Now, as they all sat around the long table in Lucian's dining hall, with everyone trying to pass one dish to the other, Ave couldn't help but wish the owner of the place was around. The doomed palace had never been this lively before, and the thought that he was probably fighting in a war while they feasted in his place made her unable to eat and instead watch the rest.
By the time they were all done, the sun had gone down completely, and the crescent moon had risen in the starry night sky. They all looked drunk from overeating, and it was a sight worth capturing with a camera as they walked out of the palace towards their carriage, laughing and talking about what they found funny in the time they spent in the kitchen.
