third complaint ♔ IM

[scornfully]

Right, then!

[ Arthur claps his hands together, addressing the other campers with a charming smile and a pleasant tone. Things have been rough for them all lately - certain siblings more than other (Lydia) - and it's the responsibility of those who can to help lift the spirits of the rest. Charisma and delight is what Aphrodite's children do best, supposedly. ]

Since we all have our memories back - and everyone's returned from the school trip to Egypt - I'd like to propose a little get-together of sorts next Wednesday night.

[ He tucks a lock of blonde hair back behind his ear. ]

Music, nibbles, non-alcoholic drinks ... that sort of thing. I've already enquired and there shouldn't be a problem if we have a chaperone.

[ He waves a hand in a vague gesture - a nymph or a satyr, no trouble at all, right? Besides, they're likely to enjoy the evening as much as the guests. ]

The only catch is that there's a theme: everyone's to wear all-in-one pyjamas. It seems a little too tongue-in-cheek to go toga, after all.

[ His smile flickers into a smirk for just a moment. Oh, Arthur thinks he's so funny. ]

To my brothers and sisters, no excuses. Everyone else, let me know what you think.

[ it takes Margaery a second to stop giggling. The thought of everyone in onesies is pretty amusing. ]

It sounds fun! Count me in. Not that I think I had much of a choice to begin with.

[ Their cabin's participation went without saying, didn't it? ]

[scornfully]

Excellent!

[ Ah, Margaery, the newest addition to the Aphrodite bouquet. Arthur's pleased to see her so keen to get involved - no shying away for this one. ]

I know we can be a little boisterous, but these things are always fun to join in. You already own a onesie, I take it? Or will you be needing to borrow one from Heather.

[unplucked]

Don't worry about me, I'll dig something up.

[ She already has something in mind, even. ]

Do you need any help?
