-FESTIVAL - Why me? Why this again?

Emile wanted to go home, he wanted to go back to hiding in his room, the last thing he wanted was to be here right now. But he also knew if he left now his father and siblings would probably worry, so he mostly just moped around at the fringes of the celebrating, as the wolves around him seemed to shuffle off to whatever next thing moved the group along he finally approached the fire, noticing another young man, older than himself lounging on one of the furs.

Emile gave him a quick, silent nod of greeting and settled himself so there was a fur between the two of them, close enough he wasn't being rude by obviously avoiding him but far enough away that they didn't have to directly interact if they didn't want to. Emile settled himself and quietly wondering if there was a polite way he could escape back to the comfort of his room early.
