Thornton & Coombs Dinner Party (Closed)

[jamesthorn]

The table is set with the family's finest china. The candles lit, and doors are open at Thornton Estate this evening. While the estate has seen countless elegant affairs throughout its long history, there's never been one quite like this one. Tonight, the Coombs are coming for dinner as William Thornton's personally invited guests. Despite the recipe for drama, there's still a dinner to be thrown and William has spared no expense for his son's newest girlfriend, Amelie. Fine wine, gourmet breads and cheeses, fruits, and appetizers are laid out in gorgeous displays by the caterer. To be certain that no nosy members of the press learn of tonight's momentary truce, the invitations were hand delivered and the family's private staff are serving.

Promptly, at eight o'clock dinner will be served, but in the meantime, there's plenty of time for mingling...and drama.

OOC: I've always used this particular property for Thornton Estate even though I believe it's more traditionally furnished than the one pictured. However, if you want an idea of the layout, there are plenty of photos and even a movie on the link above, lmao.

William is played by Pierce Brosnan. Obviously he's American in the game. If you wanna talk to William one on one, Rachel and I both have control of that old fart.

"Comfortin'," Davin says with a laugh. Just seeing a familiar, friendly face is enough to relax him a little and he nods, reaching for another glass of champagne. "I'll be fine. I'm just gettin' used t'all this."

He lifts his glass and gestures around the room before taking a sip. "I'm makin' your brother take me out for chili dogs an' milkshakes t'make up for this. I've had dentist appointments less stressful than this first date."

For all he teases, there's fondness in his voice as he speaks of James and his cheeks go a little pink. This is all so unexpected, it's a bit of a whirlwind, but he thinks it will be worth it.

"God what I wouldn't give for a chilli dog." Daniel said, groaning emphatically. "And yeah. That's about the level of dates you can expect from my brother." He said with a smile. "Too many years eating like a cop."

He watched Davin for a minute and then took a breath. "So can we take the mild threat about being good to my brother as read or would you like to do that whole posturing and machismo thing?"

[davin]

"Well, he's in luck if that whole stereotype about cops an' donuts is true," Davin says with a laugh. "I live above a bakery."

Daniel's being overprotective of his big brother makes Davin smile in a soft, fond way and he bites his lip before nodding. "Consider me threatened. An' just so ya know, I've been moonin' over him for awhile now. I don't really know what I'm doin', t'tell ya the truth, but I'll do my very best t'not screw it up."

Daniel nods. Davin is a nice guy. He's normal and sweet and James deserves normal and sweet.

"Well, don't expect him to take subtle hints. He's kinda slow." Daniel teased. "You might want to find a copy of Pretty Woman, too. It's his favourite movie." It wasn't his favourite movie but Daniel was going to sleep with a smile on his face at the idea of his brother sitting through that to please Davin.

"I've kinda realized that," Davin says with a laugh. "We can learn together."

He gives Daniel a skeptical look. "Pretty Woman, huh? Why do I find that a little hard t'believe?"

Daniel shrugged and made a helpless face. "I don't know what to tell you. He just loved that film growing up. I mean, he'd never admit it, but he loves it." He said, oozing sincerity from every pore. "I guess everyone has their one film, you know?"
