Bri couldn't help but smile when Evan said their dad was finally there. And Denise too apparently. She didn't really bother to check her phone. Not that her dad never texted her but when he knew they were together it was mostly Evan he texted. She just hoped that Denise would be too distracted to blow up their phones even more. Saul said that they would finally get to meet his mom. Which she was super excited about. Then he asked if she would help with his invention. Bri couldn't help but bounce a little bit in excitement. She heard them both laughing at her, but she couldn't help herself and rolled her eyes at Evan. She adored her big brother so much and was finally getting to help him work on his experiments. "Will you get me a corndog?" She asked Evan before going over with Saul and trying to help him guide his mom to them. She giggled a little bit when Evan came back and got on the table. "Don't be your clumsy self and fall okay." She said watching her stand there. Bri smiled when Saul's mom finally found them, she could instantly tell that they were mother and son which made it even cuter. Saul looked so much like his mother. She gave a smile to Evan offering her hand to help her down. "I totally see what Kiara said about Saul looking more like his mom than dad." She said before Saul brought her over. Bri gave a little wave when Saul introduced them. "It's really great to meet you too. We've heard a lot about you from Saul too." She said with a giggle. "You should give us all of the baby Saul stories. When you get the chance." -- Naomi smiled a little bit. "Nice to meet you too." She said before Sierra said that her friend ended up getting distracted by seeing her son. Which was kind of sweet. Her smile turned a bit sad thinking of the parent she was still looking for. She shook her head a touch to get it off of her mind. "Honestly it's been about twenty years since I've been to this. But I think they had it back that way." She said gesturing the way they had just walked from. She hadn't really stopped to think about it, but she was kind of hungry herself. "I have to say though that if you eat sausage on your pizza. I might judge you a little." She joked a little bit. Naomi raised a brow when Sierra ducked her head and turned. Turning her head to see Sybil's people walking through. Oh, what the hell were they doing here? She knew they weren't here for her. She had shown Sybil the last time she tracked her down that she wouldn't join her. That had been almost five years ago. She really really wanted to find out Sybil was wanting here. From the way that her new friend reacted though, she could tell that she wouldn't want to snoop with her. Naomi pulled out her phone glancing at it for a moment before frowning. "Shit, um I have to go make a call really quick." She lied to get away. "Maybe we can meet at the stand?" She added not wanting to blow the girl off or anything. Once she managed to slip away she started tracking after Sybil's goons. -- Mila just raised an eyebrow when the girl asked about the taco truck. Clearly the girl didn't get out very much. Not knowing what a taco was was almost a sin against nature. "You've never had a taco?" The guy she was with came back, and she nodded a bit declined trying the strawberry funnel cake. "Oh okay." She answered before eating her own. Zay didn't get the joke pre say. Though he could tell from the smell of Siddiq himself that he at least had some shifter in him. They seemed to have a slight earthy smell to them. So while he raised an eyebrow at it. He got the general tone. Meanwhile Mila just gave a confused look between the two of them before inviting them to join them. She smiled at how excited Val got about it. Zay didn't get a chance to answer before the entire mood changed suddenly. Val handed Siddiq her plate and hid behind him, he could almost hear the growl trying to fight itself out of Mila's throat. Glancing over he could see her eyes had slight as she watched the people walking away. Zay nudged her softly as Val took her plate back, giving her a worried look as she closed her eyes and let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. Zay smiled a bit at Val when she asked where they were going. Mila, still trying to relax herself. "Well, since you still have your fennel cakes. They have little stalls you can buy shirts and stuff from. It's a little father that way." He suggested pointing the opposite direction the other people had just walked through. Mila nodded a bit, having composed herself a little more. "It's a lot less crowded but they have nice stuff. I have to get some necklaces for the little girls in my class anyway and you can see if there is any other food that looks interesting." After deciding where they were going to go and starting walking Zay kind of gave Mila a look. [I]"Are you alright?"[/I] Mila sighed a little bit and shook her head. [I]"No, but, my mother is still in the far south or I would have packed and left up already."[/i] She answered before glancing at Val a bit. [I]"I might stay until this adorable girl leaves to make sure she's safe. Might want to warn your uncle."[/i] She added before looking at Val as Zay nodded and pulled out his phone dragging a little behind the group as he wrote out a message to Alaric. "So Val, can I ask what you do that you don't get to get out often?" She asked, trying to steer the conversation more towards Val to get her mind off of Sybil's goons. -- Delonna smiled as she caught up the rest of the way with Aetulia. She did try to have some experience outside of the tribes herself. However, she wasn't as experienced as Aetulia with it. "Well, your nephew said something about twirly or...tunnel cakes? It sounded kind of interesting." She said, trying to remember what he called it. They had a short conversation when he visited to let her know the meeting time. The last few meetings she had just went to the closest truck to the tents. Which was all kinds of some weird chicken that they jerked around before cooking it. Delonna looked at Aetulia as they started walking, she had brought up the being Life mentioned. She nodded a bit. "Yeah, I suppose they call it Abyss Walker." She answered quietly. Honestly she was a little glad that the subject hadn't really been pushed in the meeting. She didn't have many questions yet. Delonna sighed slightly. "Honestly I'm not sure, I'm not even sure what this person is. However, if Life seems to think I have to help they will. Aerolynn seemed a little uncomfortable with it, but not for my sake." She answered with a slight shake of her head. That whole part made her a touch uncomfortable. Aerolynn was generally known as the least trusting King, but she had never quite been that way with her before. Delonna frowned a little to herself as she shook her head. "Is it bad that despite me knowing Eileena is trustworthy. I have begun to question Darius so much I'm not sure I should ask for her help?" She spoke in an almost whisper. She didn't want to worry about Amal poking his nose deeply into her investigation and ruining everything. Or worse make it worse. -- Rebcca smiled when Tobias answered her about the drink. "Later tonight. There is a little bar not far from here." She answered, she had been to that bar a few times this week. Their new bartender was a sweetheart that she would take with her traveling if the girl hadn't said no. Though in truth Rebeca hadn't been around Warren near as long as Tobias had. She was well aware of how much Warren hated Sybil. She had even come to him a few times to help her get people free of the witch. If anything he was probably a master of dealing with her. Getting to see him enjoying himself was kind of fun for her as well. The man was such a show off though. She was the one to tap the girls chair the second time once the cost was clear. She laughed a bit as he mocked her. "It means to quit showing off. You're breaking Tobias. We" She answered light-heartedly. Nireen nodded a touch when the man, Warren, said it was no problem. Perhaps the fact he hated Sybil should have made her relax a bit more. Definitely made her realize he wasn't going to attack. Though normally the people that hated Sybil hated all that worked for her. Though it had been forced it could be said that she had for years as well. So it did help, but didn't. When Warren said that that wouldn't even be half of Sybil's followers, she nodded again as she walked. "I know." She definitely did. Hell that wasn't even a fourth of the ones after her today. They would be looking for her in the crowd and both the gates. She could lose them with all the people here though. Find a way through the gates somehow. This whole thing was really annoying, she just smelt the food and wanted some. Him offering to help her take care of them made her stop just short of the tent exit. That she hadn't expected, and she turned to look at him. Her eyes studied him for a moment before she sighed, body relaxed a touch. Running wasn't a smart move in the first place, it hadn't been Sybil she expected to react though. "It doesn't matter how big of a group you're with. Trust me." She said almost sadly she had seen Sybil attack large groups and separate her target. Take them and leave the others confused why they stopped attacking. "But she wouldn't expect me to travel with anyone…..You're a dealer right? I'm sorry to say I don't have a soul to trade with you for help." When the other man spoke, the one she didn't know the name for, she looked at him. "To be honest, I thought the tent was empty. I watched someone leave and waited. I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the food smell." She answered before blinking a bit. "Not that I'm ungrateful" she added looking back at Warren "if it seemed so I'm sorry. I'm not….really used to people speaking to me. I'm Nireen." She finished, hands nervously going into her dress pockets. Becca smiled a little bit as she watched the two interact. It was nice to see the times she wasn't the only one to help people out of bad situations. Not to mention she had a feeling she actually knew who this girl was. Not by meaning her or name, but a few people she helped talked about the quiet girl magically undoing locks once in a while. She nudged Tobias a bit. "Well since food drawed you in, me and Tobias will go get you some food." She said and saw the worried look on the girl's face. "Don't worry sweetie, no one here likes Sybil." She added and the girl nodded slowly before they left the tent. "She's a cute little thing." She said to Tobias as they headed to get food. -- This was why Chris hated festivals. It was always a little too crowded for him. He needed room to breathe. He wanted that to be the reason that he was annoyed and...uneasy. The reason had to be something other than the fact he couldn't get his mind off Temp. Why was she here? Was she sure it was safe to be? He wasn't the one quiet about where he was, she could have at least let him know she was another. He frowned to himself, at the stupidness of that thought and shook his head a bit. He personally did not take the break up the best. Though...seeing a little girl break from her little group and kick some guy in the nuts did definitely break him from his thoughts. Laughing a bit Chris shook his head and glanced down at his phone to see that Evan messaged him. He smiled a little seeing the invitation to join them. So Saul had been able to make it this year, good. He hardly ever got to see Saul or talk to him. Even Hoyt called him more than Saul when he was in that school Chris had talked him into going to. [I]You're welcome. I'm not going to the meeting, but I have to meet up with a few people and then I'll meet up with you. Been to long since I saw Saul. :) I know she messaged me. Love you too.[/i] He texted back before stuffing the phone back in his pocket as he got to the taco truck. He waved at the person cooking from the side door, who pulled out a few chairs. The two of them were sitting under the umbrella, Chris having a few tacos with the cook and hanging out with him during his break. "Why did I know I would find you hanging here?" Anais asked as she came up, laughing a bit before the cook got up and gave her a hug and a wrapped taco. "It's good to see you too, Fred. You know a way to a girl's heart." She added. The man chuckled himself before saying that his break was up and going back in the trunk. "I figured that you would find me easier here." Chris answered light-heartedly rolling his eyes at her before Anais took up his drink. She gave it a light sniff and frowned at him. "Before you say anything, that is for while you guys are in the meeting." Anais shook her head. "I'm not going to start on you today. At least you plan on waiting." She said before gesturing for him to follow her. "Come on, let's see what trouble we can get into." She told him and when he started to walk she stuck the cup of alcohol back in the truck before following. "Temp is here." Chris said, Anais staring at him for a moment. Clearly she hadn't been told either, and Chris would be lying if he didn't say that bit of knowledge made him feel better. Anais shot Saul a quick message asking if his mother was really here before looking back at her brother. "Did you see that Albus is here selling lockets? You should buy the girls some for protection." She said quickly changing the subject.
