It looks as if two of Larkhaven's high tables inside and one on the patio, one of Melon Mangrove's tables, and two of Mustard Trim's tables(?) are unoccupied

I've never been in a club before, and to meet an owner at that…he must want something special! But I'm just a humble clerkpony. If he wants me to work at his establishment serving tables or something, I'll have no choice but to turn him down. But he said it's 'one-off,' so maybe I have to deliver something. I don't know what it could be, but I won't look a gift monkey in the mouth.

The booth is not a corner booth, and while squeezing in seven foals is maybe reasonable for a family with five foals, for seven adults, it's not desirable.

They do, however, seem to be willing to hold out a little longer.

Note that the outdoor tables have bench style seats and thus, like the booths, more easily accommodate more than four guests

The couple and the party agree to the movement, the couple preferring the slightly darker lighting inside, and the party finding the cold temperatures to agree with their heavier clothing.
