Ms. Haught, I had no idea it was her birthday.

( she contracted the woman but she didn't get personal )

I'll certainly be there. Is there anything I should bring?

[haughtie]

( ah shit, should she have been more formal? too late now. )

Nicole is fine, really.

Just yourself. We're taking care of everything. Please feel free to bring a plus one, though, if you'd like.

[sathan]

( a plus one? who has one of-- )

Nicole, then. ( she's an old lady, let her be formal. ish ) And it will be nice to formally meet you after all Waverly's said.

[haughtie]

What would you prefer I call you? Suddenly using your given name feels very presumptuous.

Oh, boy. Waverly might have talked me up a little bit.

Mary's fine. And I'm certain that she hasn't, though I would like to see that for myself. And no doubt there are things for you that I could answer.

[haughtie]

( WHAT WERE YOUR INTENTIONS BUYING MY PERFECT ANGEL OF A GIRLFRIEND AT AN AUCTION AND THEN MOVING IN WITH HER, MADAM?

She doesn't ask that, but she thinks it really intensely. )

I'm sure I can come up with something. And I'll try practice some juggling tricks to live up to expectations.

( which she hopes Mary recognises for the joke it is, because she doesn't actually think Mary would be so easily entertained )

[sathan]

Perhaps then you'll indulge me. There's a tea house not too far from the building. 3pm?

[haughtie]

Sure, sounds great. I'll see you then.
