Kapitel 102: Bone Soup with Likable Friends

 To Defi's surprise, it was Falie and Hames who had organized the onsite preparations.

"Aire's been flitting around town sourcing the supplies and people." Falie informed him.

"I see." Defi felt guilt at having someone who already had thirteen children to take care of running around town for this. "Thank you for coming."

Maybe he should have bought better wine or more spices?

Falie laughed, ruffled his hair. "Who else would be here? That Sarel is unreliable."

"She's busy in Ecthys too."

"Ecthys isn't here, see?" Falie pointed out stubbornly. "Unreliable."

Defi could only smile, helpless. 

Getting between Falie and Sarel's endless bickering would be an exercise in regret. He looked around for Hames, who could easily distract his wife, but the man had the habit of blending into the background except when he was sitting at a gambling table.
