Seamus being Seamus immediately agreed, taking the empty coconut shells with him as Lea turned to Flick. " I spotted them earlier but didn't want to spoil your fun" she teased as she took another sip of her refreshed drink.
[Puzzles]Felicity had been absently stirring her new cocktail with the fruit skewer, watching Seamus approach the the other pair when Leanna spoke. She turned to her, a teasing smile of her own on her lips. "Such a good friend." She tapped her coconut against Lea's in a quick 'cheers', before taking a long drink from the cocktail in preparation for what was to come. "Thankfully, there's more rum."

Her face broke into a delighted smile when Mormor pulled her into an enthusiastic hug, and Felicity returned it with a quick squeeze. "Love the hat, Nora," she told her softly, mindful of it when she pulled back. Felicity's eyes met Xander's as he made himself comfortable in a lounge chair, her smile no less bright as she took him in properly. While Mormor's choice of outfit screamed casual summer chic and would keep her nicely cool, Xander's sweater and uniform combo on the other hand, said

hot." She kept her expression purposely innocent as she fanned herself, whether swooning from the heat or his general appearance, nobody would ever know.
Too easy, she thought, unable then to stop her smile from changing into something with a cheeky edge. Logic might have dictated that she wait until he'd at least agreed to what she was about to ask before she started slagging him off with abandon, but it would seem that she couldn't help herself. Even the fact he'd referred to their invitation as a 'summons' tickled her.
She decided she was just going to get it over with. She'd lay it all out and wouldn't stop or give him a chance to interrupt until it was done. The smile faded a little as she bit down on her bottom lip, thinking through her next words. "So..." She sucked in breath and launched. "Jack invited us to dinner, you and I. Or well, his kids did. To say thanks. I said I'd go and you have to go too, Xander, you can't abandon me. He has six children, Xander.
Six, for crying out loud. And they'll all be there,
at the same time..." Her voice was just above a stage-whisper, and she sounded just a tad horrified at the prospect. She really was doing a bang up job of selling this dinner.
