Anything above ten people in one place usually filled him with a kind of dread; with all the guests milling about there were certainly more than that. But he actually found that here, in such a moment of celebration and love, and with friends, it was actually quite pleasant. Sipping some wine and looking out towards the fields, he was beginning to consider going home (some habits were hard to break. He still wanted an early night) when there was a tap on his shoulder. When he turned and saw Jigano, for a second he felt intense guilt, worried that the other man was about to chide him for leaving without any warning. It would be fair - he had left in a moment of intense stress for the village, left the guild and his friend into the woods. But instead, Jigano greeted him warmly and he smiled with relief. "Jigano!

I heard the guild was...closed..?" Samuel He took a step but then felt tired He said, I'll rest a little while But when he tried to walk again He wasn't a child
