"First thing first, let's have a toast to this year. It wasn't the best but still, it was a good year!"
"Cheers!!"
Three hours after we arrive, we were all brought to a balcony. Frankher and Keltia were already there, wearing normal clothes, not too fancy. The butler gave us all a glass of juice and we drank after a light toast. Now, it is the most tiring time for boring and unneeded conversations.
They all start talking happily about things I don't possibly care about, even Lanuvel is smiling. I guess her mother being here is reassuring for her. Frankher approaches me and places his hand on my shoulder while I am observing them.
"You aren't the most talkative fellow, I see."
"I don't really see the point of it, Sir. Though, I appreciate the atmosphere it creates." I should talk to him with respect since I am an affiliate of the Koersombre.
