"Refreshments?" I mused, "…is there an occasion today that I do not know of?"

Orion flashed me a wide grin as he nodded. "Yes, this is the first meeting you're attending after your accident. Moreover, the Festival of Lights was postponed due to the unfortunate event, and the Elders here think that since you seem better, we can still make it hold."
