Stone Circle Celebration!

Day was enjoying the small, informal ceremony; it was good to see Valette being celebrated, and Steady seemed lighthearted as well. They all needed a bit of reprieve from the stress of moving, losing, gaining - Day was glad he got to be a part of it. Doubly glad that he'd helped to make this feast happen. Triply glad that Adeline showed up looking so silly.

Abruptly, though, his mood changed. As soon as Adeline sat down by Philos's side, Day was ready for the get-together to be over. Still, even with bitter anger boiling in his gut, the wolf held his tongue and kept his peace. He reminded himself that he was being silly, that it was better this way - and none of it really helped, but he was able to get through a few mouthfuls of food before finally deciding to slip away.
