( that works for Steak, as it gives him a few minutes to finish his tea and straighten up anything in his room which is out of place. he may not always be "considerate" or "a gentleman" or "refined", but he does possess the base manners to keep things acceptably tidy for a guest when they visit. (he picked that particular habit up from the servants in his Master Attendant's manor, before and after his wedding, when he'd help them with their cleaning on days the Master and Madame were supposed to entertain.) )
[ Sylvia doesn't make a huge effort to tidy up her appearance; she just slips out of her lounge clothes and into something a little more presentable. She'd try to wear something nicer for Steak's sake but is far too lazy to do so today. Those clothes are probably coming off soon anyway, let's be real.
She gets to his place and knocks on the door, and whenever he answers, she greets him with a smile. ]
[ She knows what's coming next (haha, it's both of them), but while she'd be happy to take the reins, she also...does not know the layout of his house, rip. ]
( as she wishes. there's no hesitation as he takes her hand, leading her to the staircase and up, complete with the kind of small talk that wouldn't seem out of place if they were simply hanging out together.
well. he supposes that, if you look at it the right way, that's really all they're doing. it's just a less conventional thing for friends to do, at least in the world according to Steak. )
How've you been?
( there's just about enough time to ask those questions before they get to his room, at least. )

Hey, you!

( it's true, they will be. and while Steak enjoyed her masquerade outfit — for many reasons — the most enjoyable part is always her.
he offers her a grin in return and steps back to let her into the house before he closes the door. )
My room's upstairs.
( which, unfortunately for them both, means a small trek before they get to enjoy the purpose of this visit, but hey. at least it's private. )
