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.

	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 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.

	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)

	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)

	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)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"In this dimension or in another?" he asks, trying to clarify. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"Both," she said after some thought. "Your favorite place you've visited in this dimension, and your favorite place you've visited in some other dimension." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-02-16 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"In this dimension, I am truly fond of New York. I like that they call it the Big Apple, though there is nothing apple-like about it." Eli smiles. "When I was traveling, I saw many sights, but I most enjoyed meeting the Avengers of an alternate future. I met my alternate-self's daughter. She was a wonderful young woman." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 04:46 am UTC (link)
	"I've always wondered why it's called the Big Apple...and I intended to find out someday," Luna said with a smile. "Future Avengers? That sounds very interesting. What was she like, this daughter of yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She was brave, and funny, yet very vulnerable. She is also kind and caring. I nearly made a mistake and hurt her deeply, but my cousin counseled me to see things through her eyes, and so I did.

It was the best decision I ever made." Eli says.

"We teamed up with our children to fight and defeat Kang. I met a warrior princess in a world where heroes are not scorned and mocked, but accepted and treated like friends." Eli says.

"All in all, I am glad I am home, though. Otherwise, I would not be able to tell you these stories." he smiles.

	Luna listened to everything Eli told her about his travels to other worlds like when she was a little girl and her mother would read to her. "I am glad you are home, too, Eli." She said, smiling. "I am enjoying hearing about your adventures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Remind me to tell you of our meeting with King Arthur. I battled Morgan Le Fey...I think that was her name. It was an interesting conversation we had while she tried to kill me." Eli says. "Oh, and then there was Charlie's birthday. I'll let you ask him about that one." Eli grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-02-16 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Morgan Le Fey would be correct," Luna said. "And I imagine that having a conversation with someone when they were trying to kill you would be interesting." She laughed. "So Charlie had a very enjoyable birthday, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
