His father seemed to be more on edge than usual, but maybe that was a given what with the general surroundings and his mother back at home, yet to deliver his impending sibling. For that, the youth could understand the fixation with swiftness and a lack of ease; but he wasn’t about to let apprehension guide him along. Instead, he prospered his own assignment as Deimos tended to more regional contributions, something about trading, which, inevitably, was skipping over to the table full of food.
He could still feel Deimos’ eyes on him – which was comforting, in a way, of knowing one was always sheltered and secure – so he opted for ensuring both of them would be fed well, and then he could pocket and save some for Evie and Amham. Festival delicacies brought out a certain kind of avarice in him, as if he could yearn and dream of tasting every single thing. For starters, he beelined towards an array of meats that seemed to have been laden with an array of sauces, and the aromas hit his nose on a lure, his little features barely making it to the surface of the table.
Not to be deterred, he grabbed some tongs and a plate, giggling all the while while he smacked the metallic edges together in biting gestures, before noticing someone else was nearby. The older girl he’d noticed earlier – one of the few children seeming to be lurking around. “Hi!” he waved with his free hand. “Have you tried any of this yet?”
