Vivikia strolled merrily thru Diagon Alley, she'd enjoyed Christmas and New Years all the balls she attended with her new fiance in tow who himself despite his age was in merry spirts as well they danced and danced the evenings away. All her thoughts of school and other concerns vanished. Vivikia pulled open the door to the cafe a welcoming beacon to her, she needed a break from all her shopping today but she didn't go shopping alone today she never shopped alone.
Today Archbald had joined her for the first half of her shopping trip before he regrettably had to depart before he did so Vivikia told him where to meet her so they could get some refreshment and meet back up for the journey home. She and Archbald had dinner plans tonight Vivikia needed as many hours as possible to get ready. The bells above the door jingled and Vivikia scanned the room to find the perfect table and when she found it her heels clicked rhythmical as she made her and took a seat she took out her wand and with a simple swish unshrank her purchases to make sure everything was present, she would order when Archbald arrived. Vivikia had finally set the date for the wedding over the holidays on the first day back home she had much discussion with her mother about it pleased her mother greatly she had been worried that perhaps Vivikia might get distracted just one of the many simple motherly worries. May twenty-third and the next morning she would be Mrs. Archbald Worthington.

[glow=red,2,300]Archbald was a distinguished sight to behold all snug and warm wrapped in his jacket and scarf with his derby hat atop his head also keeping it warm of course he removed it immediately in greeting to the presence of some ladies he who knew him. His demeanor and personality betrayed his age, Archbald had no intention of changing it or slowing down if he could help it. He walked in step with his cane gracefully a little bit faster but not too fast,no one could blame him for his reason why Vivikia was beautiful and everything a man his age would be eager to rush to back to even if just apart for such a short time. Yes it was now known to everyone he and his beloved knew that very soon they were to be married.
Having a second chance at marriage Archbald could do things differently this time be around more than he was before in his younger time it was being abroad and business first he could only manage a short bit of time for his wife but she accepted never complained. Perhaps even he might get one more child if he was so fortunate and maybe more if his Vivikia demanded so but she must stay beautiful he knew she preferred it.
Once he was at the Cafe he opened the door with one hand and entered, with his Vivikia in sight he made his way to the table. Vivikia appeared to perusing her purchases as the were all before her on the table apparently she had heard his footsteps as her eyes met his she smiled delightfully at him as well, "Is everything as it should be dear?" Archbald as politely a mistake just wouldn't do.[/glow]

"Yes everything is order, Just a moment.." Vivikia took her wand with another quick swish her purchases went back to their former very small size and placed back in her pocket. She removed her jacket to her lovely designer ensemble she wore it displayed all the best features about her without looking cheap and skanky.
She patted the seat next to her it was time that she got closer to Archbald she would try not to be too slow about it. She had been hoping that she could sneak a peek at the lingerie catalog before Archbald had arrived she had never really gotten to it, wasn't that she couldn't she convinced herself it was just that there were other matters. Her brother Augusti was the closest to her but he was a man and he was her brother most importantly she couldn't go over something like that with him. Vivikia's mother was the best candidate but Vivikia was not able to see her much because of school. She didn't care about anyones opinions she was going thru with this some way some how she was going to secure her future and make her parents proud no matter what it took. Her attentions needed to be on Archbald and Archbald only.

Archbald took notice of how Vivikia patted the seat beside her, it was proof enough for now to him that she was trying to be closer to him to show him attention but she would have to far more to ultimately without a doubt convince Archbald of her loyalty. He would test her more for sure but for now her show would suffice.
Archbald smiled dashingly "I shall back momentarily, I will get us refreshments an earle gray for myself and some coffee for you to give you an energy boost for some more dancing tonight. I'm a bit too old to have so much caffeine, you however are proving a very similar subsitute. Vivikia was the youngest of both and naturally most around would expect her to do such a task but Arcbald had his pride, he was still alive mobile and undeniable still a man.
Archbald strolled to his destination spoke his choice of drink for Vivikia and himself and was informed that the drinks would be brought to his table. As he walked back to Vivikia he recalled meeting the snivilling whining brat that he previously been promised to Vivikia, his spiraling out of control was his own doing Arcbald felt he knew the parents very well but felt hardly any pity for their outcome. It was a father's only option left with a son such as Broderick Mendenhall had become or so he felt others only thought it was a rumor that the father had arranged the whole thing. There was something to be said about Auguste Hidlegrad though, he was tightly woven together with his only sister his bride-to-be and Archbald felt with assurance that Auguste wouldn't stand for the dead brat if he could find a better way to be totally rid of him not just for his own reasons but for his sister as well.
It was time he turned his mind away for such things for now as he neared the table and took his seat beside Vivikia meet the glances of everyone and at least to turn his gaze downward into the shining bright eyes and smiling face of his beloved.
