The seating arrangement of the Walyon Family is quite particular, not based on seniority, but on one's status within the family.
Adrian Walyon's seat has always been beside the Old Master from a young age, opposite him and on equal footing is Paul Walyon.
Bryce Walyon, as the uncle, is seated further back.
Even though the Old Master usually shows equal affection to all branches of the family, the seating arrangement alone reveals that the second branch is always just that - second, a tier below Adrian's family.
Seeing Adrian once again seated beside the Old Master, Bryce's mood during dinner was especially complex today.
Adrian didn't say much, quietly eating his meal from start to finish without speaking to anyone at home.
He ate quickly, intending to finish dinner and return to Morning Garden as soon as possible.
But while they were eating, the Old Master started talking about the Walyon Clan Group.
