Gathering: Summer Party

[concierge]

Outside of the Nexus Hotel, waiters and hotel staff had begun to set up the umbrellas and the tables in the middle of the day. Soon, it became clear that something was happening in the shadow of the Nexus. White tablecloths were draped on the tables and drinks and food were brought out with the help of several waiters and servers, staffing tables with hot and cold foods beside bartending stations. Summery drinks in bright, neon colors are laid out one by one and soon, the afternoon light casts a radiant look on the scene.

Music plays faintly in the background and a note at the front desk invites all the Nexus guests to head outside and join in on the summer party, which promises to continue going as long as there are people to stay and continue keeping the warm atmosphere rolling.

On the lawn, social games had been set out -- lawn bowling, croquet, and tables were set up with chairs for anyone who didn't quite have the will or the spirit to get into such games. Soon, a small number of people had begun to mill around, but as with all parties, there's always room for more.

"My god, you'll be an Eames yet," he scoffs, but there's hints of pleasure in the way his lips curve upwards. He shakes his head, thinking that there must be something about this that ought to scare him, but he can't put his finger upon it. "Tell me," he says. "how shall I distract you from such lofty goals?"

"I hope that's not how you plan to propose, should we come to that," Arthur says. Though he's extracted himself from Eames' grip, his hands swing a little, free and inviting.

"You'll think of something. You always do."
