CHAPTER SEVEN

“So, what should I expect from the Solstice celebration?” Rowan asked Fenella the morning before said celebration was to commence.

Her friend looked up at her with an arched eyebrow. “I’m surprised you haven’t asked Aidan about it. It’s not as if he wouldn’t tell you, and you do seem to trust him more now.” There was a hint of a sparkle in her eyes at the last comment, but Rowan elected not to comment.

“I will ask him, of course, but he’s been preoccupied the past few days.” He was, she knew, assessing the situation in Niall’s domain as well as solidifying his position among the nobles of Lord Kennet’s Court. He had told her as much when she’d asked, and she had realized, with some pleasure, that he had no intention of keeping secrets from her.

It was only that at the moment, he didn’t have the luxury of time to teach her all of the nuances of intra-court politics.

“However, I also want your opinion. You’re the one who’s lived in my world, so you have a better idea of what I will find strange or bothersome. I don’t believe Aidan would lie to me on purpose, but I do think he might omit important details because they seem normal to him.”

“Fair point,” Fenella said, seating herself at the table across from Rowan. “The ceremony here at sunset is rather formal and sober. Almost a sort of funeral for the ‘dead’ sun. The rest of the evening is supposed to be spent in quiet meditation and reverence. The real party is at sunrise, but everyone is tired, so it’s more sedate than you’d expect. But Aidan doesn’t usually stay here for Solstice; he always leaves right after sunset.”
