 In Kent, England lies the residence of the Beckstead Family. The property is five acres and always perfectly manicured. Upon entering into the house you come to the entryway and immediately into the main room. To the back of the house is the kitchen and grand dining room, along with the smaller breakfast nook. In the same area is the lounge. Coming upstairs you see both Emilia's bedroom as well as Alice's bedroom. Just off Emilia's room is her bathroom which is connected to the unused Master b edroom. Just beyond the rooms is another staircase which leads to the attic bedroom.In the basement there is one main room as well as the library and a den. In the backyard there is the outdoor living space and pool. Further back there is the gardens and a playhouse that continues back into the forest.

Notes
-The house is often left empty but is guarded by a number charms making it almost impossible to get into if you are not wanted.

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well You can't tempt me if I don't see the day  ✧Wearing ✧Where I am - Beckstead Estate ✧What I'm doing - Private picninc ✧Who I'm with - Alice ✧Why I'm here - The company Ｅｉｒａ nervously pulled at the bottom hem of her dress wondering why she had allowed Wynne to talk her into this dress in the first place. She liked the color, the fit, and she was always leaned more towards lace than other fabrics but she just wish it were a tad longer. She was still shooting upwards in height now having scraped upwards to five feet six inches and she could still feel lingering growing pains at night. The dress was long enough to not be risque but the fact that it still fell just shy of her knees and that there were no leggings or tights underneath since it was a seasonably warm day. When she had received the invitation for the picnic/tea party she might have seemed a tad too excited and overly enthusiastic so much so that her parents noticed. Well it was either that or the fact that she went more than two hours without picking up a textbook that gave her parents cause enough to ask her about it. They had then traded a look of sorts while her younger sister just squealed and rambled on about what she should wear. Which led her here with her mother this time apparating her to her friend's home saying that she could floo call her when she wanted to return home or if she wanted to stay over, She hadn't really thought of staying over; she didn't really think it a good idea what with her feelings for the younger teen. Eira faltered in her steps towards the door as she thought of Alice in pajamas and had to fight the urge to run from the estates with such a vision in her mind. Well, at least it answered the question of where she had the same hormone levels of teenage girls of her year. Great, just great. She sighed and pinched at her cheeks a little hoping the pain would make her focus on something else as she finished the short trek to the door and knocked.
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
'Cause when I opened my body I breathe in a lie

Well You can't tempt me if I don't see the day ✧Wearing ✧Where I am - Beckstead Estate ✧What I'm doing - Private picninc ✧Who I'm with - Alice ✧Why I'm here - The company Ｅｉｒａ barely got a good enough look at her friend before she sprung upon her in a customary hug. It was quick though and when she pulled back with rosy cheeks she felt her own begin to warm as she took in her appearance. She looked very beautiful in her plaid dress and in the very pit of her stomach she felt a pit of smugness at seeing all the jewelry she'd given her over the years adorning her hands and wrist as well as the tea set basket in her hands. The teen gave her friend a gentle grin somewhat amused that her friends all assume that she had shut herself away studying. They were correct so at least she knew they understood her. "Of course I came, you invited me so it wad definitely no bother. Plus my parents are always complaining that I study too much anyway." she responded with a short shrug. The prospect of going outside to the gardens for their picnic sounded delightful so she nodded and smiled at Alice as she rambled on about the food and drink she had prepared for them finding it utterly adorable but of course she couldn't really say that. "It all sounds wonderful Alice. I'm only sorry I didn't think to bring anything myself and have to mooch off your generosity." Eira told her with a slightly sheepish smile. Not like she knew how to cook, she could've asked one of the house elves to possibly make sandwiches or something. She was pretty sure the extent of her culinary prowess was being able to make tea, peanut butter and jam sandwiches, and oatmeal and she doubted any of that sounded appetizing to her friend. "Would you like help with the basket? It seems rather heavy."

Well You can't tempt me if I don't see the day ✧Wearing ✧Where I am - Beckstead Estate ✧What I'm doing - Private picninc ✧Who I'm with - Alice ✧Why I'm here - The company Ｅｉｒａ very much wanted to tell her friend how pretty she looked when she grinned and blushed like that but she knew that fell way behind the line of friendship and so she hid it deep deep within herself and focused more on what she was saying. Studying being adverse, right. Though the thought of her being dragged by the younger girl anyway sent a shot of thrill into her which she was definitely sure fell behind the line. "You actually sound a lot like my family. My father and Wynne especially. He's worried that I'll become an even worse library recluse during the year and Wynne just believes I'll forget that there's such a thing as life outside my schoolwork if I didn't take such pauses in between. Honestly if I didn't know any better I'd think you and she were working against me in a conspiracy." She gave the brunette a soft grin with a glint in her eye to show the teasing and merriment of her words. Though she was also sure it wasn't above the Hufflepuff that was her little sister to write to her friends in secret to ensure she was dragged out of her "study bubble" as it was dramatically named. She gave another smile as her earlier wish of having added to the picnic was rebuffed feeling another titter in the bottom of her stomach at being served the food Alice had made with her in mind. Though she was happy that she at least accepted her offer to assist with holding the basket. And if her hand accidentally grazed her friend's on the way to taking hold of the handle than it was just that, an accident. A very pleasant accident. "I'm rather saddened we haven't done this before now; your gardens are absolutely gorgeous. But, we're doing it now and that's all that matters." Eira told her as they walked outdoors.

Well You can't tempt me if I don't see the day ✧Wearing ✧Where I am - Beckstead Estate ✧What I'm doing - Private picninc ✧Who I'm with - Alice ✧Why I'm here - The company Ｅｉｒａ frowned as Alice spoke of her not being a recluse and being able to collect friends at whim. She wasn't frowning because of her words (though she was slightly amused so many of her friends saw fit to rebuff her recluse statements) but because of how low and embarrassed she seemed to be because of them, like she couldn't and hadn't made friends of her own on her own."I sincerely doubt that Alice. You very easily made friends with me and I was not a rather...congenial child. Plus Wynne tells me you've made plenty of acquaintances in your year." If her tone became slightly petulant she didn't mean for it but it had been rather enlightening to hear from her hyper little sister about how nice and funny and smart Alice was, like she hadn't already known, and about all the other girls and people they hung out with. Enlightening in the sense that she wasn't the only person who saw the inner light that shown from her friend and that someone else might see it and attempt to steal her away. Not that she was hers to begin with! Ugh, this was all becoming repetitive and tedious and she hated it but she had no idea what to actually do about it. She could admit her feelings, be rejected, and lead them towards an awkward strained relationship where they eventually break away from one another. It was a tragic fate she was striving not to have come into fruition so if that meant she had to endure this merry-go-round of inconsistency then she'd deal with it. But now wasn't the time to think such morbid thoughts, she was in a beautiful location about to enjoy wondrous food from an amazing friend that was what she should be focusing on. At the invitation to come back to study she blinked her blue eyes once and then twice before remembering that propriety mentions she should reply with a gracious thank you. "Thank you, I just might take you up on that offer. I just hope I don't become a bother if I begin to visit so often." she lightly joked.

Despite her longing she was sure it was the former rather than the latter. When they arrived to the set up spot she let her friend take the basket and took another glance around at the scenery. Her earlier observations were vastly underrated; the gardens were more than gorgeous, they were stunning. Alice more so when the golden sun struck her milk chocolate hair streaming golden highlights and making a makeshift halo above her head. She really needed to get this under control before she did something regrettable. Her response to her teasing made things that much harder. The teen quickly took a seat on the blanket placing her hands beneath her thighs so their fidgeting wouldn't have been noticeable. At the offer of tea she greatly took any distraction she could take. "Yes please."
