789 Preparing Sylvan

The first course of the meal was brought out, a lovely butternut squash soup, and the guests made polite conversation with the Priya Family members at the table, paying special attention to Tian.

Not only was their favourite heir getting the friendly attention that she craved, the other Coven Council families had clearly decided to play nice with Wolfe, and they were starting by ingratiating themselves with the ones that were his favourites.
