Round Two, Jerk!

Ciná ate his fill of the various foods that were provided at the reception, along with a few goblets of mead, and then started to wander through the castle and its grounds a bit. It was mostly to get away from the crowd for a bit, but also just to get a look at the large stone structure. Back in his father's pack they had lived in the rooms within the ship and on Fenmyre's island they each had bungalows, which were a significant improvement over the metal ship, but the castle certainly had an interesting charm to it. He didn't really know where he was going or what he was looking for, but he didn't really mind just exploring a bit before he considered heading back home.

As he turned a corner and looked through one of the castle's doorways, he spotted a small figure on one of the terraces, her back facing him as she watched some of the other guests. At first he thought nothing of it, just a quick passing glance before he went on his way, but he stopped and did a little double take as he recognized the girl's very distinctive features. The soft fluff of her fur, the light tan and white coloring with stark, dark markings... and of course the folded over, floppy ears that had caused such contention. He blinked with surprise while he watched her for a moment, thinking back to the last time he encountered her back when she was still a tiny, little scrap of a pup.

He hesitated there for a moment, wondering if maybe he was better off just slipping out instead of stirring up trouble, but the mead he had enjoyed swayed him a bit and before he had really made a decision one way or another. He walked out onto the terrace and slipped up beside her, a smirk on his lips as he greeted her. "Well, well... If it isn't the floppy eared princess," he commented with a chuckle, settling onto his haunches beside her, casting his golden gaze down at her curiously. She was certainly not a a tiny pup any more... Still little, but definitely not a pup.
