Breakfast had turned out to be in the same dining area where we had our late dinner last night. Thankfully Auntie Z wasn't there. Unfortunately, Set was present and accounted for. He sniffed the air when I walked in, allowed the corners of his lips to turn up in a smug and hateful little smile, and nodded my way. I was pleased to see that there were 3 other Fae joining us for breakfast. I wondered what information I could get off them.

Tomas helped me get seated next to a female Fae dressed in shimmering lavender from head toe. Her hair was so light that it was more silver than blond. She wore it swept up and adorned with pearls and what looked like sapphires. It must have taken someone over an hour to do that. It was amazing, but who had that type of time for hair? She was introduced as Freyja, Mistress of the Craft and overseer of the Festival. She cordially welcomed me, but there was a bit of wariness in her eyes as we exchanged pleasantries. Was it me that was making her wary or the lecherous way Set was peering at her over his plate? I checked the shield on my thoughts. I wasn't up for any of his XXX projections.

On Tomas's other side sat a fierce looking female Fae dressed in fighting leathers. Her leathers were shiny black and looked butter soft. The stitching on the bodice was different shades of red. It ran vertical through the entire bodice. The epaulets over her shoulders were cut to ruffle and rested prettily on her muscular arms. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a severe bun and was adorned simply with a few red jewels. I looked at her and longed to train. I normally trained every day and seeing someone so quietly powerful made me want it. I could only imagine what training would be like in my enhanced body. Training, is definitely going on my list right behind the library. Tomas introduced her as Inanna.

Next to Set was another Fae male. He was dressed in a suit similar to that of the Tomas and Set. It was of the same heavy linen, midnight blue, and close cut. He was also similar in size to the Prince, but there the similarities ended. His skin was not the sun kissed bronze of Tomas, it was decidedly pale in deference to almost everyone I had seen since I had been here. An emissary then? He was simply introduced as Merrick. No title was given. He nodded curtly when Tomas introduced us, immediately returning to his conversation with Set. I cut my eyes at Tomas. He gave an almost imperceptible shrug and began helping himself to the platter of eggs in front of him.

I had so many questions for Tomas but didn't want to let my psyche open to ask them now. I couldn't risk anyone getting in. The front door, the back door, and the side door needed to be locked up tight from here on out.
