Both took our hands, giving a slight bow, a tradition Mother told me about.
"Say Cedric, have you by chance seen Dalton? He should be here," James said, looking around for a bit.
"We’re right here".
A voice came in as Dalton approached us, Danette beside him, dressed in a sheath gown also but red, her cloak black, embodied with red designs, her hair pack in a bun but hidden underneath her hood.
"The road under reconstruction caused a delay" he adds.
We exchanged formalities as I did with James and Camille, once again Danette gave me a warm smile I couldn’t resist.
"Well, Lady Sylvia it’s good to see you again," Dalton said with a smug look.
I forced a smile.
"Lady Sylvia, it’s traditional you wear your hood up before the picnic, it’s necessary," Camille said in amusement.
