Ning cooked up a feast in the large and spacious backyard that night, asking folks from all the surrounding houses to come grab a bite.
Lady Laila was more than helpful in everything. She was happier about the entire thing than even Ning or Emma herself.
Hadden sat to the side eating, where the light ended and shadow began. In the shadows, Umbra stayed with her two children, enjoying the feast as well.
People came one by one, slowly causing a festive atmosphere to form around the backyard. When they learned why the feast was, they all came to Emma to congratulate her.
Many talked to Ning as well, trying to discern what their new neighbor was like. Learning that he was a converter made them give sad smiles toward him, almost as if they didn't think he would last very long.
