Given the rising tension within Reyes, Eljay was wise enough not to press the matter. Teya explained, and as she did Reyes felt the deep burn of embarrassment; it was not a new flavor of shame for him, though it had been some time since he last felt so debased.

Teya also mentioned that she spoke with the queen; this surprised Reyes and his focus shifted from the auspex to the raven, but he didn't say anything. That was where she'd been all night?

When Eljay began to ask his questions, Reyes huffed, his ears pinning back. I walked here fine enough, he answered, then sighed; ignoring the child for the time being and watching the dirt instead, Reyes grumbled, I deserved it. I don't remember all that I said, but, it isn't my first time with those fruits.

With enough of them in me, I lose track of my tongue and my mind a bit. I remember... Trying to toast the king, or whatever. After that things are a little hazy, until the morning. When Teya had found him in the dirt outside - classy.

Reyes grimaced as he stood up, but refused any help. It was clear he wanted to get moving again and wasn't going to linger much longer being the center of attention - or medical help. But, like Eljay described, his wounds were mostly superficial bruises and the like.
