The Empire of Reimia (3)

"Much better than a statuette," Moriner thought as he left the amphitheater. After examining the toy with interest, he carefully put it in his bag and headed home. Overall, he was pleased with the time he had spent: pleasant music, a beautiful performer, exotic food, a crisp December frost outside, the crunch of snow under his feet, friendly and smiling people, cheerful children playing in the snow. It was as if everyone had forgotten about the tense situation in the country and the possible upcoming war. Moriner thought that he should remember and fully enjoy these peaceful moments: something told him that with each passing day, there would be fewer and fewer of them.
