As Thomas made his way through the army of tents that decorated the fairgrounds, before making it to the grassy courtyard of the Palace. As he did so, he saw Gareth exiting the Palace, looking as if he was making his way to the fairgrounds. "Gareth!" Thomas called out, hoping to get the man to look up and notice Thomas, "Done with the feast, I assume?" Thomas asked, with a soft smile. He was glad to see that his friend had made the decision to come back to the Palace for the celebrations. Seeing the half-elf made Thomas feel at ease, something he hadn't felt since his younger days at Alinor, when he was surrounded by those like him. Here in Keilaudrin, he felt like too much of an outcast to truly feel at ease. Even though Gareth wasn't from Alinor, it still reminded Thomas of his old home.
