Emma's Tea Spot, Baltimore, Maryland, Thursday Afternoon

It was Lydia's twentieth birthday in a few days, which she very much doubted anyone remembered. She was trying very hard not to make a fuss about that, though it was very difficult. Look at her, maturing or something. Still, as the birthday girl she felt she was allowed a few liberties, such as moving Supper Club to the afternoon so they could have afternoon tea, a lovely English tradition she thoroughly predated but had been introduced to on the school trip to Canada. She did so hope everyone would enjoy it.

She had included in the message letting their usual suspects know about the time change and location a note that it might be fun to dress up a bit (she herself was wearing her newest dress, but that wasn't mandatory. Probably. Look, you had all met Lydia, right?

Welcome to Supper--er, Afternoon Tea Club, everyone!

"It's rather new to me, as well," Lydia confessed. "I first discovered it at the hotel we stayed in on the school trip to Canada. It's quite delightful, though. All the little treats." Lydia did so love a little treat.

"And they just give you tea and treats?" she asked.

"The treats come on a little tower!" Lydia reported. "Or they did in Canada. I've no idea how the Americans handle such matters."

"A tower with a flag on it?"

It had to have happened somewhere, okay.

"I don't see any reason why there couldn't be a little flag," Lydia allowed. "We could ask for one?"

"I don't need one personally, but feel free," Rey said. "They like their flags here. Especially at this time of year."

Lydia, non-connoisseur of world affairs that she was, blinked politely at Rey a few times before a connection fired in her brain. "Oh, the flags! Yes, the colon--the Americans do like their flags, don't they?"
