Unaware of Ruenna's involvement with the celebrating mazoi, Reyes' full focus was upon the gilded man that stole the attention of everyone as he passed.

They locked gazes for a moment — and while Reyes knew he should avert his gaze and be respectful, there was something about the man, and about himself under the influence of these berries, that made him unable to.

The way Ramesses looked at him made Reyes incredibly uncomfortable. Here was this sublime masculine creature parading about, followed by multiple doting women, yet he was looking Reyes up and down.

Aye, this is quite the rabble-rousin' you've got goin' on.

The comment earned a prideful smile, as if Reyes were trying to mimic the king, or maybe someone else — an impression of a foolhardy pirate, drunk on too much grog. At least some of that was true.

Much joy to you an' the young bride, wherever she's wandered off too. That was, unfortunately, a genuine sentiment. Even though Reyes was reaching for more berries halfway through speaking it, dividing his attention briefly.
