Attending a formal large-scale banquet requires wearing formal attire. Lecia had the carriage go directly to a tailor shop on Silver Cross Avenue. She had prepared multiple suits for Shard in advance for next Tuesday's wedding banquet. Today was just the right time for him to try on one of them, and if it didn't fit, it could still be altered.
Thus, with Lecia's help, Shard spent quite some time getting ready before officially setting off for the City of Red Wine in the Southern Nation.
This evening banquet was quite large, expected to start at seven. When Shard emerged from the underground cellar of the White Valley Vineyard, half of the sun was still visible in the western sky, hanging at the horizon of the wilderness.
