Chapter 15: The Blood Seal
The Spring Council sat in a round hall with eight hundred seats.
Idris had been given one in the front row, with a bun in his lap.
He had stolen the bun from the breakfast table on the way out.
Nobody had stopped him, because nobody had spoken to him in four days.
Dain sat on his left, whole, in dress blacks, a hand's breadth away.
It was a very careful hand's breadth.
The wolf lay between their boots, a border of grey light.
"Registry day," the clerk read from the dais. "Marriages declared sealed."
Idris listened to forty names go by and ate the bun in small, unhappy bites.
"The Marshal-General of the Fleet, Dain Korrigan, and Idris Penhallow-Korrigan."
The clerk turned a page.
"The Hall Master of Orsa attests that the bond is sealed and the union consummated. The petition of House Penhallow to void it is withdrawn."
Odile Penhallow, three rows back in dove grey, sat with her hands folded.
She did not look up.
