[ With the newly arrived Summoned quickly popping out of the desert like cactuses, an invitation is quickly dispatched to Summoned new and old alike. And while the invitation is all text much to Hilda's dismay, she's drafted up a couple of handmade copies in stunning calligraphy that she's thumbtacked to Sam's door for distribution to those that might miss her message otherwise.

And why yes, this was supposed to be an informal invitation but it's Hilda. Nothing she does is informal. But mostly it was to mess with Sam. ]

[ And then before the script fades away - she adds: ]

It's only common sense if I'm being honest.

I believe the phrase is newer, but not new. Caitlyn Kiramman, it's a pleasure, Hilda.

[Which Hilda is likely a familiar name to her, but she's not about tp presume.]

[ Hilda is all for bolstering others, but also has no shame throwing a little bit of flirting in here and there. ]

[preferscuffs]

That would be me, yes. Sylvain was one of the first people I met here. Claude as well. So it's good to finally meet you, even if it's just like this.

[There's a delay, because Caitlyn always shorts out a bit at compliments like this. She's not used to them.]

Thank you? I can't say I've given my legs much thought before.

I'm looking forward to it.

I suppose I should be broadening my wardrobe from the few basics I've purchased so far. I haven't given much thought to shopping. If it's no trouble?

[New goal unlocked, be the same height as Jayce.]

It's already apparent that you have more of an eye for this sort of thing than I do. So I consider myself in good hands already.

Perhaps another time? One where we can have Tea and truly enjoy ourselves. I wouldn't want to rush things.

[Because if there's one thing Caitlyn knows, it's that apparently people from their world enjoy tea as much as she does. Perhaps more than she does even, if that's possible. So of course there must be Tea.]

[ If Hilda were lying on her bed, she'd kick her feet up in the air like an excited little girl. Instead, there's definitely some sort of squeal on the other end that, thankfully for Caitlyn, doesn't get translated into text. ]

Piltover, presumably.

[Caitlyn, as Hilda will probably learn very quickly, is oblivious to things like flirting. Only if it's super blatant and in her face will she catch on. Otherwise it's just 'aw, aren't they nice?']

You'll have to let me know a time that's good for you. Now that Viktor is recovering, I've a lot more free time.
