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!

Well, Liliana could hardly complain about someone wearing the hell out of one color, and black was hardly the worst color one could choose. (That would be orange, or certain, more neon, shades of green.) And if you tossed your hair and called it a signature, then people had less to complain about.

"Rey, darling, don't you look lovely. That's a good neckline for you. I think you'd also do well with a keyhole, or a sweetheart, darling, if you're thinking of diversifying your wardrobe a little."

(Hint, hint.)

"I'm thinking about it," she said. Seriously, it was very obvious the last few weeks that she needed it. "A little."

"Well, darling, should you be interested, but don't want to limited to the offerings nearby, I know of several reputable places to ship on this plane alone that will leave you with clothing that's less inclined to the multiple failings that I've noticed most Earth garment fall prey to."

You know, little benefits, like durable fabrics. Seam allowances. Pockets.

"I might have to take you up on that," Rey said. It never hurt to look!
