The boardwalk, Friday evening

Blair didn't have ice to work with this time, but she tried to do what she could with the location she had. Luckily the beach was pretty. Besides, too much gold in the decorations tended to cross the line into tacky.

So she kept the decorations to twinkling gold lights and candles. Most of the linens were a crisp white, with golden napkins and table runners to provide pops of color.

The bulk of the gold went into the food. There were brandied apricots, lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, mango sorbets, small cups of saffron vanilla pudding, miniature stuffed yellow peppers, and any number of foods that followed the theme, along with the pies that Ned had made.

Drinks were mixed, but naturally included Goldschläger, as well as coffee and cocoa decorated with tiny gold letters which said things like "Fandom" or "Goodbye Summer."

Blair had staked out a prime table with a view of the water. She sipped at a passionfruit martini, listened to the music coming out of the various speakers she'd had set up, and looked forward to a night of judging watching the crowd.

She was also going to make sure nobody served those skunks. Clearly they didn't know how to hold their liquor.

"He is not," Helen said firmly. "Though he is, well... if you meet him you'll understand just how odd he is."

"Just don't give him anything with citrus in it," Helen said with a smirk.

". . . To citrus? Like . . . oranges?"

Helen nodded. "And lemon and who knows what else."

"He is very paranoid about it," Helen said. "But it must be very difficult."

"Interesting," Helen said thoughtfully. "Perhaps you could teach me your language? I learn very quickly."

"I would," Helen said. "I'm enjoying the freedom to learn what I wish rather than because I am made to."

Lola nodded. "I don't know if I'm a good teacher, but we can try."

"Well, I know I am a good student," Helen said a little smugly. "I think we will do just fine."
