You'll both be fine, he sent. There shouldn't be opportunity for a fight at this point, as long as you are in the banquet. Don't accept any offers to wander off and don't agitate anyone. He sighed. I know that's a lot to ask of you, Sydlynn, but I'd like to deliver you to your mother in one piece.
I scowled as Meira giggled. So you don't think anyone will step up? That was a big relief.
Not during the banquet, he sent. As long as you don't push it, it's kind of frowned on.
Good to know. I felt my shoulders unknotting as Pagomaris firmly gripped my head and stogged it into some kind of fur hat. I felt immediately itchy and wished I could get away with swatting her.
For all I knew, she'd like it.
