quiet were the steps of the jaguar, eyes closed as they wound through the territory, barely any light filtering through their eyelashes. they could hear their group members, their friends and family. the idea had been on their mind for time to come, and they had mentioned it in passing - they had thought of this idea, a feast. things were beginning to finally look up for the group of hardy individuals,  sticking to the land and slowly winning it back from those who had come into the land in their disappearance. the idea of a feast was meant to draw the group back together, to bring some excitement to the members. clearing their throat as they entered the library portion of the library, coar brushing against one of the shelves. "everyone.", they asked their attention, "if you'll give me your time, I ask you to attend a feast. we have come far from when we first returned to this land, and we have fought hard for what we have now. we are not giving up on our home, and we will continue to fight for our home and our right to be here.", the jaguar spoke warmly, gaze carrying over the crowd.

with the help of a close friend and confidant, malak, they were undergoing his treatment for their eyes, using salves and rubs to help regain their sight. it was a slow progress, the blind beast only able to see fuzzy outlines and bright lights should they open their eyes. exhaling, they smiled for the first time in forever, "come. with [member=16057]Sam[/member] 's help we have set up foods and new decorations. i ask you, if you feel like it, to visit friends and family outside of the group and invite them to join us for our feast. the feast will be held here at the inn.", they spoke before leading the way out into the dusky night, lanterns lighting up the inn's cobbled yard. tables held varieties of meats, fruits, vegetables and pastries - accentuated by the year's last flowers and beautiful decorations.
