"What a weird way to show off" Sarah was not very impressed about the way or the origin story. It seemed like an uncivilized way to her who grew up among duels and other ways to flaunt about, more commonly luxury and wealth, and the show of possession rather than ability, nobles were more prone to showing off a pelt than the actual monster that wore it, still she could not say that she was completely blind to the charm of watching a strong man flaunt his kill, a side effect that can be observed after having a prolonged time with Debauchery family.
Kitty took her daughter and ran about sampling this and that with Lili behind her looking as menacing as Dustan while Ophelia just smiled her way as she made sweet conversation with the various hunters and strong men, women and animals, she even got herself some secret ingredients and tales about the healing abilities of body parts or herbs. Yunan has not seen the group of gods since landing, there must have been something since even Fortuna was missing but he chose to just leave messages for them, they would answer him later on when they can anyway.
Things were very interesting, for a guy like Yunan here, he could use his knowledge to exchange with others and even gain more know-how and techniques, even if he might not ever use them, he could teach them along with the way of the wolf, or maybe start his own school of thought, that would be in the future, so for now, it was good to accumulate more information and correct some old methods and outdated concepts.
Left with only Sarah and Reina, Yuna led the two to walk around the place, he sent ignis and Sapphira to look after Kitty, Catelyn, Lili and Ophelia, just in case things went wrong, even if bloodshed was forbidden in this festival, there was no harm in being cautious, after all, the problem would not be Catelyn, with so many things on her person that could literally die for her, she was safe, the wives were the ones in danger, therefore, having both Sapphira and Ignis were enough to delay anything long enough for it to be solved or removed.
On another part of the island, somehow, the perverted trio somehow found a gambling den, they were currently in the process of emptying its coffers, they did not pay much attention to how the natives were looking at them, currently they were betting on Balin, who was currently using a candle flame to forge a dagger, this kind of bullshit bet was only possible because the awakened were totally ignorant of the extents these guys can reach in order to win a bet.
One has to say that the way bets worked in the family was the best incentive to make an ant grow wings just so that it would not fall into the weird punishments and other weird conditions they make, the losers would always suffer, that was obvious and an established rule, thus forging on candle flame may seem like it is impossible to others, Balin cheated his way to make the dagger, he influenced the flames to burn brighter, channeled heat magic through the hammer, used his own genius to make sure the materials would neither cool down nor turn solid ahead of time.
Of course, these things were only cheating at home, outside it was called the basic kit of a smith, which blacksmith could work without control over the flames and small adjustments through skill and magic. And through these technicalities, they showed the world how to do the impossible. For example, Dustan kneading a block of lead as if it was dough or Bai pickpocketing with both hands tied behind his back, and more stupid things that were so novel to the gambling den.
As for the third group, well, they were sunbathing under the utmost care of some caretakers, Fae was literally glowing with happiness, Leader was smiling as she watched Lucian try to keep his breeches and a drunken Anne trying to pull them off, the attendants who were doing their utmost to keep these rich customers as happy as possible could not help but wonder about them.
If you think about it from their point of view, why would an angel like Mary be in the company of a funless werewolf, a glowing elf who got happier by the moment and finally a lewd drunkard, some people just could not understand.
After directing Anne towards Fae who would happily indulge her and even play along in her intoxicated antique, Lucian sat beside Mary who seemed oblivious to the world around her, he presented her with a cool drink and sat beside her, letting fluff his tail as they both enjoyed the sun "the world sure looks brighter lately" Mary was never one to start a conversation, but Lucian was not paying this matter any heed, he was just a puppy after all.
"It sure does, it creeps me out a bit" he responded with the same tone of being extremely relaxed and enjoying the moment, he continued " after getting used to the darker side, the light side seems like it is full of traps and predators, I just can't relax without something clouding my thoughts, the happy life is terrible". Mary beside him just giggled at him " but it's more fun this way, right? idiots like us need to feel uncertainty to live like people". Lucian could not help but nod his head at her words, some people were more suited to live in the darkness, even so, some time in the light was not actually a bad thing, that was a universal truth.
