Get Well Soon Lou Party [OPEN]

Val had worked hard turning her precious garden into a space suitable for a party. She knew how stressed out and awful Lou must feel right now and she was determined that she would shake her right back into the cheerful voice of reason she normally was. Messages had been sent out to anyone who had any connection to Lou the night she came home from the hospital and Val prayed people would have time to show up.
Every branch and bush in the garden had been strung with fairy lights, the strings hidden so they looked more like floating globes of light. Chairs and tables had been tucked into empty spaces and various snacks and alcohol had been set up on a long table off to the side. She'd taken into consideration the rather... aphrodisiac effect these get-togethers seemed to have and small nooks out of the way of the rest of the party had been set up and thoroughly charmed with privacy charms. More charms sent out an thread of magic to draw anyone who appeared to be looking for privacy towards them.
Sitting herself down in the middle of everything, she spent an hour putting the strongest protection spells she could in a bubble around the party. They wouldn't do anything to keep those who wandered away from the party safe, but hopefully they would keep those in the bubble safe for the duration of the party.
A quick charm on her flowers so they wouldn't be trampled or picked, a call to Lou to ask her to come over, and a shower and an outfit change later, she was ready. Taking a deep breath, she turned on the soft, not too energetic music she'd put together, and flopped down into a chair to wait.

"On a good week? Yes," he says, blushing at the Older Sister inquisition. "I also take in money by catering and offering my baking charms to those who want it."
no subject
"Good. What are your intentions with my sister?"
no subject
"Completely honorable, I assure you," he says. "Currently taking her to dinner and a movie."
no subject
"What movie? And what kind of dinner?" Val folds her arms across her chest. "Are you going to bring her flowers?"
no subject
"Well, she said she liked superhero movies, so I suggested the new X-Men movie," he says, hiding his fidgeting hands behind his back to try and ease his nervousness. "And she said she liked Italian, so I thought we'd try Francesco's, down town."
"And I was going to ask you what her favorite flowers were, as a matter of fact. As well as her favorite kind of chocolate."

"I'm sorry! We're very protective of each other."

"You look lovely," he hastens to adds, because it's true. "I love the cat dress."
no subject
Riley blushes as she laughs. "Thank you. I wore it to make my sister mad because she makes me wear dresses to these things, but she likes it. You look nice and handsome."
no subject
"Your sister has good taste," he teases with a grin and a chuckle. "It really suits your personality."
"Thank you," he says, looking down at his outfit of tan trousers and olive dress shirt. "I wanted to look nice, the handsome is definitely a bonus."
no subject
"I saw you brought food with you. Thanks. Val was killing herself to make this whole thing perfect. You really helped with that."
no subject
"Oh, it's never a problem to bake, especially for such a good cause," he nods to the banner for Lou. "I'm glad everyone likes the food."
no subject
Riley looks back at the banner and smiles. "I'm sure she'll love them."
no subject
"I hope so," he says with a grin. "Oh, and I meant to ask this earlier, but what night works best for you?"
no subject
"Oh, right." Riley feels her face burn again at the mention of their date. "I'm free for the next several nights, actually. Then I have a shift at Watersong."
no subject
"Oh, you work at Watersong too? I didn't know that," he says. "Um. I'm available whenever. I don't typically have much of an exciting night life beyond staying in with my cat," he admits.

She nods. "7:30. I'll be ready."
