Waylan makes his way through the bustling crowds with some difficulty, feeling out of place amidst all the bustle and pageantry.

Until then, let us try to make the most of it!" Taking a piece of lamb and slice of bread from a passing server, he starts moving again towards the center of Clydwell Plaza, joining the crowd assembling around the stage...
