"Trying to get a tour of the family castle?" Aldric smirked at the mention of his deep pockets and lolled his head in her direction, smiling smoothly. "All you had to do was ask, but the gin does help pad your case." Great Uncle Gustav would be tickled pink about the visit, anyway.

Following her as she turns to survey her brilliant party, Aldric let his gaze sweep the room, settling easily against the bar with his arms crossed loosely over his chest, quietly enjoying himself.

"What about you? A turnout like this has got to have you moving up in the world. Am I going to see you at the next big garden party?" He wished. Now that he was older Aldric went to those kinds of things only when he'd been unlucky enough to cross paths with one of his parents and they had made him, all while asking him why he didn't have a wife yet to get him to agree faster. They knew he didn't like talking to them, and while once they might have been a time those fences could be mended, now they leveraged how much he loathed dealing with them like a bargaining chip. Company like Mae's at that sort of thing would have been a very refreshing change.

"Assuming I'll ever be invited," she points out with an easy smile, one that betrays nothing. "You know daddy dearest is loathe to actually see us out in polite society."

Her father, the absolute cunt of a man, a pureblood wizard who married a muggle and produced two offspring with her before deciding that a mixed family was all too much for him to deal with, and high tailed it out of Exeter faster than you could say obliviate. She knows he never thought his children would be magical as well, because when Mae had marched into his manor age 14 and told him who she was, he'd looked as stunned as his perfect second wife.

He has done nothing for her and Jamie than give them hush money, to stay out of his way, to let him climb back into the social graces of wizarding aristocracy, to let him deny them, ignore them.

Well, this is where Mae's money went. A gaudy, loud club that will draw his attention and make him have a perpetual headache. Forever and ever amen. "But if it's impolite society, I might come."
