Chương 143: Time to Dance

AARYN

He wasn't sure how she'd done it, but Elreth had convinced all of them to come up to the head table for dinner that night. Aaryn was reluctant—people were going to guess! But Elreth insisted. She had Dargyn and Rak come up as well, and let Huncer and Lhern sit to the side so they weren't bothered by the noise of the young Anima around her.

They were all tense and nervous, which in the males meant they ate a ton, and kept making inappropriate jokes.

In Elreth and Gwyn it meant picking at their food and looking at each other silently a lot.

Aaryn was nervous about Gwyn being so close to Elreth for this, but she was doing a great job of not putting him on the spot, and Elreth needed him there, so… in the end he just gave up to it all and got through the meal.

But when Elreth stood and Huncer called the market to hear her speak, his heart began to pound.
