Nodding at Melita, Saiden didn't say anything to the redheaded woman. As Aurelia arrived, though, he glanced up from his work. Hearing the exchange between the newest member of the crew and the captain, the cook called out. "Don' worry about Jack! The cap'n's ego is company enough for 'im." He grinned at the two of them before bending his head down to work on his lantern again.
The body of the bird had taken shape, but the wings required a delicate touch. He folded the colored paper, creasing it with care. Of course, the arrival of the cat took him by surprise. Staring at it, he blinked as it spoke, before a slow smile spread across his lips.
"Well now, who's this? We got ourselves a Sear Cat then?" Grabbing a bowl, he ladled some of his chili into it before holding it out for the critter.
Only then did he turn to address Aurelia's question, his smile slipping away as he did. "Festival of Lights, aye. It's a celebration of everyone we've lost. We make lanterns to honor them." He gestured at his own construction along with Melita's.
