He has lived many years in war manse and so he can easily tell by just sound alone something is off from usual. There was more feet moving, rushed running, urgency. He opens his eyes and goes to dojo door, instant he saw the shimmering hallway walls, he recognized a solar anima as he saw it. Without second for next thought his feet bolt on full throttle, Umari is likely in danger or something important is happening as Umari does not glow....but as he moves and follows to brigthest brilliance of light, he sees it does not come from dinning room...so had Umari moved? Or possibly a another chosen from manse had been chosen by Sol Invictus, which would be great boon and miracle since Umari's own ascension.<br/><br/>However as he moves, he notices others. He notices the woman (Ren) and Spark, catching up to them in his stride and then visitor, the captain, was there as well. As they arrived though, it was hard for him see through the brilliance but thanks his own unique hearing he could make out a female form in center of the brilliance. Then foreign captain (Ramalan) spoke, he listened carefully as it meant then the woman what he sensed was not from the manse.....and then man displayed his own caste mark as well; of zenith caste like Umari was! He was in ready stance, hands close to his blades as he expected violence in arriving on the scene and he had heard Ramalan's words about their hospitabillity being revoked.<br/><br/>Instead though Yolhu moved hands away from the blades and instead went down to one knee and made deep subservient and reverant bow towards Ramalan (and companion inside the room as well), exposing back of his head and neck. Only gesture which he had used only towards Umari himself before. He did it all in silence as he cannot anyway express in words his reverance and respect for solars, so he goes by through body language alone. As only one even close to their equal is Umari, according both by first age teachings and role dragon-bloods do serve solars. Umari may have benefit of age as neither man before him nor woman appear same age as Umari but age is deceptive thing among their kind, so better not make any assumptions.
