Charming Elephant, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening
Did Lydia know where Laos was, or anything about its food? Not at all! But the photos on the website of Charming Elephant looked delightful, and wasn't that what really mattered? Cute photos of your food for social media?
Hopefully someone in the Supper Club would know something about Laos. Maybe. With this bunch the odds were not strong.
Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Arrive and Mingle
Wait. Probably not that.
Re: Arrive and Mingle
He was pretty sure Charlie and Stewart would understand that he could easily arrange to hit up more Open Mics. And he'd been to more, too! And the place was called Charming Elephant???
Charlie and Stewart would definitely understand!
And so he was here this time, already eagerly pursuing the menu and trying to decide between way too many options.

Re: Arrive and Mingle
But for now, he was all smiles as he lifted his cap and met Lydia with a cloak-sweeping bow. "Good evening, Miss Bennet! And thank you! Glad I was able to make it."
His grin grew even more once his cap was fitted back into place.
"And how are you? Looking forward to yet another excellent supper?"
Re: Arrive and Mingle
"I certainly hope so! I must confess no familiarity with the nation of Laos, although some of the items on the menu look somewhat familiar." Let's hear it for regional similarities. "And yourself, sir?"
Re: Arrive and Mingle
Which was a much less enthusiastic answer than one might expect from him, really. There was still a smile on his face, big and bright, but he blinked in a way that might betray him to a keen observer who knew him well.
"Graduation's this weekend! So I'll be heading back to my nightly duties again soon! It's been nice to come back and finish up school, but Daventry and adventure awaits! So I'm really glad to get through chance to drop in on one more Supper Club, but if I find myself with a free Thursday, I might try to drop in again!"

But he shifted that out of his brain and smiled at Rey. "Definitely the Pad Kapow!"
Of course, he said it with all the emphasis it deserved.
"I gotta try something with a name like that! How about you? What's looking good to you?"

He would certainly be prepared for question.
He was always prepared, of course.
Although he might like some coffee first.

"I...do," he responded, with a bit of a cautious edge, since those plans involved things he was not so readily discussing in the open quite yet. "Unfortunately, though, it won't be teaching. With everything that happened over the past month, I'll be rather engaged back on Innistrad, helping to do what I can with the reconstruction efforts. The plane is in a bit of chaos at this moment, and no surprise there. It was, after all, almost devoured..."
Nice, normal supper conversational topics, truly.
Re: Arrive and Mingle
Wait. Her attention had wandered back in. "However could a plane be devoured? Isn't it quite large?" Miss Vess had certainly made it sound so.
Re: Arrive and Mingle
"Quite," he confirmed, "as was the entity Emrakul. Granted, it was not larger than the plane itself, of course, but I imagine there was some sort of internal void sort of situation going on..."
Somewhere back on the island, Eleanor Zarrin felt her ears burning and couldn't explain why.
"...or it could also likely grow in size as it did with power the more it consumed, until it was indeed large enough to overtake everything with ease."

She was here, she was in a good mood, she was pondering cheesy pad Thai.

Also at some point your brain reached learning capacity and then you fall down and go to sleep. Proven fact.

Don't ask about the pistol.

Which he was pronouncing like chaos.
Re: Arrive and Mingle
"I know it's different from coy try to country, but they have similar things to other restaurants we've been to," she told him. "Which should be helpful for everyone."
