Gathering: Summer Party

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.

Sirius gave the thought the shudder it deserved and then flung a skinny arm across James' shoulders to better direct them both toward the door. Enough with politely milling about the lawn like they were about to take tea with somebody's nan.

"I fully appreciate the rivalry you've got with the aforementioned grease spot, Prongs, but I think what would make this day even better would be if we didn't mention him again, yeah?"

"That, I think I can oblige," James said, sliding his own arm around Sirius' waist in kind. He had always had an easy affection with Sirius in the physical sense even if their emotional relationship could occasionally be fraught with tension.

Here in the Nexus he could be carefree in a way that England wasn't allowing in the moment. James craved it and craved the respite he got before he jumped back into the war headfirst.
