"Relax! Calm down, Grace," Ava whined. "I'm hungry, too. There's no reason to drag me in here, you know." She had been craving a huge plate of... well everything the moment the boarded the train. Her first Opening Feast had been SO GOOD and she was totally looking forward to her second. And this time, she wasn't even all that nervous.

"My brother...?" she questioned, snapping her head around in disbelief.

And then she saw him too. "JAKE!" she called out far too loudly. She was in shock. What was he doing here?

She rushed over to stand right in front of him and looked up. "How are you here?!" she asked excitedly. "Does momma know? What's going on? Is she okay? Who are all these people?" She didn't wait for a single answer. She just flung her arms around his middle and squeezed. "It's sooo good to see you," she gushed, burying her face into his robes.
