Jahred descended the stairs and took in the bustling family. He couldn't help but grin, such a dynamic was never his own, but it sparked joy to see a family so big, and mostly happy from the looks of it. Then he caught sight of the elf. He'd make his way close by, not in the man's space, but close by, as though finding a place to watch the chaos.
After a moments observation he'd turn to casually address the man, a smile on his face. "Now that's a family, eh? Big... happy..." He said in Elven, shaking his head before continuing "My father was a wretched crook of a man, tried to make me just like him, you know? Only loving family I ever saw were those of the friends he forbade me to see. And recently, just a few days past, my friends and I managed to rescue two children. Their family's were slaughtered by Drow, and they escaped! Only to be captured by goblins for... foul purpose. Such things are almost enough to make me lose hope in such a dark world, maybe make me jaded." he finished with a wistful sigh. "Then I see a family like this, with such energy, such life, and I know that if ever I have the pleasure of having such for myself, I'd thank the gods above for every day I had with them, flaws and all."
With that, he'd toss a wink to the man and say in Common "Enjoy the festival sir!" before approaching the bar to try and get some breakfast as well. He wasn't entirely sure why he felt the need to say that to the man, it wasn't his place or his business, but he hoped it gave him something a little brighter to dwell on.
