The party don't start till Hill walks in

The Captain, Casper and Gunther chose that time to come back to the group. The Captain glanced around, wondering where Kellen's family had gone without him until he spotted them in the hallway, fussing over their youngest. Placing a hand on Kellen's lower back, the Captain smirked as the man didn't even notice he relaxed his shoulders, and stepped back into the touch. 

"Guide Jameson, you look a little pale. Is anything wrong?" The Captain asked, his tone full of concern. Brent opened his mouth, about to respond genuinely, until he looked up and saw the way the Captain's eyes sparkled over Kellen's shoulder. Brent's lips formed into a straight line. 

"Captain, if you're going to overhear us talking, at least hide it. That's very rude." Brent chastised, and the Captain smiled at the Guide. Casper, who hadn't been able to overhear, furrowed his brow in confusion, pushing his glasses up as they began to shift. Gunther's expression remained unchanged.
