Sunjata, meanwhile, focuses his attention to all those gathered with a small nod, small smile in greeting as he brushes some of the fur off of his shoulder from packing the companion here.

“Hey everyone.” He says by means of greeting, approaching the circle further, pausing by Jigano to fold his arms across his chest, ring glinting in the light.
