After meeting at Prince Delaunay and Princess Azabel's wedding at the beginning of autumn, I had received a letter from Ciarán wondering if I would join him for lunch. I was more than happy to accept, for Ciarán had turned out to be quite intriguing and had been the only thing saving me from a night of complete boredom.
So I arrived at the Cachette tea house on horseback, giving my mare over to the care of the local stable, and walked in, wondering if he was here yet.

I’d arrived early enough to secure a good table and was keeping my eye out for Sophie. I saw her enter and, with a smile, stood so that she could see me.

I was looking around to see if Ciarán was here yet, and spotted him on my second sweep of the establishment. I headed over with a smile. "Hello Ciarán."

“Hello Sophie,” I said, smiling. “It’s a pleasure to see you again. You look very lovely.”

I smiled, pleased by his compliment. I always had been a sucker for them. "Thank you, you're looking very fine yourself," I replied. "I hope you haven't been waiting long?"

“Just a few moments,” I answered, holding a chair for her. “I wanted to make sure we got a good table.”

"Thank you," I replied, settling into the chair he offered. "Well, from the looks of things it is just lovely."

“Yes, it does seem to be filling up though, so I’m glad we got here when we did,” I said as I took my seat. “I’ve not been here before, have you?”

"No, I haven't been anywhere here," I said with a smile. "At least, that's how I feel. I've managed a couple of outings since our arrival, but not many."

“I may actually have more experience than you then in that area,” I said, smiling. “Part of it helps that I don’t have an older brother here to ask where I’m going.”
A waiter arrived and handed us each a menu of the teas on offer today and the dishes as well before withdrawing while we decided.

I chuckled. It seemed - on the surface level at least - that Ciaran and I understood each other. "So what would you recommend here in the City?" I asked as I looked over the menu.

“Besides the palace this is the nicest place I’ve been too,” I said, chuckling. “I don’t know if you’d be interested in the places I’ve seen.”

“I’ve spent a good bit of time in Night’s Doorstep,” I told her, smiling.

I chuckled. "And you assume I wouldn't be interested in such an area. A safe assumption, even if it's incorrect," I said with a teasing smile.

“Incorrect, eh?” I asked with grin. “Is there a risk taker under that proper exterior?”

"I've spent far more time nursing the common man than any noble," I said with a grin. "And yes."

“Well then, perhaps next time I venture out to dark alleys and loud taverns I shall see if you’d like to join me,” I said, smiling.

I chuckled then. "Are you visits infrequent breaks, or are you a regular visitor in such venues?"

“Rather regular,” I answered. “Not that I’ve been here long enough to do anything very regular.”

Having chosen my tea, I set the menu aside. "What draws you to it?" I inquired. "If it's not too personal a question to ask."

“I can’t stand being bored,” I answered honestly. “There at least there’s always something going on and it’s usually entertaining.” I glanced at the menu one more time and then signaled for to the server we were ready before looking back at Sophie. “The prim and proper tend to be too caught up with appearances to let themselves have much fun.”

"I can only agree most days. But then I run across peers like you," I said with a grin. The server arrived and I ordered a vanilla tea and biscuits.

I ordered the ginger tea and salmon salad on toast squares and the server left us.
“You can’t run across many like me,” I said with a chuckle.

I grinned. "And you can't run across many like me," I replied with a chuckle of my own.

“No, in fact you’re the first you I’ve met,” I replied, chuckling.

"Glad to hear that I don't have a doppelganger skulking around the corner," I teased back with a grin.

“Not that I’ve met anyway,” I said. “That would be an interesting situation, meeting yourself.”

"I don't think I would get along with myself. We would be far too much alike," I replied with a grin.

I laughed deeply at that, admiring her wit. “Yes, I can see that could be a problem,” I agreed with a smile.
