Paris anyone?
Eli Paravich knows little of the Valentine's Day holiday; if one asked him, his idea sprung from a conversation he'd had with Luna over the phone the other day. He sat in Iason's Penthouse (as Eli couldn't yet think to call it his own) sketching a design for a dress that he thought Vernique would look good in when his thoughts turned to Luna and her trip with Aine through Europe.

Luna mentioned that she hadn't finished that trip and Eli had been curious about their destinations. Then it came to him.

"I will ask Luna to take me through her trip." Eli says, standing and going to the shower to get read. Forty-five minutes later, Eli readies himself to call Luna...and realizes that it is 2 a.m. Pacific. He couldn't very well call Luna whilst she slept, so he found other things to do.

Seven hours later, Eli hoped Luna would be awake as he called her number.

Eli teleports into the room behind Luna...and can't help but admire the view.

"Hello, Librarian Princess of Lunaria. I have come to sweep you away to Paris." Eli grins, offering his hand.

"Is the Champs-Elysees a good place to start, or would you prefer elsewhere?" Eli asks, wearning his long black over coat, with a button-down blue shirt, slacks and black leather shoes.

He was going to have to try out jeans at some point. He reminded himself to consider it.

	Luna jumped a little when Eli teleported into the room. "Hello, Eli," she said with a smile, taking his hand. "I haven't been to Paris in awhile...so I am prepared to be swept away." "I know a nice little cafe on the Champs-Elysees," she said, "We can go there, if you're hungry. Or just want some tea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, remember that I do not need to eat, but I will eat with you if you are hungry." he smiles. "And tea would be wonderful. Food and tea. We will do this." Eli says. And suddenly, they are standing at the Champs-Elysees, to the shock and surprise of several people in the immediate area. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I forgot about you not needing to eat," Luna said with a smile. "It must have slipped my mind." When they arrived at the Champs-Elysees, Luna wobbled a little, as teleportation always made her a little woozy. She steadied herself, looking for the cafe that her and Aine visted when they were last in Paris. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli catches her and kicks himself mentally. He'd forgotten that not everyone was used to teleportation like him. "Luna, are you all right? I am so sorry." he says, his voice flood with concern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," Luna said, "I juts haven't teleported much in awhile. I'm not used to it much anymore." She smiled at him. "The cafe I was telling you about is over there." She pointed in the direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli nods, but makes sure to stay very close to Luna as they walk toward the cafe. Once inside, he pulls out her chair for her and waits until she is seated before sitting down. "Okay, let us play a little game. Tell me the first thing you thought the day you and Aine walked into this place." Eli says. "What was going through your mind then?" he asks.

	Luna sat down, hailing a nearby waiter. She ordered a pot of tea and two muffins for them, in fluid French. "The first thing I thought when Aine and I walked in here?" She pondered over this for a moment. "I thought it was...nice. Quaint. I was also excited, as we had just arrived in Paris." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Were you fluent in French then, too?" he asks. "Speaking of...do you mind if I learn French from you really quickly?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-15 05:30 am UTC (link)
	"I am not fluent, but I do know enough to get by," Luna said. "And I do not mind at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli's mind touches hers very gently as he seeks the part of her mind that commands her grasp of languages. He simply copies the knowledge from her mind into his, enough so that he can carry a conversation and ask for necessities. "Thank you. That is most helpful." he says in French.

	i_feel_you 2011-02-15 06:03 am UTC (link)
	Luna smiled. "Your are quite welcome," she said in French. Their tea and muffins arrived shortly after and Luna thanked the waiter. "This tea is some of the best I've had," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-15 06:34 am UTC (link)
	Eli sipped the tea and his eyebrows raise in surprise. This tea is really good. "This is good tea. You have great taste, Luna." he says, trying the muffin next. "Yes, I could learn to eat regularly if everything is as good as these things are." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-15 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Luna smiled. "I'm glad you enjoy it," she said, taking a bite of a muffin. "This was one of my favorite places that Aine and I visited." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 01:11 am UTC (link)
	"Where did you go next after this place? Did you walk around or did you have to run from crowds of admirers?" Eli asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"We walked around after this," Luna said, "Lots of window shopping and stopping in little boutiques to look at clothes and shoes." She smirked a little. "Girl stuff, I guess you could say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I don't think I'm equipped to appreciate it quite the way Aine did...but I am willing to walk around and see what you find worth noticing." Eli says, eating the rest of his muffin. He sips upon his tea. "I could also chase you through the streets as one of those admirers." he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We don't have to go boutique browsing," Luna said with a smile. "Though I might have us stop in the odd bookstore or two, even if the books are written entirely in French." She took another sip of her tea. "The street chasing is optional." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"Bookstore browsing sounds like fun! I have always wanted to learn French." Eli says. "And I will exercise the street chasing option." Eli nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"I know a decent amount of French, but I wouldn't mind learning more," Luna said with a smile. "Will I know when you plan on exercising this street chasing or should I prepare to be taken by surprise?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"You will be taken by surprise. You shall not know the day or the hour of the chasing. It will simply occur." Eli says, finishing his tea. "Shall we go? I would like to draw attention by being in your company." Eli smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will await the street chasing anxiously," Luna said with a smile. She finished her tea. "Certainly," she said. "We can walk and admire Paris covered in snow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 03:21 am UTC (link)
	"The snow reminds me of home." Eli says. "My people favor the cold, and it has been a long time since I have been in true cold. Our travels led us to strange places and destinations. There were times that I did not think I would ever go home again." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"I prefer slightly warmer weather, but I like watching the snow fall." Luna said. "What was your favorite place you ever travel to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In this dimension or in another?" he asks, trying to clarify. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
