Ariel was initially as surprised as everyone else when Sabine pushed over the skeleton. Memories came back to her as well, however, and her shock turned into a relieved smile. "I think I remember you doing that to the sentinels when you were a child, Sabine." Ariel said, looking at the sentinel's oblivious look, "You drove madam Florence up the wall with that behaviour."

Sabine turned around and made her way to the campfire without making eye contact with anyone. Her face kept twitching into a smile. She sat down as she normally did, with her knees up and her head forward, but she couldn't hide her face.

Upon being offered a seat, Ariel nodded and thanked Meesei. Janius leaned over, poured another mug of Sujamma and passed it around. "Would anyone else like a drink? We've got plenty." Ariel took her mug in both hands and sipped, she didn't drink very often, but at least the company was warm.

"I'll have one, Janius," Fendros put up his hand. He didn't really feel like going down the path of absolute intoxication tonight, as was the direction Lorag and Janius seemed to be heading, but a drink would be nice.

In response, Janius looked about himself rather cluelessly, before slowly getting up again. "Hold on a moment, I'll fetch another mug." He said, walking to search through the utensils again, "Ahnasha, how about you!?" He shouted back, "Oh wait, the child. Never mind." His search was a little louder and clumsier than the last time. The sujamma was stronger than he thought.

After another sip, Ariel faced Ahnasha with an enthusiastic look, having being reminded of the gift she brought. "Ahnasha, did you get my inflammation remedy? I know it's labelled to use on ankles, but it's good for any joints really. You may not be showing now, but later on, the salve will prove useful. I've sold it to a number of pregnant women." Again, Ariel's tone went wide-eyed and fast. Ariel felt she was a little more comfortable with Meesei after getting to know her better, but the rest of the pack were still mostly acquaintances.

Janius carefully walked back to his seat with not only another mug, but the second keg under his arm. After pouring what seemed to be the last of the first keg and passing it around to get to Fendros, Janius braved his thumbs to mallet in the next spigot into the second keg and topped up his own mug. He didn't end up hitting his finger this time. This time.

"So Alpha," Janius waved his finger in the direction of the still standing skeleton, "what do you plan to do with your new friend?"
