บท 95: The drink

We reached the site of the party in just a few minutes of walk from Vaner's mansion. It wasn't that the place was near the dormitory of the disciples, but rather Vaner's mansion was in one of the best locations in the entire sect. 

The party itself took place in the main hall of the sect, vacated for this very reason by all the elders that would usually reside and work in there. Yet, even though the biggest building in the entire compound was dedicated just for the purpose of this grandiose meeting, crowds upon crowds of people already spilled to the massive garden that surrounded it. 

"It's pretty big," I commented in a half-voice while walking a step behind Terio. On the outside, it was something that the courtesy towards his seniorship required, while it was actually Terio's own idea on how to protect me from the bullies.
