Hey so, tomorrow is sort of my birthday.

Actually, it would all on the equivalent of the 29th, but that's not happening here, now is it? I'm going to be twenty-three ish.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would like to join me for dinner. It'll be at the White Rabbit. I'll have everything all set up.

There will be cake and ice cream... as well as other stuff.

So, yeah.

At the White Rabbit, Alec has gotten a private room and spent the time setting it up in proper fashion. The table spread is fantastic, at least in his opinion. There's fish and lamb dishes, cooked vegetables in sauces, salads, bread rolls, butter, honey and cheese. He's gotten several bottles of wine, ale and some other random drinks that seemed interesting at the time and there's a huge platter of honey cookies and candies.

It looks all very yummy.

On a table near the entrance are a bunch of 'fairy trifles' as he would call them. Little things that don't really do anything but are kind of neat. Rather like those dipping head things that keep on dipping forever. They're party favors that he's scrounged up.

While waiting hopefully for people he's sitting in a chair and slowly making his way through a book on griffin riders.

"It's hard to miss what you don't know exists." They never developed ice cream on his world. "And yourself is just fine and welcomed."

[watsonyourmind]

"That's a point, I guess," she answers. "What are you reading?" She leans down with interest to look at the cover of his book.

[element_wizard]

"Oh, it's a book about the history of griffin riders on this one world I found." He shows her the book.

It has notes scribbled in the margins in a non-English - not Earth- alphabet and the look of someone who uses a pencil to keep track of where they are on the page.

"Are you notating it, or was that the last reader?" What an interesting script. Sometimes she wished she had taken some kind of foreign language. Then maybe she'd recognize it. It certainly didn't look like a Romance language, if nothing else.

[element_wizard]

"I am. It helps me keep things straight." Alec has trouble reading.

It certainly wasn't any Romance language. It was an entirely alien language, which people sometimes forget Alec is.

Jane is certainly one of those people. He looks human enough that she forgets that he's not really.

"Looks fun," she says. "So... you don't mind if I go check out the food, do you? I came from work and I'm famished."

[element_wizard]

"Knock yourself out! It's there to be eaten," he says. "I was going to have soup, but decided against it... but the lamb is good as is the fish."

[watsonyourmind]

"My vote is lamb," she says, picking up a plate and starting to poke through the food. "I had too many fish Fridays growing up. Never got a taste for it."

There's a quick frown as Alec runs over his knowledge of religions. "Catholic?" he hazards.

[watsonyourmind]

She smiles. "Yep. You must have spent a lot of time on Earth, you seem pretty familiar."

[element_wizard]

"I have. Or around a lot of time around people from Earth." He gives her a friendly grin. "You guys get around like roaches."

[watsonyourmind]

"Hey," she says, but she grins back. She can tell he doesn't mean it. "We like to call it our natural persistence."

[element_wizard]

"There are humans on my world even... but as far as I know they're not from Earth," His mun people's history is a bit hazy on that subject.
