Having gotten a creative streak, Olivier had decided to have the gathering take place in the gardens--they were large enough that a general staging area with chairs, tables, and refreshments could be set up as well as a dance floor, and the guests roam among the beautiful blooms and trees as they conversed. There was an excellent string quartet, one that had come well-recommended and deservedly so.
Olivier waited by the entrance, greeting his guests as they entered, all having to walk under a vined archway.

Laurent had to admit, Olivier could be rather interesting when he was inspired. Laurent himself hadn't had much to do with the arrangements, since he really had no head for these things and likely would have bungled it. Still, he never passed up the opportunity to meet new faces, and he was also here to see if Evelyn put in an appearance.

*And of course she did, dressed in a flowy white gown in a floating material. She had left her hair to curl around her shoulders, and worn only a plain sapphire pendant her parents had given her for her 16th birthday and the matching earrings.*
*It was a beautiful setting, and the music was lovely, floating through the gardens; Evelyn was suited to it. Dark eyes, dark hair, and a pale complexion never failed to look good at night.*

Olivier was...well, stunned, by how lovely Evelyn looked this evening. She seemed to be part of the moonlight herself, an apparition sent to observe the festivities for Artemis.
Snapping out of it, he gave Evelyn a courtly bow.
"Welcome, my lady. I'm glad to see you here."

((LOL olivier waxing poetic))
*She smiled widely and gave a curtsy. A bit boring or no, he was still very sweet and attentive.*
"I'm glad I made it, and without my embarrassing parents."

((He's a hopeless romantic! And probably writes sonnets))
He gave a little laugh.
"And you can shine without having to compete with them."

Laurent, from his spot near the table, eyed Olivier and Evelyn as they talked. As before, Olivier was being a silly schoolboy over the girl.
Evelyn was as lovely as ever. He'd make certain he'd talk to her--there was no way Olivier was going to block him.

"Well, more importantly I don't have to worry about them sneaking off into the hedges for a quickie."
*She smiled demurely.*
"You're too kind."

((*snort*))
"So, if...there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask the host."
In the background, he could see Laurent, and frowned at the way he was eyeing Evelyn.

"I'll be sure." *With that, she made her way off to the refreshment table to pour herself a drink.*

Laurent, seeing the opportunity, subtly made his way over to Evelyn.
"Good evening."

"I trust it's too early in the evening for someone to have spiked the punch?" *She inquired.*

He laughed.
"A bit too early. You might want to come back in a few hours if you want it nice and corrupted."
So saying, he took a drink from his own glass.

"Oh, pity." *She was honestly disgruntled as she poured some punch into her glass. She turned to return to her previous post, but found that Laurent was right in front of her.*

"Sorry about the disappointing punch." He said with a charming smile.
"Welcome to the Desmarais Estate, by the way."
