So when she first decided that she would come today to try and make peace with Evie she didn’t think it would involve seeing Kit too. They hadn’t really been sharing the same space since they broke up. Why would they? It’d be weird for them to keep hanging out after they ended how they did. She was over him but that didn’t mean she was completely indifferent. So seeing him sit down next to her was more than a little awkward even if she did her best to not show it. “You were invited, huh?” Lorena pressed her lips together to a smile pausing before adding more. “Fun.” This evening was already more than she bargained for. This wasn’t what she signed up for. “Well before I congratulate I’d like to know what this is about. Please, do share.” 

@kitdonovan​

He had perhaps hoped that when he arrived, the two wouldn’t be there. Either the conversation being exceptionally short or they weren’t able to handle it through entrees. He didn’t know what the end result would be but if they all went out unscathed then that was his hope. Kent glanced between the two and once prompted, lifted his gaze from the menu. It was meant to be shared with Evie and though had already had a celebratory lunch, this seemed to pale in comparison. “Ah, well. The last project I worked on received a Pulitzer for international multimedia,” he answered modestly, thinking that it wasn’t necessarily a conversation piece to share with Lorena. Already he was trying not to match her eyes as he had subscribed and then unsubscribed to her explicit content. 

@hxxll-o​

“A Pulitzer.” She took it upon herself to repeat, her smile widening as she peered back at her older brother and gently patted his arm affectionately, “Which is absolutely FANTASTIC and it’ll definitely earn him a gold star by our parents, lemme tell ya Lorena. It is hard as hell to live in the shadow of someone so fantastic.” Sarcasm aside, she simpered. “I am very proud though,” Evie added. With a quick turn, she scanned the menu one last time and placed it on her lap, peering between them. “Well I’m thinking of crab bisque over salade niçoise, are you two ready? Should we order some wine to celebrate? Maybe a champagne?” @knightlorena​

“That’s part of the issue; the most desperate Initiates have been elevated now – the Morgan twins, Yasmin’s performer – and so they arguably have everything.”

Floraigh had been silently pondering what she would consider offering her compatriot, and she took a few seconds to think about it some more before she answered: “As you say, she has everything. I’m not beyond offering her my vote for her own purposes, if that’s what it takes, and I suppose I can bequeath political policies too. I haven’t thought about it much.”

She hummed to herself and levelled her gaze to match Evie’s, “I suppose the real question is: what would you be willing to give up?”

“Do you have an actual area you have in mind or are you looking over the whole radius of the city? There might be some close to me that are for rent. The route to work is decent though I doubt you would want to be that close.”

One of the bright sides of being back in New York was the people he could see more often. Having Sunday brunch with the family or Saturday golf afternoon with his father was only the price to pay. 

“My choice? And I’m not going to consume fast food like that…that’s only reserved for specific moods.” The only time he had let himself have anything close to McDonalds was when he was drunk or even hungover. Kit raised his glass for Evie to pour the wine into it. “We can have Indian if that’s alright with you.”

“Close to you or close to work? I’m sure I can peel you off of me if I decide to be introverted, but I honestly just want a place that has a lot of natural lighting and... green things. I’m not great at keeping plants alive but they’re nice to look at. Very aesthetic.” She gave him a small nod in agreement and filled his glass halfway. “I can go for some samosas-- there’s a really nice place nearby, do you have a go to dish you’d prefer?” There was a second, a brief pause in time, before Evie peered back at her brother with a genuine look of relief, “I’m... glad you’ll be here now. I hated that you were so far.”

the smile on her face as bo was led into the parlor for tea was genuine, though her eyes were still shuttered and permeated by the weight of everything that had happened already. “thank you for coming to me,” she murmured as she stood to greet him with a perfunctory kiss on the cheek and a loose embrace. “it’s difficult enough to be seen in public as it is right now.”

she waited until she was seated to ask the next question, her lips curving slightly. “how was astrid’s show?” poppy expected to see it in the coming days, though she would be attending in the evening when there was no worry of running into hugo.

He didn’t know what to wear to greet a princess and have tea, but he was pretty sure it didn’t include anything ripped. Unfortunately, jet lag affected him far more than he’d ever care to admit and he found himself silently clutching the corner of his shirt as he gave the guards a silent nod of acknowledgement and brushed past them into the parlor. The greeting was received awkwardly (with a light pat on the small of her back and a carefully poised cheek kiss that may have been a bit too affectionate given how unfamiliar it was to him) before he sat down and stretched his legs beneath the table. “Yeah, it was great. She did awesome, she looked awesome, a LOT of people came. Like-- a massive amount, so you probably wouldn’t wanna be there on the first day anyway,” Bo said dismissively, “Lots of those stupid fancy art types who talk about the shape of brush strokes and how ‘she’s definitely symbolizing the pain of humanity from how she depicted flower pots’. Oh--” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little pin that depicted of one of Astrid’s paintings, ‘the French Riviera’ and another one of Astrid’s face (that he did not, in fact, hand to people on account of Astrid being more embarrassed than proud), “Here. A  gift. How are you doing?”

The first week of being in New York only reminded Kent of why he left the state. The underlining reason was his father and it was only ironic that he was returning because of the job offered by his father. There were surely more people at the office who were worthy of being promoted, but if his father saw potential in him then he would at least amuse him even if he failed. There was still the trouble of trying to balance it. 

A silver lining was he was near other familiar people besides relying on those in capital hill to entertain his time. He would miss drinks with Leah and Jo, but they were busy with the campaign which was understandable. Kit was looking forward to being closer to his sister and Rory.

It was a long day, but he looked forward to seeing Evie that evening. As soon as the door opened he was being ushered in. “I can walk fine without being pulled thank you,” he insisted, sitting down unprompted. She seemed to be invested in the relaxing first. “Wait-I assumed we would be making a list of apartments and perhaps ordering dinner first. And aloe is fine.”

“I was just going to share my phone with the tv and scroll through the listings so we can say yay or nay. Plus, you can do face masks while we pick out what we want for dinner too.” Not that she thought about food but if it was offered, Evie supposed she’d poke at it if she could. She handed the aloe packet to her brother and placed the others away before leaning forwards to grab the bottle of wine she had chilling in an ice bucket. “Dinner is your choice, I don’t mind anything. Preferably nothing too greasy but.. if you’re in the mood for chicken nuggets and assortment of dips again,” She shrugged, “I guess my fatty deposits are screaming for nutrition.”
