Chaps Pit Beef, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Evening

[mustbeawitch]

Lydia was positive she had heard Arden talk about 'barbecue' before, and so she was sure that the restaurant she had chosen for tonight's supper club would be delicious, even if she was once more not sure what she was getting herself into. Perhaps she ought to have consulted her friend, but she had spent the weekend as a ninny and apparently Arden had been some trees, so: extenuating circumstances?

She did hope no one was in the mood for vegetables, as they seemed rather few and far between.

Welcome to Supper Club, everyone!

Liliana was quite happy to exist in that kiss for a long and endless second.

"And just think, my darling..." she said when they parted. "A garden party means no new chandelier."

You know. Probably.

"But could it even be considered a party," Ignis countered, leaning his forehead against hers, "without one?"

Because as much as the words no new chandelier rippled across the frugal parts of his brain with an intense pleasure now expressed by the drift of his fingertips along Liliana's arm, a precedent has been set.

"Any gathering we throw is a party, my darling" Liliana said, with an arrogant toss of her hair. "It's us."

You knew there could be no other response, Ignis. You did.

"Buuuuuut, if you insist on a new chandelier, I am sure we can make something happen. I am very resourceful in my profligacy, after all."

That hover smirk on Ignis' face pulled a little more.

"I'm thinking," he offered, "a lovely afternoon garden reception, then, followed by music and dancing in the ballroom for those who'd care to join us and admire the new chandelier. Because, yes..."

Another kiss, for emphasis.

"I do insist."

"Oh, well, you know I do enjoy it when you insist," Liliana replies with a silky purr, voice full of promise. "I suppose when we get home, you'll just have to demonstrate how unyielding you intend to be on this issue."

A kiss.

"Repeatedly."

Re: Arrive and Mingle

"As many times as it takes," Ignis promised with a low growl to match that purr. "And I believe you'll find my argument to be quite determined."

And a kiss again, of course.

"And thorough."
