twenty five

[lionesssejant]

I've never been to quite so many parties before coming to the City. Each one is different from the other. I rather like it.

Though I feel like there should be a balance. I guess the right thing to do would be to read or some other kind of studious thing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I could stand to practice. That would be productive. Kate,

There's a short series of knocks at Susan's door. It isn't too late for invitations is it?

[lionesssejant]

Oh, it is never too late for invitations. Not in this household. Susan promptly opens her bedroom door. "Caspian, hello."

[treadingdawn]

"Hello, Susan." He smiles to her. Caspian smells a bit like the ocean, having just returned from a walk with the doctor who shares a strong resemblance with her brother in his golden age.

"I had a thought, you know. Tomorrow night is the opening for a friend's 'club' and I had promised to be there..."

The word club sounds odd coming from his mouth, he thinks. He prefers the sound of a dance or music hall. It's all the same thing anyway, or so Caspian believes, because he is unfamiliar with the term burlesque.

"Would you like to come too?"

His hair does look as though the wind has had its way with it. And somehow it is always in a fair favoring manner.

"I would love to go with you!" The word club even in cards sounds like a weapon from Caspian, Susan understands what he means. This all means a gathering of some kind. Another to-do. They haven't been tiring yet.

"Which friend of yours?" He had so many.

[lionesscouchant]

Oh, lets go to the library!

[lionesssejant]

We could! There's an idea. I should decide what I'm looking for. Or else we may be stuck there all day. It is very large.

[lionesscouchant]

We can go together! And each bring home a book.

[lionesssejant]

Would you like to go tomorrow? What kind of book are you thinking of, Lu?

[girlwithabow]

Always. I don't know why you even bother to ask.

[lionesssejant]

Because it is the polite thing to do. There is more in life than archery.

[girlwithabow]

True, but you know I'm always ready to practice. It's not such a big deal to just go "Hey Kate, we're going to practice."

[lionesssejant]

In that case, Kate, we are going to practice.

I don't know about Sunday though. Caspian invited me to go with him to Chuck's opening. Have you heard about that?

[reginagloriae]

Huh. There used to be classes.

[lionesssejant]

Do you go to the school?

[reginagloriae]

I used to here and in Japan.

[miss_waldorf]

Do you like them though?

[lionesssejant]

Oh yes, I do like them very much.
