Chapter Twelve

A Test of Character

As far as evenings went, the one at the Genuine Palace was deceptively normal. Gathering around the table for dinner, the inhabitants of Caratasa’s kept the food and drink flowing, and the conversation light, though Rapunzel could not help but notice those who were missing, or the woman who looked every so often toward the exits, as if she was the one who should be distressed by her presence there.

Food well-prepared, flamed over an outdoor fire by Gurr with Jack’s help, it had little taste upon Rapunzel’s tongue, and, glancing toward the dark beyond the window, she felt alone for a moment amongst her friends.

“Has anyone checked on… Esteban?” She stopped just short of giving away their secret, glancing down the table at Akasha, who seemed not to pick up on anything out of the ordinary.

“Just before we came to the table,” Jack said. “I took him a leg. He is having a most delightful time. We may have discovered Esteban’s true calling.”

When Jack winked down the table at her, the feeling of isolation let up somewhat. The statement bringing the slightest of smiles to her lips, Rapunzel tried to hang onto it, not sure when she might feel like smiling again.
