Hello, Felix! Garahel greets that head-patting with enthusiastic tail-wagging and bumping up against him amiably. As long as Felix doesn't seem overwhelmed, Inessa will just smile and let him be. With the ball currently forgotten, she tucks it away.

"It's good to see you again, Felix. We have more rifters, of course...no new Wardens yet, though. It's been a bit quiet since First Day, but I suspect that won't be the case for much longer. What about you? I hope your journey went well?"
