After the whole commotion was over, Sophia slipped gratefully back into her seat, thankful that she hadn't been noticed more. Fin it seemed was thankful for this too, for as soon as she sat down his arms were back around her and his face against her shoulder. She cast a slightly helpless look at Annun and Alak who rolled their eyes. "Hello Raindrop," he said to her. She wondered if he didn't need a constant flow of alcohol to keep him alive, as he'd been asleep the whole time he'd been sober.
When she mentioned it to Alaklondewen it was only moments before she'd turned around and asked Squatter and H-I if they had a beer to spare. The glittering Lush passed one forward and Sophia handed it to Fin, hoping against hope that it would liven him up a little tomorrow.
The cries of SAUCY! NURU! were still going off around her, and feeling a little reassured she joined in, much more at home in the screaming crowd than on the stage.
