Once the time to eat had been announced, Janius turned and knelt to face Kaj-Julan with the same proud smile he had before. "Congratulations...Kaj-Julan. It is wonderful to watch you grow." Janius gently pulled him into a hug. "I'm sure you will be and ample benefit to everyone. You're a big-hearted boy, you know that?" Janius moved Kaj-Julan away and held him by the shoulders. His smile evened and he looked into Kaj-Julan's eyes curiously. "Did you see or hear anything interesting when you tasted the sap?"

The group began to shuffle and murmur as the pack helped hand out food and drink.

Ri'vashi's movement caught Gallus' eye. He spun on a heel to watch her until it was clear that she was pacing away in a rush. To that, he unclasped his hands and jogged to catch up. "Hey, you aren't staying to eat?"

By that point, she had obscured herself from the eyes of the crowd. Gallus briskly walked whether she answered or not. Once they were both out of sight and stopped, Gallus gave Ri'vashi a concerned look, craning his neck. "Are you alright, Ri'vashi?" He asked with no trace of teasing.
