Erin really did this up right, he thought to himself as they moved forward into the center of the floor. In truth, she had performed miracles to get this ready in just two weeks. They halted there to form a receiving line for their guests: Gwen at the front, then Robert, then Erin and finally Sapphira, who was serving as hostess. There were a huge number of guests in attendance. After all, it was not every day that the child of the Haran al-Tari was introduced to Tar Valon society. There were a horde of eligible young men present, most in the uniform of the Guard, but some not. The latter were made up of the usual assortment of noble wastrels and ne-er-do-wells who hoped to marry their way into money, and whose only skills were flattery and seduction. He had no worries about Gwen on that score. Robert wondered how many of the latter would be put off by the broad, muscled shoulders and the callused hands from the daily weapons practice. Plus there was the fact that she was taller than most. She was almost as tall as her father, and he loomed above six feet in height. Edited by Robert Laurel, Feb 8 2009, 05:46 PM.
