Celebrations Part 1

Jp with Omni, Cindy, Lorem, Winteroak, and Bandorchu (for now)

Voah covered her mouth with one hand, then the other. She was beyond speechless.

"By the Pillars!" she stifled a squeal of joy. "No, it's perfect. Thank you so much."

She waved at the others, a little embarrassed but very pleasantly surprised. She turned to Alexis and gave her a hug.

"You saw my ward."

Alexis smiled and returned her hug.

“I did. As you can see, everyone was quite enthusiastic to join in. Now go ahead, don’t keep them waiting.”

"So good to see you. All of you. And I've been meaning to speak with you, but we can talk about that later." she said to Alexis.

With her tongue in cheek, she turned to the group and went over to greet Blackwolf first. She had known him the longest. She gave him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Master Blackwolf, out for an adventure I see."

"Nicolaus, a pleasure as usual. You've been taking care of this lot?"

Gonyaul was standing in the back of the group. He had changed into his best ceremonial attire and redid his hair into something worthy of the occasion and how he felt. This was his first Natalday celebration. He had no idea about the meaning behind it, but he knew it was a celebration. His excitement to be a part of something like this with the others was causing his fuse to slowly burn down and he felt like he could explode like a firework.

It was the arbiter, yes. He would need to be cautious to a degree. But the others were there and if they trusted her than he would extend the same courtesy. Then again, it was also the person who had been frequenting his thoughts more regularly.

At the moment he was eagerly observing how they all interacted with one another to piece together how one was supposed to conduct themselves.

To Islana this was a nice idea Alexis had done for The Arbiter. She wasn't very concerned about Voah finding out about her gift, for the time being, because it was easy enough to hide.

The young woman didn't know The Arbiter as well as some of the others. Still, there was a certain level of friendship extended to someone who help save your life, no matter how that actually came about.

Islana noticed Gonyaul standing to the back and not being his usual outgoing self. The redhead walked up to her friend, "Are you alright?"

Gonyaul did indeed look more nervous than usual. Having Islana come over helped. “I not sure what supposed to do?” He whispered, not wanted to draw any attention away from the guest of honor.

He gathered this was a celebration for the day of Voah’s birth. On a vaux birthday you are to be in isolation, meditation and fast the entire day. This was very foreign an occasion and he didn’t want to ruin anything. He was aware his approaches to things didn’t always work out the way they were supposed too.

Islana nodded, she understood it was likely this kind of day was different where he was from.

"It's nothing formal. Just say hello to the Arbiter and wish her a happy natalday. Then enjoy yourself. If you would like we can greet her together."

It might make the man feel more at ease.
