((Blakeneys, Azirabert, Hallie, Christian, etc.))
*Micaela smiled at the tea setup underneath the chestnut tree. The table had been spared from the wedding preparations and was set neatly (Micaela had watched the maid to make sure she set it properly); the weather was perfect for sitting under the tree. It was twilight after a warm, sunny day, so there was plenty of night but they'd be able to host some of the more... nocturnal guests. The scones, buns, finger-sandwiches and various pastries were provided, as well as three different kinds of tea. Liam had snuck one of the pastries but Micaela had patted his head indulgently and let him scamper off to play with Jasper and Finn.*
*Now she just waited for her tea guests to arrive.*

*A little girl with chubby cheeks and riotous red curls looked longingly at the cakes and bonbons laid out on the tables, crouching behind a tree. Her green dress was plain and streaked with dirt, her sturdy brown shoes and rough wool stockings knitted and darned by her mother abandoned, crumpled in a heap beside her.*

*Micaela heard the girl behind the tree and knew that it was Kathy's eldest, Sorcha once she glanced absently in that direction. Liam hissed at her from behind another tree.*
"Psst. Sorcha." *He stage-whispered, waving her over.*

*Sorcha grabbed her shoes by their laces and dashed over.*
"What?"

*Rebecca and Vianne wandered into the garden.*
"Oh, it's beautiful," *said Becca appreciatively, smiling at Micaela.*

*Christian strolled up, hands in his pockets, wearing something more akin to his old wardrobe back when he used to live at the opera house. He waved enthusiastically to Micaela when he caught sight of her*

*He joined Micaela, moving at a leasurely pace*
"I like this set-up you have here."

Hallie walked over to the table and took a seat. "Yo," she greeted Micaela. Suddenly she noticed Christian next to her and she smiled.
"Hi, I'm Hallie. What's your name?"

"Hey, there. Name's Christian. I'm guessing you're another friend of Micaela's?"
*He glanced in Micaela's direction before turning his gaze back to Hallie*
"One she hasn't told me about." He said loudly.

Hallie grinned. "Oh, I'm nothing special. Just a very old friend."

"Quiet you." *She directed at Christian, bapping him across the back of the head.* "Had you done Les Mis when you were supposed to then you would have met her."
*She plopped herself gracefully as possible into a chair.*

"Circumstances made it so I couldn't go, even though I wanted to. Doesn't excuse you for not telling me about her."
*He stuck his tongue out*

((I know no one has posted in here for five days, but it'll do if I want to get Jess any plot in Manderley.))
Jess walked quickly in to the yard with a warm, but concerned smile. She had planned on taking a nap with Bruce after arriving. But she couldn't sleep, not with the vision on her mind.
She tried to not to believe her vision to be the literal translation of the future, they never were. But it had been so vibrant, so solid, it was hard no to. It could have been a false vision, that's gotta be it, just from being tired, yea... But that didn't even work.
She hadn't had a vision in over a year, it would be nearly impossible that after that long, that it'd be a false one. She strode up next to Micaela with a smile "C-Can I talk to you for a second" she looked across the table, smiling in recognition toward Hallie, and in good manners toward the others "in private?"

*Micaela nodded, looking concerned.*
"Of course; just a minute, everyone." *She said to the guests, and motioned Jess over onto the patio, out of earshot of the chestnut tree.*
"What's wrong?"
