Chilled wines, brought up from the deeper water caverns. Warming sandals for the use of the guests, elementally heated to acclimate to the constant chill of the manse's depths beneath the waves. Another pair brought lamps to light the table and the stage as the ambient lighting was diminished. The Orchid beauty, only a few hours ago bound in the hardened violet armor, now sashayed across the floor to sit beside and to the rear of her husband, Umari.
