Kay has never been more than lackadaisical when it comes to housekeeping; she knows perfectly well how to keep a house clean and does, to a certain extent, but some things (dusting in particular) go undone for longer periods of time than would have ever been acceptable in her childhood home. So it is with some nervous energy that she flits around the apartment, straightening what isn't straightened and running a cloth over anything that looks especially neglected. This is, after all, the first time she's had anyone over to the place formally for supper, and for all that she doesn't care most days what it looks like, it matters a bit to her now.

When she's done, the apartment looks as good as it did the day she moved in--or nearly so, anyway--and the card table she's set for dinner, with tablecloth, places, salad, and a water pitcher seems like it'll suit nicely enough. They needn't eat out in the communal dining room, then, nor will they be sitting at the coffee table like a bunch of slobs (read: the way Kay eats, most days). Kay might not be the model housewife of her time, but she knows how to put on a dinner party.

Which leaves her in pedal-pushers and a blouse, holding a dustrag. "I'm going to get dressed," she tells Mildmay. "Can you answer the door if Donatello shows up?"
