Ears against her head, Moana glanced a bit longer at the beach. Things seemed to be breaking up anyway regardless of the little confrontation and she knew there was a feast to be had, especially since it seemed all those that entered the water had been accepted. Glancing up at Ahe, she gave him a little smile and a nod, thankful for the distraction.
"After we eat," she insisted, nudging his shoulder before heading back the way they had come. "I don't know about you but I'm starving!"
Ahe's furrowed brow relaxed a bit as Moana's cheerfulness returned. It was strange and a bit disconcerting to see the usually chipper lioness down in the doldrums. He nodded at the suggestion and followed her as she led the way, glad she had mentioned the feast. He was quite hungry now that he thought of it.
Once his paws touched the sand he took a few longer strides to catch up with her, walking side by side towards the feast that awaited them.

Dab gave Opochtl a grin and a little bob of his head as the lion dismissed himself, leaving him once again with his mate.
"See ya around," he called out after him. "Don't kill too many lionesses with those good looks!" Chuckling to himself, he turned to Pili and hummed at her suggestion. It seemed those wishing to see if the seas welcomed them had returned to land so they'd have space to relax, so he gave a little nod and shifted to move towards the water.
"I think that's a good idea," he said cheerfully. "Water's nice and calm today, too." He gave his tail a little swish before heading to the shoreline, confident Pili would follow.

Kawai watched the confrontation with her ears pinned back against her head which instinctively ducked towards Lit. She felt badly to be seeking comfort from him when it was his mother that her own brother seemed to be scolding, but it was her natural reaction now. Ever since she and Lit had become a couple it was second nature to look to him for protection.
"Yes, I think that's a good idea," she said softly, not wanting to get in the middle of a conflict on what was supposed to be a happy day. She turned, her side pressed against Lit's, and headed for the jungle. They wouldn't partake in the feast but would rather spend time together.

Rolling to his feet and careful not to squish Kelpie, Shio stood dripping onto the sand. He was quiet as he watched the interaction, taking in the body language of his brother and Kelpie's mother. He'd have questions for him later to see what had happened, but for now it was probably best to simply leave and help disperse the crowd.
"Let's head to the feast," he said quietly to Kelpie, giving her shoulder a fond nudge with his nose before turning to head towards the food.
