier that morning, was an empty grapefruit half turned on its side by the weight of the spoon sitting inside. Jerick shook his head at the absentmindedness of his brother and picked up the grapefruit, disposing of it by placing it into the compost trash. He took the spoon and placed it in the sink beside the rest of the dirty dishes. The dirty dishes his brother was supposed to clean.

Upstairs, Jerick was trying to pick out an outfit to wear to the festival. Dressing up wasn't something he did very often, and on this special occasion, he was hoping to impress a particular someone. A short, long sleeved tunic was pulled out from his closet, with a pair of hemp pants. The tunic was silver with dark blue trimming along the sleeves and neck. The pants were a soft, yellowish orange, honey color, with black buttons leading up to the waist. Jerick pulled both on with impressive speed, making sure to tuck the tunic into his pants. He finished off his outfit, by taking his brown belt with a black half dome buckle, and fastening it around his waist. After putting his cocoa brown, suede shoes on, Jerick left the house, excitement swelling in his chest.
