Billy could see he had a lot to answer to before they could begin relaxing and talking. But that could wait a little longer. He'd waited this long already! He watched them with their marshmallows, an amused little smile on his face at the sticky messes.
"The little colored things are sprinkles. All they add is a sort of...concentrated sugar. It was hard to find any marshmallows at all, and that's the one I ended up with. It shouldn't change the flavor too much," he reassured Kaya first.
"It's not a problem, really. I just wanted to see you all again, and I worried you might not feed yourselves," he smiled at Nokosi. He had been right to be worried, at least with some of them. At least he was here to look after them.

"It feels like we haven't seen each other in forever. You're all better from the fighting, right?"
