Honestly, if someone told Alfar that he was going to be appointed the Provost of Thyrsoi within a week of coming to Sacramento, he would have laughed them in the face. Because he was new. It was strange, to change your life completely when you’ve already turned thirty, when the career and private life seemed so solid, but it was also exhilarating. Both becoming a Shaman and starting anew. He couldn’t afford to be easy-going about his Awakened life: others had advantage over him in experience despite being younger and he had to remedy that. That was why he pitched for the job of Provost. Alfar wasn’t really expecting it to be turned over to him. If it had been his decision, he would have chosen Idun. She was the only one whom Triquetra knew.
Thinking along these lines Alfar waits for his Councillor in a small café which has a chef who barely uses any seasonings. Exploring the natural taste of food was something the shaman learnt from his Master. The concept was much broader though. It was about being honest with yourself, about trying to sense the natural flow of events, about earning your position not through trickery, but through work.
Triquetra called him a while back and offered Alfar to choose a place. The doctor thought that it may have been a test, but he didn’t mind. A Provost was a serious position with plenty of responsibility. She deserved to know as much as possible about him as possible. And he had some questions of his own.
So he booked a table in a semi-private alcove at this place he discovered a while back. This isn’t a private booth, but there are no tables near them and, as long as they don’t speak when the waiter comes, they should be able to converse freely.
