The excitement was tangible. It floated around in the air and anyone in the vicinity was liable to infection. Of course, the young Stormbringer was more than happy to soak up a little bit of the excitement and anticipation roaming around. The truth was, no-one knew what to expect from this event. It had never been done before and this was the first large gathering of the majority of the packs he'd ever seen. There were so many opportunities presented before him that he found his head a whirlwind of thoughts and plans. The festival was here for a month and Saul knew that he would have as much time as he liked to trade and explore what was going on. His only qualm was the fact that he might not be able to see Teme as much as he would have liked- he was still in Nayru's care and the two hadn't explicitly spoken of their plans yet.
For now, it was a waiting game in the crowds around the tent. He couldn't see anyone he knew and while that didn't bother him too much, he was a little perplexed. He knew a lot of his fellow Ichikans had crossed the mountains to join the festivities. He couldn't even spot Eclipse who he'd travelled down with. Still, there was always adventure in the madness. Saul was about to step forward when a confused looking luperci caught his eye. She seemed to have no idea what was going on- sheer panic crossed her face. He had no idea to whom she belonged to, but that wasn't the point. He thumbed the strap of his satchel across his chest as she backed away into the alley between tents.
He didn't realise he was moving until a body hit him and he almost fell. The crush outside the tent would soon thin out as they took their seats around the various tables inside and out. But for now, there were still a lot of Luperci around here. He moved quickly then, weaving and dodging between people as he made his way towards the dusty coloured female. He heard her gasp for breath before he came to a stop at her side. "I'm a friend." He spoke quickly to establish that he meant no harm. "Sit down on the floor and put your head between your knees- it will help you to breath easier." His voice was strong and firm, but there was a gentle and caring edge to it that wouldn't be ignored. He waited to see if she would follow his instructions, his mind racing to think of anything he had in his bag that might help her.
