Vivienne held her cup of coffee and took a slow sip with an inscrutable expression on her face.

After what seemed like a contemplative pause she lifted her gaze and spoke softly. “Alright”

As they spoke their ordered meals gradually arrived

Dorian and Cordelia specifically placed Vivienne’s favorite spicy ribs and mango cake in front of her “These are your favorites, Vivienne Dig in don’t be shy”

Vivienne remained silent. She simply offered them a meaningful glance befom reaching for her fork

sighing helplessly

“Yeah, he was still coughing when we called him the other day. We’ll have him visit Rivenwood once he’s better”
