''No. Your place is much higher than that piece of filth's is. I am sorry Sayeh. In other circumstances, I would let this go maybe, but he hurt you, and for that he will pay.'' Those were the naga's last words on the walk, until they came to the Tower. Scents and voices could be heard from it, and instead of leading her to the door, he led her on a path lit by winking fairy lights, until they came to a large bamboo table, with all the Anthros sitting there. The Anthros cheered and waved at them both, and Cassius sat Sayeh between him, and the small raccoon, named Chance. ''Everyone, help yourself!''

Sayeh's eyes grew wide at the lovely scene of these lights and seemed shocked to see all these anthros and so much food! Taking her seat, Sayeh placed a warm smile on her red painted lips. She of course waited for others to grab at food before she would move. As she sat there, her violet eyes scanned over the table to take in so many faces. She smiled brightly to the raccoon anthro beside her, bowing her head to him and then to the table. A silent greeting.

Chance grinned and leaned over, picking up a plate of chicken wings, and offered one to her. ''Would you like one?'' He was on his best behavior tonight, for Cassius and his new friend.
Cassius watched everyone tuck in, and smiled at Chance being good. He picked up a tray of corn-on-the-cob, and handed one to her on a plate. ''If you see anything you like, just take it.'' The naga turned to a plate of mashed potato, corn, and gravy and roast beef. He began to scoop some of it onto his plate, before handing it to Julian.

Saeh smiled brightly. Chance seemed sweet. She bowed her head. "Thank you very much." She took the plate from him and placed a chicken wing on her own plate. She replaced the plate of wings back to the table and happily accepted the corn-on-the-cob. "Thank you Cassius." She seemed excited as she eyed so much food everywhere. Of course she had to grab herself some mashed potatoes, and a little gravy. She came to reach out for a cut of turkey meat. Her portions were small but she had a plate full of foods. She seemed to be in a dreamlike state as she looked down at the food. How she adored it and tonight was a feast! It was almost too much to eat her joy.

Cassius looked around, and then stood up, disappearing round the back of the house. He came back with an armful of grapes, and a few doozen bottles of wine. He ripped out the cork of a bottle and pured the wine into the glasses on the table, then set the grapes down on a wooden platter. The naga placed the wine under the table then picked up one of the glasses and raised it high. ''To friends! To Sam, who helped me greatly and taught me.'' The spaniel smiled shyly, and raised his own glass. Cassius shook hsi head, and waited till the talkings and yelling had died down, then said quietly. ''To Sayeh. Without her friend-ship, I would not be here right now.'' He sat back down and drunk heavily into the glass, as did the rest of the group, then they began to eat and pass the food around.

Sayeh seemed to blink when Cassius had left and so she waited for his return and she brightly smiled at the grapes and wine bottles he had brought forth. She had taken up a glass when he had announced the toast to Sam and she lifted up her glass. She smiled and when she noticed the spaniel who seemed to be Sam, her head bowed to him. Hearing his second toast, Sayeh blushed as she mentally noted to keep herself composed.
She drank the wine with a sweet grace and now that Cassius was here, this was the moment she had been waiting for. Lifting up a fork she dove into the mashed potatoes, and brought it to her mouth, eating the forkful and purring very loudly at the flavors that flooded her mouth. Loud enough for Chance and Cassius to hear as she glowed with delight. Of course, this meant more of that same bite came as she quickly ate at the mashed food on her plate. Before long, it was gone. She glanced over to Cassius after she finished. "This is amazing. Thank you so much for inviting me here tonight."

''You're very welcome Sayeh. I'm glad you enjoy the food.'' Soon, the plates were empty, with only bones and waste on them. Chance chuckled and patted his stomach, before announcing with a yawn that he was tired. ''So I take it everyone's full? Or do we want desserts?'' The naga smiled. The rest of the group cheered some more, and a few hours later, everyone was even fuller. Plates with the remains of jelly, pie, ice-cream, and other delicious things stood on the table, and Chance left the table for bed, yawning some more. Sam began to clear away the plates with the help of Julian, and Cassius stood up and stretched. ''Shall I take you home now Sayeh?'' He asked softly.

Sayeh seemed lulled and content. Her entire expression was soft and she smiled to Cassius, rising with a nod. She called out to all. "Thank you all for a wonderful evening and dinner. This was very nice." She waved and bowed her head, bidding a good evening. The feline wished to ask if she could help but she knew better then to do that once more. She had taken Cassius's arm should he have offered it, and would follow him back to her home. A light purr was coming from her chest.

After the Feast
Tristessa yawned, and looked around her. Light was spilling through the windows, and she smiled as she looked out of the window. Far off, she could hear a jay bird singing, the sky was blue and beautiful, and it made her heart lift. She had felt so happy last night, as did everyone else. She smoothed out the creases in her night-gown, and left the room to go see if anyone else was awake.
Sam woke up, feeling happy and full. His stomach still felt full with all the delicious food, and his mind was reeling with all the fun he'd had last night. Yawning and stretching, he stood up and wandered out of his room, clutching a chocolate brown towel to his chest.
Chance woke up amongst his pile of cushions, his blanket feeling snuggly and cozy. He was reculant to leave his den, but he did, to go down stairs and perhaps steal a cookie. He pulled on a lilac dressing gown and quietly crept downstairs after looking at the clock.
Cassius awoke quickly, the events of last night tumbling through his mind. He inhaled deeply, feeling dizzy and swung himself out of the bed towards his toilet, and locked the door. He brushed his teeth and then combed his hair, before going downstairs. Ah, there it was. The cherry-pie he had made for Sayeh to take home with her, but had forgotten it. The naga went back to his room and dressed in his regular clothes, however putting on a slim, silver trinket, on which there hung a tiny charm in the shape of a bottle, filled with some sort of liquid. He took up the pie and left the Tower, and began to make his way to Sayeh's house.
