'Well, he doesn't look too bad,' Evin thought as he stood up to bow.

Viscount Borna had everyone sit down, and introduced everyone. It was mostly a formality, as everyone was vaguely familiar with each other. The only thing that Evin learned was the name of Arelyn's boyfriend (Renor or something), but soon enough, the name slipped away from Evin's mind. Besides, the man's only purpose there seemed to be to scowl at children, so Evin found it hard to think highly of him.

"Ah, but to think my young Bella would come home one day with another…" the Viscount commented.

"Dear, please don't encourage your daughter to make relations before she's fifteen." Elufay interjected, not bothering to hide her scowl. "And a commoner, of all people."

Evin quickly realized he didn't like this woman, and looking around, everyone but the Viscount himself seemed to agree with him.
