Continental Breakfast Included
The King and Queen have a great many parlors at their disposal, ranging from the very grand to somewhat very grand.
And then there is this one, which is generally reserved for the use of the family and their closest personal friends. It is a comfortable, sunlit sort of room, where one may find the children's toys and the Amy's embroidery and Perry's carving projects.
It is also where Amy has instructed her staff to lay out a breakfast for her friends this morning. They were all shown back to their rooms for what was left of the night before after their adventures, to at least attempt to get some rest.
Amy herself is a bit busy at the moment catching up on Official Matters: giving reports to the Deputy Captain of the Palace Guard and the Court Historian, seeing to the palace's new ghost (she's settled him in the Northwest tower, which is, she assures him, a perfectly lovely place to haunt), and reassuring her husband that yes, darling, she really is perfectly all right. She'll be along when she can.
In the meantime, everyone is free to make their way into the parlor in their own time. When they arrive, they will likely find company, and definitely find a table laid with everything the kitchens could find to send up: bread and jam and marmalade, cakes and pastries, eggs and bacon and sausages, a giant bowl of fruit, tea and juice and milk.

"It was a bit unreal, wasn't it? But fun, too.
"At least we know we can still be surprised. I'd hate to get used to and expect everything."

"Even having been here before, and I can safely say I hadn't even considered anything like this happening.
"It's a bit like falling down a rabbit hole and somehow landing Grimm's fairy tales."

"Right! But way cool, too."
Now that they're safe from any danger, anyway.

Beat, and then she continues curiously, "The brooms. The flying and all. Is that something you do often?"

He pauses to take a bite of breakfast and swallow it down before going on.
"I used to have to fly a lot when I was on the Quidditch team. For practice, I mean. But now it's just sort of - I mean, I do it more for fun now.
"Did you like it? Uhm, sorry for sweeping you up like that, by the way."

"And I guess I'd say I can see where it could be a lot of fun, in the absence of the collapsing forest.
"Definitely not anything I ever expected to say I had done. Fly on a broom."
