Nehal was watching the fireworks with the rest of the two rivers folk gathered on the green, though he was more reserved than some his age and instead of joining in the bartering and voting of which color would be made for the next display he simply watched and admired, although part of this was due to the fact that he couldn't seem to drag his thoughts away from the dark rider he had seen, it just didn't seem to make sense and he felt like there was something very important that he was missing. While waiting between fireworks he happened to see Daniel with his new friend, momentarily forgetting his own troubles, and when their eyes met, he gave him a knowing wink and gave him a teasing gesture that seemed to say, "Well get on with it then! Kiss her!" obviously not having picked up the mood that was around them.
