Chapter 580: Totally normal conversations
Another masked Avian quickly showed up to lead Speed and Sofia to a table in another room, and Sofia lost sight of the person who looked an awful lot like one of Richard’s ‘spare bodies’.
There were exquisite sculptures and paintings exposed everywhere, which made the restaurant feel almost like some kind of museum, and Sofia couldn’t help but feel like she was a bit out of place. I suppose it’s not too strange for someone like Richard to come eat here?
There were not that many guests currently eating, but Sofia recognised no one else among the various races of people busy eating and conversing on the other tables.
The masked avian led them all the way to a darker corner where a few booth-like spaces each had tables for two, which were actually on some kind of a balcony overlooking a theatre-like scene that was currently empty. Two of the five tables already had a couple seated and sharing drinks. Bringing them to the leftmost table, the avian snapped his fingers and the candles around the booth all lit up, while the chairs pulled themselves back. “Will this table be alright?”
“Yes, thank you,” Speed answered right away.
The masked avian nodded, “Have a seat, we will bring the menu shortly,” he said before he turned around and left.
Sofia and speed awkwardly sat down.
“Someone you know?” Speed asked, taking Sofia by surprise. It seemed he had noticed her looking at the potential Richard.
“Kind of? I’m not sure I’m allowed to share the details, but huh, I recognised a fellow necromancer, I suppose?” Sofia answered, uncertain about how she would even begin to explain Richard’s antics and her connection to him if she tried.
