Summer 1 - Welcome dinner

[kollomods]

[ It's the very first dinner on Norrhamn and the kitchen staff (???) has really gone all out. The counter is covered by a variety of the finest cuisine Sweden has to offer — sandwich cakes of every variety, from the classic salmon and shrimp to ham and horse radish or more modern, vegan varieties with avocado and cherry tomatoes. There's a smaller table set out with strawberry and cream cake, and the traditional spread of seven different types of shortbread cookies. Of course there's coffee and tea by the bucketload, along with other drinks such as elderberry or lingonberry squash. The community center has been decorated for the occasion with bunting and strings of lights leading out into the garden. It's still early summer so the nights are mild and surprisingly bright — the sun has yet to fully set by the time the celebrations kick off. Better get used to the light, it's not getting darker anytime soon. ]

Aww, he'd be disappointed if he knew!

As it is, he's sure she means well, but she's just managed to put a damper on his evening from which it's going to take a little while to recover.

He nods in response and tips her a casual salute before turning on his heel with a rather dramatic swirl of his coat.

He'll probably go out into the garden and be aggressively cheerful and flirty with someone.

Or maybe dance with Martha.
