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

[mustbeawitch]

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!

"Professor Scientia, good afternoon," Lydia said. "I trust all the preparations are in order for your upcoming party?"

"Oh, I should certainly hope so," Ignis said, with a faint smile and an ironic tone that did well to cover any underlying anxiety over such a thing,"or else I am about to have a very distressingly chaotic morning tomorrow. Everything should, gods willing, run as expected, though. Quite looking forward to it, and I do hope our guest have an excellent experience."

"I'm certain we shall," Lydia assured him. "You and Miss Vess have always been lovely hosts."

"Well, we certainly do enjoy it," Ignis admitted, though it was hardly a secret, surely. "All the better when our company does as well. But how have you been, Miss Bennet? Rather stunning how quickly the first part of the summer semester has passed us by, isn't it?"
