Although she contained her excitement, Meesei could not have been happier about how the evening was proceeding. Lunise seemed to feel that their dinner had turned out well, and there was no shortage of topics for them to discuss. Research was an easy topic for Lunise to relate to, but they certainly had more of interest to talk about. As they all still had responsibilities the next day, even Lorag kept his drinking to a reasonable level, for him at least. 

Eventually, their feast came to a close with dessert. Much of the pack were easily feeling too full to eat much more, though Julan had ensured he left himself enough room to finish his share of the sweets. Unlike the adults, he had not spoken much at all to Lunise, but he had been listening to them speak to her, so he had gradually been growing more comfortable around her. Even after their awkward and startling introduction, he was curious about her. She was far from the first non-lycan that had been so close to the pack, as there were non-lycans in their clan, but he was particularly confused about her relationship with his aunt Meesei. 

After finishing his dessert, Julan worked up the courage to walk right up to Meesei and Lunise. "So you're, um, aunt Meesei's mate, right? I didn't know two women could be mates." He said bluntly. There were other couples of the same gender within the Blackreach clan, but Julan was still young and had never noticed before.
