Riven remained by the food table, savouring the rich flavours of the Lion Kingdom's delicacies. He was going to miss these when he eventually went back to Ronan or Soren, though they wouldn't mind acquiring these items for him.
Just as Riven reached for another pastry, Lady Seraphina approached him again. He tensed slightly, recalling their earlier interaction, but her demeanour seemed more composed this time.
"Representative of the Wolf Clan," she said, handing him a glass of wine, "I hope you're enjoying your stay in our kingdom."
Riven glanced at Leon, who was still engaged with the officials, then back at Seraphina. Unsure of the proper etiquette, he accepted the glass and took a polite sip.
Seraphina watched him intently, then insisted, "Please, finish it. Otherwise its considered an insult here."
Riven hesitated, feeling the pressure of the situation. Before he could respond, Leon appeared beside him, smoothly taking the glass from Riven's hand.
