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.

Athos' life is filled up with regret, but he does not make mention of this to her. She did not ask for such explanations. "I find that in the morning, it is not regret I often find myself mired in so much as the pain of the night before. One must pay for his sins, though," he says, knowing that better than anyone, given the sins of his past.

"So you'll take the pain as your due, huh?" Chiana asks thoughtfully. Going ten drinks too far's always made her regret those ten extra drinks - but maybe that was mostly due to Nerri's teasing. He never indulged in too much of anything, but in just enough, it seemed to her. Le 2 août 2014 21:37, "armedagainstlove - DW Comment" < dw_null@dreamwidth.org> a écrit :
