Dogwood Rose #2, Eisenhower Green #21, Bone Black #20
Story: Family Dinner
'Verse: Feredar
Colors: Dogwood Rose #2. burgundy: unconscious beauty, Eisenhower Green #21. what's it like being somebody's beard?, Bone Black #20. All is vanity
Supplies and Materials: miniature collection, stained glass, pointilism, photography, charcoal, pastels (my current gen+romance card N1 "good news"), canvas (979 FY)
Word Count: 267
Rating: PG
Characters: Prince Kellom, King Sorell, Prince Andrell, Queen Nida, Fera
Warnings: None
Notes: Constructive criticism welcome, as always.
Kellom is here because he can no longer put marriage off--the girl he's chosen is from a good family with a reputation for fertility, and she has a certain quiet, mousy prettiness to her, but if he'd had a way out, he wouldn't be here tonight.
Sorell is profoundly relieved that Kellom finally made his choice and had her come to be properly introduced to the family--not that he didn't know who she was, he'd of course put together the list of potential consorts for Kellom to choose from--but he's finally chosen, and chosen well.
Andrell thinks his prospective sister-in-law is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen--not because she outshines his sisters (especially Tana and Sola) or the other renowned court beauties, but because something about her quiet beauty draws him in--but she's going to be his brother's wife, so he just stares down at his plate and answers in monosyllables and hates being fourteen and feeling so awkward and left out.
Nida is painfully aware of how awkward this is, though Sorell and Mellir and the older girls seem oblivious--between Kellom's obvious disinterest, his fiancée’s clear and deepening devotion to him, and Andrell and Tana's sulking...she has no problem with her future daughter-in-law, but she can't wait for this dinner to be over.
Fera is overwhelmed--by Prince Kellom choosing her, his family (even though his older sisters' husbands and children aren't here), and just how much everything is, far too much for her--but at the same time, she loves it, every overpowering, overbearing, over-exalted moment of it.

Yes. Nida does her best by Fera until she dies. And Andrell makes sure she doesn't get set upon after her husband's death, at least.
