Re: Table 2
Belvina didn't think she had been to a more uncomfortable wedding. She had looked at the bride and groom at the altar and thought how thoroughly unsuited they were. Walden was a man and Katherine... She was a young girl, barely a woman if that. It seemed completely wrong and she wondered if they could make a life together or whether Katherine would be completely subdued by Walden's wants and desires.
The latter seemed far more probable.
Her table, at least, wasn't as bad as she had feared. Although she couldn't show overt friendliness to Alexander, he was at least on her table. As was Lilith who she counted, if not a friend, then somebody she at least had the measure of. Which left Percy, Fenrir and Rabastan as unknowns. The latter two, most definitely, were dangerous unknowns.
Sipping at her drink, she ate some more of her food. "This is delicious," she said to nobody in particular, deciding that polite conversation was probably the way forward.
