Lyra finished her meal then stood "Excuse me" She said to those around her then headed for the door. It was wonderful to see everyone together and trying to be happy, but she didn't feel like joining in all the revelry now.

Aisling smiled again and nodded. "That it is, so that is our backup plan then?" She asked happily.
Reptar stood wiping his mouth with his napkin, before he placed it on the table to follow Lyra's hastily retreat. He dipped his head in parting to their fellow dinner guests. He hurried to catch up with Lyra and took her gently by the elbow to draw her to a stop out in the hallway. "What is it, Lyra? No half-truths or pretenses. What is really bothering you?" He asked genuinely concerned.

"Absolutely! Either way, it is bound to be a delightful meeting." Aiveron replied softly.
