Nefretiri
"Luna Nefretiri," my name and title were said for the thousandth time, and I was forced to excuse myself again.
Since I came downstairs, pretending my late arrival was all planned out, there had been nothing but introductions, pointless small talk, and an eagerness to get to know me that made me feel nauseous.
"Hello," I smiled, pretending to be polite before shaking hands with someone else I didn't know.
"This is Blue Smith," Taylor introduced to me. She had stayed by my side, remembering names and titles and keeping each interaction to a minimum. If we survived all this, I was going to give her a raise. "One of the fae leaders in the region. Though they're further to the East."
