Hemming couldn't help but feel rather sentimental as Dawali pulled out the embers and relit the fire, and as it soared the wolf's golden eyes watched the tongues of flame licking at the sky. Perhaps it was egotistical, the way he was inclined to compare the relighting of the fire to the transformation of sorts he had experienced recently, but he was drawn to that representation. Of course, the metaphor could be applied to so many things, as common as the rising of the sun, the change of seasons, to the things that may happen only once or even not at all in one's life time. He pondered these things for a moment as he stared at the flame, but fortunately Dawali's words saved him from the endless meandering chain of thoughts that he was prone to. A gigantic grin sprouted onto his face when the Kalona invited them to enjoy the food, and Hemming was there almost immediately, considering each different type. He didn't know a lot about AniWaya, yet, and was eager to learn more. A culture's food was often good insight into the way of life. The wolf was not slow to put these two ideas together to formulate his excuse for heading straight to the food. He was deeply curious of each item that lay before him, and after some consideration he took a bit of the nut bread and a handful of berries. There was no resisting their colors, the bright reds and blues representative of the high days of summer. With the little treasures in his hand, a few occasionally making their way to the wolf's mouth, he wandered over to where Ember was clapping, casting a wide grin to her. This was all very exciting! He watched Hanna dance, wondering how anyone was able to move in such a way (but willing to try it himself, once the food was secure in his belly). Dawali's music seemed to put a bounce in everyone's step, and Hemming watched as the young blond girl frolicked away. The nut bread was very good indeed, and the gray wolf needed to put effort into restraining himself from gobbling it all down at once. That would be quite rude, after all. |
