Summary: Lucia comes to dinner at Lorcan's house. After Min mysteriously shows her pictures of Lorcan's past lovers, she meets Luna and Rolf. Before they actually get to the dinner part of the evening, Lucia receives news of her father's death.
When he'd left that morning, Lorcan had mentioned to Min that he was having company that evening. Min generally kept things tidy, but Lorcan thought she appreciated knowing to expect guests so she could make an extra effort -- vanity, thy name is house. Or possibly Min.
So Lorcan was expecting to find things a little different when he got back from work -- knowing Min, probably something involving warm colours and lots of light. But he wasn't really expecting what he found when he opened the door. The front hall was more than twice as big as usual and three times as tall, and mostly filled with a graceful spiral staircase. In addition to that, Min had filled all the walls of the hall with pictures of family and the occasional friend -- and quite a few of Min herself.
"I didn't know I had this many photos," Lorcan said, bemused. He wandered up the spiral staircase, pausing here and there to look. "I guess Lucia will enjoy these pictures of Luna and Rolf," he admitted to Min. "How did you know?"
There was no reply, but Lorcan felt like Min was projecting smugness that was almost palpable. "Did you start the oven on time?" he asked (which just made Min more smug). He went to check the rest of the house, which didn't have any further surprises -- luckily, because it was almost time to go get Lucia.
"Let Luna and Rolf in if they arrive while I'm gone," Lorcan said before he left the house. Min was in a steep remote valley whose abandoned farmhouse was the only sign that muggles had ever been here; Min, of course, had chosen a spot between the farmhouse and the small stream to settle, and Lorcan spent some time finding the vantage that wasn't too far away, didn't drop him into the stream, and showed Min off to advantage (helped by Min turning as he did so to show off her good side).
Finding a good place, Lorcan took a moment to notice details so he could apparate back, then waved to Min and apparated to Lucia's.
