Gwendolyn fought against a grin as Cameron held out another fork to her. She considered cheekily taking it off his utensil, but instead daintily took the fork from him with her fingers. “I know you would. Let’s not force the council to look upon such a sight,” she said, a rumble of a laugh going down the table.<br/><br/>With spirits lightened a bit, the meeting was able to resume until its conclusion a few hours later. As the councilmen stood, Gwendolyn called out one last reminder.<br/><br/>“Kyrion, please find the Fens immediately and inform them of our change in roles. And notify them that they are to report to the council meeting tomorrow.”<br/><br/>When she and Cameron were the last to remain in the Council Room, Gwendolyn turned to smile tiredly up at him, but did not make a motion to step closer, just in case someone were to step in.<br/><br/>“They all took news of your elevation well. I’m glad.”
