Or a fruit tart instead.

That works well. 

Permalink

Bit of a change of pace.

Permalink

Variety is the spice of life. 

Permalink

Indeed.

Permalink

She grins at Ellie, fond.

And on to presents? 

Permalink

The other best part.

Permalink

Presents! There's also some things for the Potter-Cantas as a pair, mostly for their room. 

Permalink

All very nice. Many thanks.

Permalink

Good. 

This is nice. (Maybe they can have smaller anniversary parties. On the Potter-Cantas' actual anniversary, so it's not colliding with Ellie's birthday.)

Permalink

Pencil it in for next year.

Permalink

She will.

Permalink

Okay.

Permalink

The next few days go well -

And then Fay reports she's found a lead on the Diadem.

Permalink

Are they going after it?

Permalink

She'd like to. This - doesn't seem likely to be an ambush at least. 

Permalink

All right.

When are they leaving?

Permalink

Depends on when is good for everyone, but -

She can do tomorrow.

Permalink

Tomorrow works.

Permalink

It does for everyone else, too.

Permalink

It doesn't sound like the current lead lends itself well to setting up an ambush or anything... And Anathema thinks they should plan to stay together no matter what, even if it trades off against getting the element of surprise - they'll be stronger as a group. 

Permalink

Sticking together is an excellent plan. It will be harder for any individual to be overwhelmed.

Permalink

Fay nods. "In my last fight with the Diadem, he frequently would focus attacks intensely on one person. The more of us there are, the better we can disrupt that - and I doubt we can take him by surprise regardless of how big our groups are."

Permalink

"So we work together, cover for blind spots."

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan to me."
