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!

"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?"

"I don't quite get it," she admitted. But then, she really wouldn't.

"Nor do I, but then, you know," Lydia shrugged. "English."

"Is Independence Day weird for you?" She also didn't know the timeline of when all that had happened vs when Lydia was from.
