It took longer to get out of the flat than Gillette had first suspected, but after leaving Norrington a note on the table and placing Ginger into the commodore's room (so she wouldn't be lonely, honest), he took off towards the Earl's house, moving swiftly through the streets towards building 4. It was a regular day outside; fortunately all that insane weather is over, so Gillette had chosen to wear his lieutenant's outfit, complete with his wig and hat, as was his wont. Truthfully, it was the outfit he felt most comfortable in...

The water had barely been poured into the china when the bergamot began to permeate the air with the sweet citrusy scent. And, truly, it always was a welcome smell inside any residence a Hargreaves inhabited. Alexis smiled a bit to himself as he eyed the tea cabinet - his female servant he had hired, Alicia, held the key to it, but all the same, he was rather tempted to instead break out a fine blend suited to the more brash tastes of Eire. If only to tease the lieutenant that, at present, was heading towards the flat.

He had taken great care to maintain a regal atmosphere, if not an elegance to the drawing room and parlour. The furnishings were, in his terms, a little sparse, but the red curtains, the fine rug, and the winged armchairs seemed suitable enough to placate him. At best, he did so miss the fireplace... Augusta had been left behind, he moodily recalled.

"Alicia, bring the tea out, if you would," he called while lighting his pipe. Curious how pipe tobacco and bergamot intertwined and formed such a toxic, alluring aroma.
