I EXPLAINED TOthe guys that I had met Gazazhel in a bizarre chance encounter, then described the rest of the events, emphasizing that the white knight had been very loyal to me.
"He smells fishy." Blair looks annoyed and bored, stretching languidly. The banquet is in full swing.
"I knew you'd say that," I reply, and for a few moments, the subject takes a break.
My stomach experiences a satisfying sense of fullness. I almost can't believe I've eaten such delicious food... how much will I have to pay for allowing myself such a fine meal? My Unseelie Fairies would punish me instantly... according to them, I should feed on frogs and burnt bread. I check on Gazazhel two or three times. He keeps me within his field of vision. Those cobalt eyes have the immense power to make me uneasy.
"Why does he wear a mask?" Ainnir asks, shivering.
"I don't know." I drown my unease in mead.
Daven, seated on the other side of the table, looks over his shoulder and studies him discreetly. "Do you know what impression I get? Of a knight who has nothing to do with our world and who popped up out of nowhere."
"No one comes out of nowhere, dear Daven," our chocolate-skinned friend corrects him.
The bountiful banquet concludes, and the bagpipers are called. The court maidens, by tradition, invite the knights to dance the energetic dances of Ocleodathe's people; there are clapping, melodious songs, and intense chatter. We part ways: Ainnir goes to argue with a knight who has made an unwelcome joke, Moyna dances with a young man who has kindly approached her, Blair steals desserts, and Daven scares a group of girls by lifting his eye patch.
