As Aron walked away from the central hut, his mind heavy with thoughts and emotions, he noticed Skar waiting just at its boundary. Skar, ever the lively and adventurous man, caught sight of Aron and approached him with a wide grin.
"There you are Aron!" Skar greeted cheerfully. "I've been waiting for you. The celebrations are in full swing at the center of the settlement."
Aron regarded Skar with a mixture of weariness and curiosity. He had hoped for some solitude to sort through the revelations of his past, but he also recognized the value of a distraction. He let out a sigh and nodded reluctantly.
"Perhaps a little distraction wouldn't hurt," Aron conceded, his voice tinged with a touch of resignation. "Lead the way, Skar."
