Family Reunions Keep Getting Bigger

There was a lot going on, frankly. With mother at their helm, they'd spirited away to the Hallows-- family. More of their family. So much of it, in fact. The walk had been nice, something that Dread himself found himself really enjoying. It was a nice day, and the very act of getting out into the world was exciting... not that Dread would really do much to show his excitement. Instead he would carefully keep up the rear of the cluster as they moved, gaze carefully fixed on each of his siblings in turn. He'd watch each, make sure that they didn't stray, taking things all together too seriously.

And then there was the hustle and bustle of the reunion itself. So many sights, smells, new faces... too much. All of it too much for Dread, but he'd do his best not to show it. Overwhelmed, hanging back from the crowd. At first he'd stayed to Zee's side, but as she moved into the fray he markedly hung back. Observe. Watch. Watch carefully, and make sure that nothing went wrong. It was too much, but well... he was doing his best.
