The [i]Wamasu's nest[/i] was much the same as it was when they left it. Fendros and Janius both came forward to greet Rukeewei in turn, Janius shifting to hold Leaps steady in one hand as he extended the other to shake Rukeewei's. "It's good to see you too Rukeewei," Janius said, looking to Kaleeth, Rhazii, and Leaps quickly, "As you can see, we've picked up a few new friends on our travels. Kaleeth-Rei, this is Rukeewei." Janius motioned for Kaleeth to say hello, then resumed holding Leaps in two hands, "We also have Leaps-On-Elves here. Don't worry, he's well trained and behaved...most of the time." Once the hatchling was steady, he looked to Ahnasha and the child, "And of course there's little Rhazii."

About ten minutes later, Ariel arrived in a fresh dress with a bag over her shoulder. Once she walked in the door, she scanned the room with an open mouth until she came across the pack's table, and then her expression turned into a grin. After a quick wave, she proceeded towards them, appearing to be out of breath. She had obviously walked up here in a rush. "Hello everyone! My deepest apologies for being a bit late, there were a few details with this remedy that I didn't foresee and had to compensate for." She didn't even look for a seat, much less catch her breath, before turning her attention to Rukeewei. She put her arms around his neck and smiled widely at him. "Hello again, my dear," She said, before placing a kiss on his cheek. She looked down and noticed that he was still in his apron, "You'll be joining us soon, yes?"
