Subject: Lunch and an Introduction
Where: Jacques's office in the Embassy
Who: Jacques Belmon
Warnings: None
Open to: Lucrète Vernet and Léon Belmont

Jacques did not particularly enjoy his work , but since it was in the name of France, he worked at it with all the energy he possessed. He leaned back in his chair, shaking out his cramped hand, to examine the final draft of a letter to the British foreign secretary. The English was finally correct, the handwriting neat, the tone professional and even- good.

He pu the letter to the side to dry, then washed his hands and checked his pocket watch. Almost noon; Lucrète would come soon.

Emilie bit her lip when she caught the slight flinch in Lucrète's face when she said Madame.

"Your English is lovely, Citizeness Vernet." She enthused. "And only a short while here? I hope you intend to stay a bit longer. I hope London will be full up with interesting people, such as yourself and Citizen Belmont, as soon as may be!"

She looked at Citizen Belmont. Her upbringing was making it a bit difficult to not think Monsieur, but she respected people and their wishes.
"I would be most delighted to join you, if it is no trouble. And I promise to not lead you into any disreputable establishments, Citizen Belmont."

Jacques bowed. "It would be a pleasure if you joined us, Miss Ashford."

He was not particularly perceptive when it came to fashion and thus noticed nothing more than the fact that Emilie was wearing gloves. He smiled at little at the last. "I wandered into Vauxhall on my own, Miss Ashford. It was my fault for being in a disreputable area. I trust you to guide us somewhere."

	"Vauxhall?" Lucrète did not know what that was, but it already sounded amusing that Jacques would have found his way there. "Please, Miss Ashford, lead us somewhere pleasant. We are at your disposal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emilie smiled and felt sure that she was welcomed along now.
"Oh! There is a small tea shoppe just a few streets over. We can take my carriage, or walk if you wish, for the day is very fine and the streets we will go over aren't muddy today!"

She was happy to meet new people, and most happy to have a chance to talk to Citizen Belmont again. She looked at Lucrete for a moment, suddenly wondering if she was a love interest for Jacques.
