Theo didn't give a flying fuck about Ludo, but you know what he did love? Free food. And hey, the message said NO ASS ENDED (Theo did get a chuckle out of that), not no Abandoned, so here Theo was, trying to look natural. Not to mention trying to avoid the Fae present, in case they remembered the whole caught-stealing, banned-from-the-Greatwood incident and decided to take it personally -- though, to his relief, he didn't see Alina in attendance. Oh, and he also wanted to stay away from Queen Maeve, not to mention anyone else who looked authoritative (including Ronin, Remi, and Sunjata). It wasn't that Theo had issues with authority figures, just that he preferred not to be in their line of sight. Or within the long arms of their laws.
All of this avoidance left Theo a little awkward as he navigated the gathering, filling a plate with food at Ludo's expense. And sure, he could go fashion a lantern or a little dolly to thank the herald, but maybe he could do it one better.
Eating with one hand, Theo lazily strummed his lute with the other, holding it with his telekinesis. Anyone call for mood music?
