Tranquil Evening

While waiting for their food, everyone ordered drinks for themselves. Vicky asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail while Henry got a glass of water. Sera and Bran each ordered glasses of red wine.

They didn't specify what kind of wine, so of course, the waiter brought the most expensive one.

The young girl they assigned to their table was a nervous mess. Her hands trembled as she poured water from the pitcher, and she had to return to retake their order, because her handwriting was unreadable from the shaking.

Bran tried making a few jokes to lighten the girl's stress, but she only managed an awkward laugh before scurrying away.

Several tables watched them, yet they remained unfazed. They were all significant political figures, so getting attention just by existing wasn't new to them.
