The people started to leave as the night befalls and the ceremony ended. Lycaon and Cressida were still seated on the upholstery watching everyone leave one after another. Vidarr and Zorion were standing at the door on either side. They greeted the guests as they left. Leserli stood beside Vidarr. They were having an eye to eye conversation and sometimes in whispers.
"Why are you shivering?" Vidarr whispered to Leserli without looking at her but the guests. He smiled at them as they leave.
"My knees gave up," Leserli replied wandering her eyes nowhere in the hall.
"What?" He averted his head at her. His eyebrows knitted in confusion.
She placed her fingers on his cheek and turned his face straight. "Don't look at me." She said and walked away from him. He glanced at her as she walked a little away from her and stood among the other females left in the hall. Unable to understand her words, he worked his mind to perceive the meaning.
