WHO: Thalia, Saint Patrick, Clio, Will Stutely WHEN: Sunday night WHERE: Clio's brownstone WHAT: Dinner announcements WARNINGS: NA
Patrick and Thalia had arranged to have dinner with Clio and Will at Clio's brownstone. Patrick was excited because he wanted to tell Clio about Lyra before he told everyone else (aside from his family who already knew). Mostly because he had shared guardianship of Mairead with Clio, and he was a kind of parental figure for Ella and he wanted to reassure Clio he wasn't going to abandon them just because Lyra had come along.
Also he figured Clio would be super excited and he wanted to tell her in person so they could be excited together.
He was carrying a Greek salad in a fancy bowl, as he and Thalia stepped up to the door. "You'll have to knock!" he said cheerfully. "You have the wine?!"
