When Hal walked into the hall, his arrival was impossible to ignore and he had the ladies of the Sapphirine Guild looking over at him with Suri actually stepping forward to ask him,
"Valerie?"
"In her room. She wished to cultivate after we sorted out our differences" Ha replied with a straight face as though he did not realize what mentioning 'room' in his words had indicated to all who heard.
Then again, he was only acting normal because all that had happened was normal to him as he was not exactly worried about catering to what the considered normal.
Besides, the only expressions he saw on the faces of the ladies, including Suri, were all curious and overall positive.
The party had long ended at daybreak and only then did the members of the Guild disperse to return to their rooms for a rest from the night's merriment.
