[while this may not be the first time he's been to an event like this, it's not really his idea of fun. not since leaving a certain duo behind when the gates of eudio shut. were he anybody else then perhaps he'd take this as a new chance. would wander the festival out of more than simple curiosity. but he's engaged now, would be planning his wedding if the speed force hadn't seen a need to intervene. and then there was len, and that's a whole other complication that he has no way of coming to terms with.
but despite all that, barry is there, taking full advantage of the sweet treats offered outside the confines of the tent. he takes part in the lantern release, a deep purple lantern his contribution to the mix, fine lines of silvery-blue hand painted along the bottom edge. it's a memory released into the night, but one he isn't going to explain.
later, as night wears on though, barry ends up finding his way towards the togetherness tent, ultimately taking a place at the bar for most of the evening. it's the first time since coming to the city that he's found a drink that'll actually affect him, so he doesn't waste any time in looking for supplier details to accompany the bottle of pale amber liquid he steadily empties through the night. when he does finally end up making his way towards the snack table, it's with enough drink in him to prompt him in to finally trying some of the treats. the left table chosen for reasons that may be obvious to those who knew him before. but with the rest of the bottle still waiting for him, he can't find it in him to really care how it may look.]
