Lucifer hummed thoughtfully as he had a seat as well, helping himself to a neat little criss-cross applesauce. He raised a hand to wave it dismissively, as if giving the tea set the go-ahead. The pot sprung to life and bounced across the blanket, pausing to fill three cups. In Lucifer's view, Charlie giggled her delight, and was helping herself to a mixed fruit tart.
Charlie may not be there in Octavia's eyes, but those were definitely crumbs manifesting on that place setting, and the tea was dwindling.
The king brought a hand to mask his mouth. "Between you and me? Me neither. Every party I go to is just to kiss my butt and build clout. It's exhausting after a while, but I look like an as-... a jerk if I tell them no."
He gestured out to their spread before he went to plate up the tarte. Wedged apples cooked in caramel nestled atop flaky pastry, and he passed the piece to the Goetia along with the fork. "The smaller, the better, I say! With no ambient chatter or yawn-inducing orchestra set up on a stage, people can actually talk to each other. Without shouting."
