I actually smile softly as I watch Gamel and Mezool interact. It has the feeling of a reunion, and I remember that Gamel is probably just recently revived, probably seeing Mezool again for the first time right now.

Mezool seems more genuine with her affection for him. And earlier Kazari let it slip that Uva apparently smells good. And Kazari helped put this little gathering together. And everyone came.

Maybe we really don't have to all hate each other anymore. I don't know if we'll ever love each other like family is supposed to, or even if we'll all end up liking each other. But this... well, it's a start.

I tilt my head, zeroing in like a hawk on the basket Kazari is carrying. "Is that food?"
