Someone was having fun.

Calling herself 'Talya Alianovna', Nataliya had opted for something more ancestral than currently fashionable as her off-planet wedding party outfit. In theory, it was a costume worn by Tatar folk-dancers. In practice, she figured her ancestors had probably worn something with a slimmer skirt and a longer jacket.

Their loss.

While she got her bearings, 'Talya' hung out by the banquet tables, nibbling food and watching the crowd.

The dynamics were fascinating.
