Thea was there, of course. Her mentor was the one getting her vows renewed, and the fifteen-year old sat in one of the middle rows, dark hair brushed, her usual red headband gone, in favor of a white ponytail, and wearing a pale blue dress.
She'd never been to a wedding, or a vow renewal, and it was clear every time Thea shifted, trying to look proper, like she knew what she was doing. She always felt more comfortable on a mat, with sports such as martial arts and fencing. Stuff where you could understand your opponent by exchanging blows. Not fancy social events. Still, Thea would do her best, and she fidgeted once more, pale fingers curling into the dress. When Shay looked over the crowd, Thea tried to give her a smile.
