Charming Elephant, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

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!

The place being run by charming elephants would have been an improvement, although probably they would have needed a larger building. Perhaps they could be miniature elephants, which would account for why they were so charming.

"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?"

"Oh," said Graham, "I'm alright."

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!"

"Oh, yes, of course," Lydia agreed. "Graduation." She had quite forgotten about that and did rather hope none of her other friends were graduating. "You shall always be welcome at Supper Club, of course, sir! I must confess I do not know what duties a knight may have in your realm. Sir William Lucas's mostly seemed to consist of talking about when he was presented at St. James's and occasionally hosting assemblies."

"Oh, well," Graham seemed more than happy to explain and break it down for Lydia, "I'm still a junior knight, you see, so that means I split my time between guard duty and proper quests, although they're only the local ones so far. Eventually, when I've earned my title a little more, then I might be given quests that venture out into the surrounding areas, maybe even further! Usually, they stick me on either moat duty, or wellness checks, and that's pretty much going around the kingdom to check in with everyone and see how they're doing, making sure none of the gnomes or leprechauns or bridge trolls are giving them any trouble. Oh! And fetching the goat when he gets out of his pen, which happens a lot actually!"
