As Alea called him, he stopped and turned to look at her.
"Is something the matter, sis?" Lith asked calmly.
He addressed Alea as sis because it was awkward when he first called her 'Miss Alea' and got looks from everyone in the room.
Alea walked towards him and holding both his hands, said, "Let's hangout some more… don't go."
Alea had seen Lith for the first time and she was curious and interested to know how her little cousin was. She wanted to play with him and have fun because she didn't have any relatives other than her aunts and two cousins.
The ladies smiled in response as Alea cutely asked Lith to hangout with her.
"Do you have urgent work?" Lucy walked close to Lith and asked.
"You could say so." Lith answered. "Ralph and Dennis are attending the banquet and I haven't met them yet. We are the host and can't leave guests unattended, right?"
"Oh." Lucy understood the matter.
