"I made it clear that we were going to be taking you out to everyone that it was important to tell. I also know that Olivia got done with your other chores earlier, so you would have nothing to do. I am also bonded to you, so I knew when you got back into Northwall, and I told my mother to get ready," Listenia explained as if it was common to track soone so thoroughly, but Listenia what that type of woman is. If she wanted sothing, it was going to be hers.
I looked over at her mother, Elfina, who really looked nothing like her, and they both looked to be the sa age. If anything, Listenia was the older-looking of the two, but that was just because of her white blonde hair. "I see, but you two look beautiful. Where are we going?"
"A fancy restaurant in the city! I have been dying to go there for years, and I was finally able to get reservations," Listenia explained with more excitent than I expected as she grasped my arm and pulled towards the door with a grin that looked like it could light up the whole world. "Let's go!"
Listenia didn't tell where we were going as she held on tightly to my arm. Elfinia followed us out with a smug expression on her face as if this was all part of so plan that she had hatched up. Maybe it was, but I would find out soon enough because we walked into one of the most extravagant restaurants in Northwall City called The Phoenix Dawning. It wasn't so much the na that garnered its fa, though; it was what they served there.
The mont you stepped inside of The Phoenix Dawning, a massive Fire Bird would swoop down from above and land atop your table, waiting for your order. Another would bring you wine or whatever else you wanted while still more flitted around lighting candles or helping set food onto tables. You could even get items not related to food, like clothes which I found to be more than strange, but they were all styled in the image of the Fire Birds.
"This place is amazing!" I exclaid as I looked around at all the people who were dressed to the nines. This was a very upscale restaurant, and it was easy to see that Listenia fit in perfectly here with her attire. Even Elfinia managed to look good despite her sour attitude, but then again, maybe that added to her appeal.
A waitress ca over and escorted us towards our table, where the massive Fire Bird perched, waiting for us as we sat down. As we did, another one flitted over, lighting candles on our table while yet another brought wine for each of us along with so cheese straws, which slled wonderful.
The mont we were seated, though, Listenia launched into how things had been going since I last saw her. The blacksmith seed to be much more animated and friendly now, but I noticed her cheeks were slightly flushed. Maybe she was just excited to be out and about, rather then at ho?
Then I watched her drain an entire glass of wine in a single drink, but Listenia carried on like it was nothing. I was a bit confused, though, because I didn't know that she was a drinker, but her conversation seed fine, just more animated. Maybe it took more than a glass of wine, but Elfinia didn't seem bothered at all as she sipped on her own glass calmly.
After that, Listenia and Elfinia started talking about things that had happened in the city since I left, as if I wasn't even there, and my attention began to wander. There were people all around us wearing beautiful clothes and eating off plates of gold with silverware to match, along with their expensive-looking jewelry, which caught the light beautifully.
The Phoenix Birds were everywhere, and it was easy to see that they were more than just wait staff. They flitted about constantly lighting candles or changing them as well as helping set plates down on tables. So even carried clothing around for people who had co in from the cold and needed to change before sitting down at their table.
I watched a pair of girls get seated near us who looked to be on their first date by the way they fidgeted with each other. They soon relaxed and started laughing together while holding hands across the table between them. It made happy to see that things like love could still blossom, and it was cute seeing girls act like this.
In a world where there were only won, it was expected that they would date just like in the worlds with n, but the way the won acted was different than in those worlds. n were considered the domineering sex, but in a world of just won, it was the opposite.
Won were seen as being more nurturing and caring than n, who tended to be more violent. Not all n were like that, of course, but most tended to fit into that stereotype because they had been taught to believe that they should be like that. So won did too, but not many since their natural state seed to lean towards caretaking rather than violence which was a good thing, in my opinion.
There wasn't much else for to do at the mont besides listening half-heartedly as Listenia babbled about things I really didn't care about since they were just random things happening around town. Instead, people watched and ate so cheese straws, which tasted amazing! They also had this dip made from sour cream, garlic, and spices which went perfectly with them!
The al went on like this for quite so ti until it started winding down when Elfinia got up without warning or explanation, leaving Listenia sitting there sputtering angrily before she finally managed to get out an indignant "Mother!"
