"Good." Lucy grinned. "Well, I think that's about everything. Unless there's anything else you want to know?"

"This is your tour," Honey pointed out. "Whatever you want to tell us is just fine."

Lucy shrugged. "Well, if you two don't have anything else you need to get to, I could show you one of my favorite places to go."

"I made sure today was open," Honey said. "I didn't know how long we would be here, so we still have lots of time."

"Well then, if you'd like?" Lucy raised her eyebrows at them, leaving it up to them. She thought they'd enjoy it, but she also didn't want to push it on them.

Honey grinned and nodded.

"Sure!" he said. Mori also nodded in agreement.

Lucy nodded, and a minute later a car had pulled around for them. Lucy gave the driver directions and got in first, settling in with an expectant little grin.

Honey and Mori got in after her, settling into the seats.

"So where are we going?" Honey asked.

"You'll see in a few minutes." Lucy grinned. "Hopefully you haven't been here before."

It took them maybe fifteen minutes to get to a small, quiet park. It was open to the public, but almost no one was there, and there was a nice stream, a picnic area, and plenty of shade.

"Oh wow," Honey said as he got out of the car and looked around. "How pretty. Is this your park?"

"Mine? No, it's available to everyone." Lucy grinned. "But not many people seem to know about it, so it's nice and quiet."

"A public park?" Honey asked. "I've never been to a public park before." He grinned.

"Another first, huh?" Lucy grinned. "This one is very nice. Some are not so nice."

"This one is really nice," Honey agreed, nodding. "I like it here."

Mori nodded as well.

"It's peaceful," he said.

"It is. That's part of why I like it," Lucy confided, grinning briefly. She moved over to a bench and settled down there for a bit.

Honey and Mori followed, sitting down with her. Honey kicked his feet a bit once he was settled on the bench. Mori just closed his eyes briefly to savor the peace and quiet.

Lucy let them relax and have the quiet time, enjoying the fact that they could just sit and be quiet. It was very, very nice.

It really was a nice park, Honey had to admit. It was really, really nice for a public place. And hey, even Takashi liked it, that made it even better. Honey sat back and just enjoyed it for a few more moments.

Over the next few weeks, Lucy ended up spending quite a bit of time with Mori and Honey, enjoying their company both in club and out of club. She knew they likely had better things to do but she enjoyed their company too much to stop visiting them.

Likewise, the Hitachiin brothers saw Liz often. Sometimes they talked about designs and ideas and materials and models; sometimes the twins pulled their act on her. Sometimes they just chatted. But the twins found it oddly easy to talk to her. And she wasn't boring.

"I promise you, fascinators will come back into style," Liz said one day as she sat with the twins, a teacup in her hands. "And not those frilly feathery ones, either, it'll be a new twist on them with some organza and spiked studs and maybe geometric shapes."

Honey had taken to bringing extra sweets with him to the club. He always made sure he had some to share with Lucy, even between clients.

"Come and join me!" he said, beaming at her.

"We'll see about that," Hikaru said.

"Although that could be very fun," Kaoru said with a brief grin. "To work with. Especially with the right models."

Lucy grinned briefly and went over to sit with him and Mori. "Good afternoon," she greeted.

"Tall ones," Liz agreed. "Angular features, the idea is to give the impression of precise lines softened by feminine details." She grinned. "Mark my words, it'll happen."

"Good afternoon," Mori greeted.

"Yay, you made it today!" Honey cheered.

"When it happens, we'll let you feature a piece," Hikaru said with a grin. "Based on just what you said."

"Of course," Lucy said with a grin. "Tea time is my favorite part of Wednesday."

"We'll see," Liz said, grinning. "But just think, fascinators will replaces hats for a while in terms of accessories. More in the formal lines than the casual ones, but still."

Honey smiled brightly as the day's sweet was brought out.

"We're always glad when you can show up," he said. He tactfully didn't mention that they had taken to leaving that part of their time open just for her. It wasn't a regular slot, not at all, but Honey made sure there was a little bit of time open for Lucy.

"Those will be fun," Kaoru agreed.

"Although not as fun as feathers." Hikaru's grin was more than a bit mischievous.

Lucy grinned at him. "Flatterer," she teased easily.
