It's good to have faces to put to all these names he knew from Howlback. Learning about them before meeting the others put Aarne in a natural mindset that they were people though the accidental incident with Howlback, he should apologize for that now that he knows.
There's no hesitation when he takes Viridian's paw and the body language cues say he would give her a hug if she wanted one. Daughter and this small meant child in Aarne's mind, culturally children received platonic affection from most people; family and family friends especially.
The only problem with a group this big is that he isn't sure where to look when he starts to speak, his eyes finally settling on Howlback since that's who he's familiar with.
"There's food and drink if you can have it." He adds that last part because he'd cooked for Ronno and Ziggy before with a laundry list of off limit foods. "The rest of the Hammers are here and some of the Hell's Angels. I'm not sure if the Spiders will come. They're so busy."
He thought maybe Howlback, at least, might want to meet some of the others after they had the long text talk.
