Everything is in order for Aurelius's arrival. With the brothers having taken up positions in the Inquisition that necessitate more work and Alexandrie now far more often in residence at her paramour's home than her own, she has taken up the work belonging to the lady of the house. If there is a bit of Orlesian influence along with the Tevene in the way the flowers have been chosen and arranged and the manner in which the table is laid, well, she's never been one to avoid indulging herself. It is however, on the whole, a picture perfect and precise setup for a small intimate dinner for a guest of Aurelius's social standing that one wishes to honor.

Once Benedict arrives looking properly dashing she leaves everything in his care, and excuses herself along with Fifi, once she'd finished with her friend—they were cute, and Alexandrie was feeling kindly—to get ready before anyone arrives.

[ooc: for your arrival and preparation threads and anything you'd like to do/discuss before our guest of honor shows up]
