Moses hurried past the diners, who ate at tables set on the marble wall that delineated the lake that lined the street. On the other hand, Mel was very interested in the order he saw for the first time; the people of the Near Circle could dine while watching the swans by the lake in the cul-de-sac, which was twenty feet wide.
He had gotten used to dining at luxury establishments as a student at the Green Shadow Academy, but this was another level, and he was learning that this was just the entrance. He had to squint his eyes as he stepped through the door of the building, which was five times the size of the normal, which covered the right side of the dead-end street.
It was so bright that he had to walk on his first steps inside, not knowing where he was going. Moses stood beside him as if waiting for this, guiding the waiters as they tried to carry the orders from the tables to the other side.
