Four witches came into Talia's and Damon's room before the feast.
They carried ceremonial garments for both Talia and Damon, a basket of small white flowers, and containers that held golden paste. That reminded Talia of Axel's and Yasmin's appearances during their ceremony at the fountain, especially Axel whose body was completely exposed (except for his precious parts).
Damon and Talia were both excited about the ceremony, neither aware of the incoming conflicting emotions (jealousy, possessiveness) that will fill the rest of the evening.
Talia wanted to have a ceremony, but she didn't approve of Damon's delicious body being on display for witches to see. But can it be a proper ceremony if he was covered up?
It was a tough choice, but Damon looked only at her, like bare-breasted witches were not in the room, so she allowed it. For now.
The ceremony is about to begin!
