"I am more concerned about how everyone else is looking at you," said Talindra.
"What do you mean?" asked Talilia.
"Oh, don't tell me you can't see the blood in everyone's eyes," added Drelduin.
"You both mean they are angry at me?" asked Talilia, wiping her tears.
"And Otho," replied Drelduin.
"Oh!!" said Talilia. She blinked once or twice and stood up. She clinked her glass making everyone look at her.
"What are you doing?" asked Talindra, hiding her face from everyone. It was going to be more humiliating. What was Talilia going to do?
"I have to talk to all," mumbled Talilia.
"No, you don't. Sit down," said Talindra. "Sorry, sorry, guys, please go back to eating."
"No! I have to say something!" shouted Talilia and looked at everyone. Her eyes lingered on Othorion for a second and then she looked at everyone else. "I have to say this to you all. I am very sorry for everything I made you all go through."
