Eames isn't super keen on the idea of having these two over if he's completely honest, but it'll be fine. Lancelot is nice enough at least, and he has excellent dogs.

He's put out the dining table, the kitchen is spacious enough for it, and the door to the garden is slightly ajar for Boxer to go in and out as he pleases. (The door to the hallway, however, is staying closed. Just in case someone decides to be a messy boy.)

There's a fancy little appetiser ready to go (stuffed mushrooms and an onion soup,) and some fancy lamb chops that Eames will deal with when the time seems right. Bottles of red wine and a case of beer. Eames is trying to straddle the casual-formal boundary with this whole thing, like a casual hangout with fancy food and clothes.

Though honestly he'd be happy enough just using the nook by the windows.
