Sim had been regaling a crowd of freshmen about the monster hunt since he had first arrived, a few embellishments added in to make the story more exciting (mostly that Gael had been eaten which surprisingly, wasn't questioned).

He had excused himself to sniff the punch for suspicious substances and was in a very good mood. He was singing along to whatever song was playing and taking swigs of drink before he noticed Meka practically next to him.

"Oh!" His eyebrows shot up, one of his eyes bruised from running into a tree branch and he dithered on the spot wondering whether to just run.

"Hi" he settled on, turning back to the punch bowl.
