It felt silly, really, for animals did not know the purpose of waving, but he wasn't necessarily going to offer his hand for a strange predator to... sniff. "I'm pleased to have met you both," He said with a dip of his head as he tucked his hands back into his cloak. For once, he wasn't lying. He had found himself enjoying her company more than he had expected- especially in such a crowded place. In fact, he had just realized he had last track of time-

"I fear my chances to get a room are dwindling by the second." He turned to leave, but found himself pausing, his hands nervously finding his pockets. Typically, he was so quick to try to leave a social situation, but there was something about her...

"I... do hope to see you at the festival..." He added a little more quietly. "And have a good night."
