Curtain Call

There was a private box reserved for Nephis and Sunny. They were guided there by a young stagehand, who was visibly struggling to maintain decorum while bursting at the seams with excitement. It was not every day that Changing Star of the Immortal Flame clan visited a theater! In fact, Sunny was pretty sure that she had never participated in these kinds of social activities before.

There would be a freshly embossed plaque nailed in the foyer of the theater by tomorrow, no doubt. Something like "This humble establishment has enjoyed the patronage of the brightest of stars" or "We are proud to have hosted Her Royal Highness, Saint Nephis of Immortal Flame".

Such a simple thing was enough to enhance the theater's prestige twofold. 

'I wonder if this place is secretly sponsored by Cassie.'

The box was luxuriously furnished, dark, and elevated above the auditorium high enough so that no one could see what was happening inside.
