Summary
From pinboard.in: "set in a fantasy world, with great world-building for such a short story. Lysith is a dinner companion, woken abruptly to serve at a meal for the signing of a treaty of five lands. It's extremely bad luck for a dinner companion to come before the end of the meal. Alen, the Lord of Dearth, is pulling out his best tricks to make that happen so that he doesn have to sign the treaty. Too bad Lysith is very very good at his job"
