HEE HEE HEE:

...and it's starting to wonder about this pelijah they're holding an extra seat for. He's not in the personnel records, but ltformav9 notes that he gets his own glass of wine. Ancient protocol did not account for this situation.

Oh man, that's good stuff. Funny, but sweetly sad too.

I'm so glad you liked!

(And it's strange, but writing this made me notice the poignancy in that whole ritual of setting a place out of sheer hope -- and then still believing it'll come around next time if we keep the stories going -- in a way that I haven't really thought of in ages.)

Yeah, the outside point of view -- a perspective that has no context of the tradition -- really does lend an extra poignancy. Man, who knew sentient tables could bring so much to a narrative!

[gchick]
