Chapter 2: Wax

Mio awoke with a start to an envelope dangling above her face. Then screamed. Ritsu should have known better, and unsurprisingly, she did. But it was just too delicious for her to tease her raven-headed scaredycat.
"An invitation!"
"Yep" responded Ritsu, panting and wiping sweat from her brow.
"Who's it from?"
"No idea, but whoever it is has a lot of money, a scary amount of money"
"Yui?" queried the be-bed-bound Mio.
"Noo…., not unless she's picked up a taste for the theatrical, look at it! -"
Ritsu handed Mio the bi-folded sheet of fine parchment,
"- And it was handed to me by a man in a butlers suit *pant* just I as was coming in from my run."
"Hmm, no address."
Mio examining the exterior of the letter, running her calloused fingers over the purple wax seal. She drew Ritsu's attention to it.
"Mugi." They deadpanned in unison.
