If you need any vocabulary, just ask. It's pretty weird but I've written down a bunch of sayings but we probably won't need it," said Simon as he wiggled his eyebrows maniacally just cause he could. Ehehehe. " Grand to see you too," he nodded.
His blue eyes widened when Zander used the word spiffy. Ooh, good 1920's word. He grinned. " See you don't need my help, old sport. You already know your onions," he said, trying to fit into that era. He blinked.  Know your onions? Wow. He didn't understand how someone could have come up with that. He knew that meant that Zander knew his stuff but how on earth did it translate to that?
Merlin.
Anyway. " I'm doing quite well thank you. I'm glad to see you hear. We can stick together," he said with a nod. Yep, Zander was the only one that he knew other than the birthday girl herself and her boyfriend. So he'd meet new people which would be cool.
Before Simon could say another word, an elderly lady came to the door and asked them to come in. She must have been Emmy's grandmother? he assumed. He grinned at her. He loved her accent. It was so warm and nice. " Why thank you, ma'am," he said, trying to sound as American as possible to get into character. The accident didn't work at all. He just sounded Australian still. " Oh and these flowers are for you and the family. My mum insisted on bringing some over," he explained with a kind smile. Hostess gifts were very important. " I'm Simon. Simon Holden," he said with a wide grin.
He brought a notebook with 1920s slang?! Man, Simon was so prepared. First that research stuff he was doing about the winter and now a notebook filled with other research. Is Simon sure he's not an actual Ravenclaw? Because this was a whole lotta research for a snake mhm. Zander felt kind of underprepared after seeing all that Simon had thought through with. "Wow!" Wait lingo. "I mean... Golly, Simon you've thought of EVERYTHING!"
Know your onions O_______o Huh? What did that mean? "... I don't think I know my onions... I don't know any vegetables..." Yeah, he did not go anything near those things. Veggies are gross! Eugh, why have veggies when you could have CHOCOLATE! "Wait Simon... What does 'knowing' your onions even mean?" This called for the handy dandy notebook! Before Zander could respond back to Simon, he saw a woman approaching them! Probably one of Emmylou's family members or something. Wow. Simon was so charming. He really knew how to talk to grown ups. Woah. Zander felt a twinge of embarrassment as he had not come with anything for the family... He was only prepared for Emmy's present. "Hi, I'm um, I'm Zander," he tried to give his best charming smile, but of course he was no match for Simon. Man, Simon why'd you gotta go making him look all bad and stuff. "I'm in the same house and year as Emmylou," he'd try at the charming smile once more. This was hard. Maybe he'd just hide under his fedora or something. That'd save him from this utter embarrassment!

The woman walked down straight down the hallway and would look back every so often to make sure that everyone was keeping up. Emmylou had insisted that they have her party on the back patio near the fire pit and the pool. Just in case they all wanted to go swimming. Louise pushed two large french doors out to reveal the back patio. "You can sit here while I go and see what's taking Emmylou so long." Louise smiled. "There's some sticks, giant marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers for you all to make s'mores." She smiled as she walked back into the house to see what was talking so long. Zander followed the woman who had greeted them at the door. AND WOAAAAAH. The hallway was way prettier than the front of the house- if that was even possible. This place was like straight out of a magazine or something! It was like a Hogwarts x2. O____o They had a pool!? WOAAAAAAH. And a fire pit?! See Zander actually appreciated fire pits now. Especially after having to make one for the groundskeeper. Yeah. Definitely a greater appreciation towards firepits. That's for sure. "Woaaah, than you so much... This place is really pretty."
Pretty was an understatement though.
Zander turned to Simon and gave him a huge wide eyed stare, one that just screamed 'WOW!'
