Who: Claire & Jamie Fraser, Bree Randall, Steve Rogers, Juliet O'Hara
Where: The Fraser Residence
When: 4-5
Rating: D for dinner party??? It shouldn't get that crazy.
Summary: Jamie and Claire host a dinner date.
The Story:

When Juliet and Steve arrive, they'll be ushered into Jamie and Claire's room that magically looks as close to Lallybroch (minus the second story) as she and Jamie could get it. There's electricity of course, but they rarely use it save in the bathroom and in Brianna's connected room. Introductions are made before Claire leads everyone to the dining room.

She doesn't cook, not well save for a few things, so the supper this evening - pot roast with potatoes and carrots, dinner rolls, a salad and good wine (and whisky) - is all Wonderland provided but homey and comforting.

After supper is done, Claire serves dessert in the parlor (a pound cake with light lemon frosting and coffee or tea--or more whisky) and they mingle and talk, sometimes as a group, and sometimes in smaller one-on-one conversations.

"That must have been nice," she says, offering him a comforting smile. "My family has always been really close. I miss them a lot."

It's incredibly difficult being away from all of them, but talking about home is a comfort for her. With all of Wonderland's craziness, thinking about it helps her remember that her real life is waiting for her, and that it isn't just a dream.

"I live in Santa Barbara, California. It didn't really exist in your time, though, at least nothing like the way I know it." Sometimes talking to someone from the past was like talking to someone from another planet. At least Steve has lived long enough in more modern times to follow the things she says. "It's a city, but sometimes it feels like a small town. It's a really beautiful place. My home is nothing like an estate, though. I'm just a renter."
