Rukeewei continued to stay with Ariel and Sabine as they tried some of the other games. Sabine was of course not very talkative, but Rukeewei and Ariel spoke for a while. He also introduced Ariel to a few people he knew that they ran into, just to help her build more connections. Fendros eventually convinced Ahnasha to get away from the food vendors before she made herself sick, so they moved on to watch some of the other shows. Meanwhile, Meesei and Janius both performed rather poorly in their last dance, in comparison to those around them. Lorag couldn't help but to laugh as he watched. Although neither of them really outperformed the other, Lorag would probably say that Meesei was more impressive just to he could tease Janius about it. Of course, if he did that, he would run the risk of Janius coming up with something about him falling on his face as soon as Janius tugged on him. 

After a few hours, pretty much all of the group was done for the night. They all ended up returning to the inn, though some at different times. Ariel took a detour to go make an appointment with someone who could approve a loan for her, while Sabine joined Meesei, Lorag, and Janius as they returned to the inn. Most of them would likely be heading to bed soon, but they decided to relax in the inn for a short time before retiring for the night. Those who had not eaten at the festival ordered at least a small dinner, and perhaps a drink, though Lorag was sure to stick exclusively to water this time, at Meesei's behest. Ironically, the inn seemed to be quite a strange place for the pack to socialize, at least to most of them. Usually, when they were in public places, they were there for a specific reason, then left. Now, they were simply laughing and conversing as normal. It was strange having to watch what they said to avoid implying what they actually were. 

Eventually, Ariel returned to the inn as well and joined the rest of the pack. Rukeewei had not been involved in the pack's conversation, and instead had been speaking to his brother, but before he retired for the night, he decided to approach them first. "I will be going to sleep soon, but you can continue to speak to my brother if you need anything. I would just like to say, it is good to have you all here, and I hope you enjoy your stay in Thorn." Rukeewei said, pausing for a moment and rubbing the back of his neck. "I know this is a bit of shameless self-promotion, but if you happen to stay until Turdas, I am entering one of my finest wines into a competition that day. Turdas is the day of feasting during the festival, so they have competitions for all sorts of food and drink. Oh, and Middas is the day of beauty. Neercana-Rei will be entering her finest dress into a fashion competition that day, if that interests you."

Strangely for Lorag, he was not as excited for the prospect of a wine tasting competition as he would have thought, perhaps because he was currently intoxicated enough that even he knew he was drunk. Still, he had a reputation to keep, so he had to at least [i]act[/i] excited. He glanced over to Meesei with a bit of a grin. "A wine tasting? I guess we're staying at least 'till Turdas."
