The rest of the evening went well. The Guides split the remaining food amongst them fairly, and then settled down to eat with the others.
Kellen and Rhys sat with each other in a very similar fashion that his parents were sitting with each other. Rhys had kind of wrapped Kellen around himself in a way that made sure Taylor didn't yell at them for hurting his wound. Kellen could feel the way that Taylor was looking at him though, her gaze razor sharp.
With that being said, it appeared as if everyone was having a good time. Kellen and his Dad were clearly worrying about if everyone had enough food, but it appeared that everyone had a full plate, they were happy, and the conversation was flowing.
Kellen, who now had time to think about what he experienced while remaining mostly silent while everyone chatted to each other, had a moment to self reflect. He'd messed up. He had thought that he hadn't behaved like Casper or Hill or Taylor, but that appeared to not be the case.
