Separated by the throng of strangers, Reyes tried to step around bodies as they gathered to talk and celebrate. He wanted to find Teya, and for an instant he thought he had; someone small and sharp and burnished, at a glance, drew his eye. 

He was careful as he passed through the hall; he saw Ruenna of the Redhawks, speaking with a dark stranger; surprised to see anyone of the caldera here, Reyes thought suddenly of Towhee.

Teya, why did we come- he had begun to say to the back of someone's head, only to pause as someone drifted near, and again Reyes was on a swivel, concerned and overwhelmed. He hadn't yet realized he spoke with a fellahin, not the woman he cared for.
