The Artificial Zecian Portals

It was a round table located by the center of the tavern, barely a meter in diameter, and it could seat four people. This was where Albrecht and his companions opted to share a meal with each other instead of staying in the room.

The enclosed space of the inn room made it more awkward for the ladies and Albrecht sensed it in an instant. That's why he changed his mind and decided to dine on the first floor where the tavern was. Margaret Hatchet found the idea very amenable since she didn't have to go up the stairs to serve them food.

Four of them sat in all four corners of the table, barely speaking a word while they ate. Sheila awkwardly glanced at the other two ladies. She wanted to get to know them and ask them about Albrecht but she couldn't bring herself to speak up first.
