I had to suppress the urge to turn around and see if they reacted like this because of someone behind me. But no, when Thomas introduced me, the old couple still had not snapped out of it, their horrified eyes still on me.
What the hell.
Seeing that they hadn't reacted, Thomas repeated himself, not fazed of the behavior they displayed,
"This is Lesly Lennister, my wife."
I nodded at them,
"Nice to meet you." And saw the old man quicker recovering that his wife,
"Welcome to the family." He said curtly before turning away. It didn't appear like he wanted to have a conversation with me or even look at me once more.
My mother-in-law repeated her husband's words, but still did not stop looking at me now and then, as if she had seen a ghost. Both of them welcomed Jude oddly as well, with his grandfather just patting his shoulder and his grandmother looking at him in pity.
