Over Easy, Saturday

[carbsliftthespirit]

Was Raiden a little bit nervous about his brothers seeing his new restaurant for the first time? Honestly, yes, even though one of them had done most of the interior design and the other two could not care less about interior design. Look, nerves didn't have to make sense.

At least he knew the food would be good.

With Lydia's guests and her brothers in town, there was no way Arden was going to miss out on brunch at Ray's.

"Hey," she said, giving Raiden a smile. "Everything smells great! Is Gray here? Or still back at your apartment?"

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Arden, hey!" Raiden greeted her. "He's over there with--well, with Castor and Galen. Bellamy says he'll be here in a minute. Apparently he bagged the king of Atlantis or something last night."

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

"The guy with the great muscles and the little wings on his ankles?"

What? ARDEN HAD NOTICED THERE WERE A LOT OF HOT GUESTS THIS YEAR, OKAY?

[witchoftheflesh]

Given that his mother was actually at the house this morning, Adrian had suggested that they go out for brunch. Muriel always liked seeing new things, Agatha quite enjoyed brunch as a concept, and Lydia didn't want to help cook, so this was quickly agreed upon by the four of them.

"Hi, Raiden," Adrian said, as four people in black with witch hats came strolling in the door. "How are you this weekend? Any guests?"

You know, like your ridiculously hot brothers?

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Adrian, hey! They're over there," he said, indicating his brothers' table. "Well, except Bellamy. He's...supposed to be along soon."

[oldwifeoftheflesh]

"Oh!" Agatha said with a pleased smile. "Bellamy is here? How delightful."

Lydia sighed. Loudly.

"Oh, don't be like that, Lydia," Agatha chided. "His nighttime eyes are lovely."

Once Rey and BB-8 arrived and had finished talking to Raiden, she looked around for Adrian and gave a little wave when she spotted him.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had gotten an invite, so she made her way over, holding the door open for BB-8 so he could roll in ahead of her.

"Stop there," she told him, and he did. "We should say hi to Raiden first."

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Rey, hi! Who's your friend?" And what did he eat?

[stykera]

Rey, and her adorable droid companion, got a little wave from Stark when he spotted her.

And if that wasn't enough of my guests in particular, the door opened again to show in four more people.

"Is Liliana really not coming?" Chandra asked, looking crestfallen. "What about Iggy?"

[mtggarystu]

"No," Jace said. "Lili has office hours. For her teaching." That remained very weird to say.

"And Ignis?" Gideon asked.

"Err...I didn't ask." Because Ignis had some weird alarm in his head that went off the first time Jace had tried to read him and he didn't want to trigger that again.

"Hi! Welcome to Over Easy!" Raiden greeted the strangers. "Are you familiar with brunch?" It never hurt to check, especially not when they were dressed like that.

[mustbeawitch]

"Do you know, I don't know why they're called that," Lydia was saying as she entered the restaurant with her guests, Wickham with a lady on each arm. "Oh, Mr. Raiden, good morning!"

[carbsliftthespirit]

"Good morning, Miss Bennet," Raiden greeted her. "Miss Bennet's friends. Why what's called what?"

[oldwifeofthesoul]

Muriel's head snapped up when (this) Lydia entered, her attention first focusing on her and then going distant. Without a word, she pushed her chair out and walked over to her.

"You don't want to ignore it. You want to want to ignore it. So dodge and run and hide and deny all you'd like, when the time comes, you will still stand."

Arden hopped up from her brothers' table when she saw Lydia, Miss Lambe, and Wickham enter the dining room and choose a table.

"Oh, you came!" she said, giving them a grin. "I'm excited to see what you think!"

[thecursedsons]

"Sorry I'm late," Bellamy said as he slid into an empty seat at the table his brothers had commandeered.

"We ate without you," Galen told him.

"Gray didn't," Castor pointed out.

"Gray was asleep."

"And Arden just got here a few minutes ago."

Galen scowled. "Some of us ate without you."

[oldwifeoftheflesh]

At some point during the meal, Agatha looked up from where she was chatting and spotted Bellamy. She waved, more a little finger waggle than anything else, and offered him a smile before her attention was once again snagged by something Adrian said.

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

"Okay, but I would have at least started without you," Arden teased. "But that's half in self-defense, or Gray would have claimed my waffles when he woke up."

Was going out for lavish food Jon's kind of thing? Not even remotely. But everybody seemed to like Raiden's food, and he was feeling a bit homesick, so he was hoping for a full English breakfast. (It would probably make at least three meals anyway.)

[carbsliftthespirit]

While a full English was not technically on the menu, that wasn't to say Raiden couldn't make it happen. "Jon, right? Welcome to Over Easy!"

[mtggarystu]

Jace made it a habit to scan the minds of the people he was surrounded by. It was just a security precaution, okay? And he was already a little uneasy with the sheer amount of power (Powers?) in the room.

So, even if he hadn't already had a brief spat with Jon yesterday, he still probably would have read his mind. But at least now, he had some thin veneer of an excuse?

Brunch was something Chiana had learned about the first time she'd been on Earth and hadn't had much opportunity for experiencing since.

She was all in.

"Rygel's gonna be jealous. He loved brunch." Rygel would. "All right, Stark, what're you buying me?"

Was the gorgeous hunk of meat running the place an option?

[carbsliftthespirit]

Sorry, Chiana, the hunk of meat was gay. One of his brothers was available, though.

"Hi!" Raiden greeted them. "Welcome to Over Easy!"
