Fighting their way through the estate positively infested with Venatori was not how Lucanis had imagined introducing Davrin to his home. Though, given everything else, he could have guessed that's how it would have gone with Rook. Seeing Caterina again, alive, very alive and well - it felt unreal. Almost as unreal as fighting Illario with both their lives on the line, not just for practice.
As unreal as Caterina declaring him First Talon in front of all the Houses and every Crow in Treviso.
Illario's planned victory celebration had become Lucanis' own, and he'd had maybe a little more wine than he was intending to deal with all the people. He made an effort to be there, to be with Caterina as much as possible, but this was all about performance. A chance to reconnect would come later. And he'd played his part.
He found Davrin in the crowd, reaching out to slip his hand into the Warden's.
