No, he had heard from his wife about a little awareness that was going on and it had peeked his interest.
Making his way towards the group he glanced around noticing the buttons, "Now what will buttons do to help awareness. I mean people wear them, but is that really helping awareness?" He was very curious as to what brought this awareness on and how they thought they were going to spread it. What was the outcome? So many questions that needed answers. Quote:

One for her, and one for Iwin. The twins were too young for sharp buttons.
She picked up one of the pamphlets on the table and handed it to the reporter. "And the booth itself, fundraising, is reminding the people who come through this Atrium that we serve and support the needs of werewolves, regardless of what department we work in." She smiled at Tala, hoping that her interjection was alright.
Her attention was caught by Lynley, though, who was... giggling. That seemed terribly unlike the woman and Emmalee wasn't exactly sure how to take that. Puzzling over that conundrum for a moment, she kept her colleague in the corner of her eye as she turned her attention back to Tala. "Thank you for all your work on this. It's important." And it was something she was more than happy to support. Indeed, she thought the little partnership her department and Creatures had dreamed up would be excellent, as well. Tala's attention was once again torn from Lynley as a man who looked... Vaguely familiar walked up and asked a question that caused the lanky creature to pause in her reply. Is that really helping awareness? It felt... loaded, patronizing, and she didn't like it, but before she could answer someone else did.
Emmalee Howell.
Tala gave the older women a bright smile, she had never been so pleased to see her, and the pleasure only grew as the red head went on to speak with the man. it... felt like vindication, because this wasn't just about Tala's own problems, it was about the werewolf community as a whole and.... Having a witch with no distinct personal ties to the subject show up and talk about the issue with such clarity and understanding, it made a huge difference. Not just to others, but to Taladona herself.
"Support, and awareness is brought up and spread in many ways. Sometimes through talking, sometimes through a pamphlet... But one of the best ways is through a... Visual cue. It's also a symbol to my community that we're not just in this ourselves." That had been a hard thing to say to a total stranger, my community, but Tala didn't let it show, she stood tall, shoulders back, lips set into a small smile.
What did you say when someone thanked you for doing something like this? "No, no, thank you. I really appreciate your support and help with this." She meant it. Tala handed over the two buttons. "It'll be fourteen sickles, Mrs. Howell."
