They are called brownies. [She takes serving dishes out of the cabinet and starts to dish out the brownies, still wearing that devious smile as if she knows something.]
These are a specialty type though. If you eat them, you will inebriated— but without wine.
Yours is the bigger piece. [She comes over with the plates, putting one down in front of him. Looking proud of herself, Eloise takes her own.]
It is a plant, cannabis. I have smoked it with some friends, but I thought you might like this version better for your birthday. I am told only one brownie should work for a few hours. But the batch is yours if you have plans with friends tonight. I am not sure what you might have wished to do.
[ His face clears, and he perks. He's heard of it, of course, and he's certainly partaken since being here thanks to his roommate. But he's never consumed it in this fashion. Reaching out, he picks it up, and takes a comically big bite. ]
Excellent. And no, no plans. [ 'Friends' he has, friends less so. ]
[She snorts when he bites it like that. They're definitely going to get blazed if they intend on going at it like that. She takes a bite herself with a hum. It's chocolate. Of course she likes it. The taste itself isn't too bad, but she doesn't eat it like an animal like some people apparently.]
Mm, I do not know if you wish for your little sister to take you out, but we could see where the night takes us. I know a few places. [Of course the city has its theme to it, so there will be some exposure to it all, but it's not as if she has plans to take him to BDSM club or anything.]
[She's going to get some milk now, after starting to eat more of the brownie. It's got a certain taste to it, but it's rich, and there's a good amount of chocolate.]
Of course. I shall give you a good birthday then. Not that I have any clue what you typically get up to with your friends. [She has an idea now though.]
But I think I can work something out for you to have some proper fun.
[It won't take long for the brownie to kick in anyway.]
I will get dressed. Do you need anything? I know at least one club we can go to. Some of their modern dancing, drinks, other things if you feel like not coming home with me. But it is not-- so on display there like some of the more thematic clubs here. [Though she knows of those places, too.]
[ Wry as he smoothes out his coat with the hand that isn't stained with chocolate, though he's licking the fingers of that hand anyway, looking rather pleased with himself. ]
I defer to your expertise, sister. You've been here far longer than I and surely know the best places to go.
Ugh, maybe I do not wish to know if this is the sort of things you got up to. [She curls her nose up at him teasingly. Although how they got away with such things in their society is astonishing. Surely there were no young ladies from their social circles there. Which was a shame. Why shouldn't they be invited to something like that? Surely young ladies are capable of the same fun, debauchery.]
Alright, alright. The Scratch it is. I will be down in a few minutes. [She is already whisking herself up the stairs to change into a cute, short dress. It does only take a few minutes, and she pins her hair back with another bow, half up as she likes it. She's descending the stairs in twos, feeling just a little more mellow at the moment.]
[ She gets a wink before she disappears up the stairs, arms folded as he waits at the bottom for her near the door. No unmarried ladies attended those parties, but Granville's wife was certainly in attendance.
Ahem.
He hears her coming down the stairs, and his brows nearly reach his forehead with the dress she's in. A very short version of her normal attire, and he only barely just avoids the fatherly you're wearing THAT? And instead offers his arm. ]
[If he even tried to give her the same talk Anthony already has, she would entirely get on her soapbox of women being empowered by different things, and Eloise has been dabbling in different fashions for awhile now. While they all have their touch of regency era, she is also a progressive woman who wishes to be able to try new things and find her own comfort levels. If that is showing more skin, then her brothers must simple deal with it.
But instead he just clears his throat and offers an arm, and she gives him a pleased little smile.]
I ordered us a cab to go downtown. We can wait outside. [She says as she heads out with him and then down the concrete pathway of the apartment complex before coming to the side of the road where the cab greets them soon enough, whisking them away to the Scratch soon enough.]

Of course you do. And I think I’d like to see what the city holds in store this fine day.
