Cassius somewhat frowned at the story. 
"Better you survive with mark of the encounter rather then die and accomplish nothing in life. But yes, bears are quite tenacious. I'm sorry you had to go through with that." He gave a sincere bow before getting up to offer cake to the rest of the party. 

He lastly walked over to Henrietta. "What is red Lyrium by the way? From what the zealous person said, it sounds dangerous. But aren't all resources dangerous to an extent?" He raised a brow a bit as he placed the cake in her hand. The cakes themselves were generally pretty small, but easy to ration. 

Each of the cakes were yellow and had a butter cream frosting mixed with vanilla extract. It was good if one was tired and needed a wake up call, or just wanted a nice burst of energy. If one had a good sweet tooth, it too would be nice. Or if just having a bad day, it would generally be a high light of it.
