Lani " oh that sound like a fun time" neteyam had dragged lani home and when they entered the mauri pod they saw all the families there along with their families as well.

Tsyerio " hey lani why don't you sit next to me"

Lani " sure" lani had sat next to tsyeio as the meal had stated it seemed like during the dinner lani was quite as she was eating her meal or playing with the necklace she was wearing, soon more questions about the necklace had risen. As no one had seen it until now and lani seem very attached to the necklace by the way she held it and cared for it. The only one who seem to snap her out of tarns were her sibling and friends. The dinner soon end and lani had went to bed right away with a small smile on her face, as she felt at peace that night.
