Rue doesn't even try to be subtle about watching the pair. Their eyes drop down to watch Jeff winding a hand together with Tim, the casual bumping of shoulders, the gentle tease from one boy to another.

Hmm!!! Rue's absolutely going to have some pressing questions for Tim later.

"Thank you. Truly, it's been such a joy to put this all together with my dearest Mercy, a chance to spread my wings creatively again that I much needed. I'm grateful that you've both come to enjoy the festivities! And certainly, even if you aren't competitive as others, I think you'll still find some fun in the spirit of the game! Maybe the blanket race would be a good game to partner up for?"
