Sightseeing
The royal wedding had been a lovely affair. Luna had enjoyed herself, and thought it was absolutely beautiful.

Though the company might have had something to do with why she had enjoyed herself so much.

After the wedding and reception, Luna and Eli had gone back to the Strand Palace Hotel to their respective rooms.

After taking a brief nap and changing clothes, Luna went to Eli's room and knocked on the door. They had decided to stay the weekend to go sight-seeing.

Unlike Luna, Eli has no need of sleep or refreshment, so while she relaxes, he spends his time sketching more clothing ideas. Several of his models begin to look like Luna, though Eli would not admit to that.

When he hears the knock, he puts his pencil and pad aside, the goes to open the door.

He's already changed into clothing that appears casual, for Eli: a button-down long-sleeve shirt, black slacks and black shoes.

"You look great. How was your nap?" he asks, stepping aside to let her in.

	Luna was wearing a light pink sundress and a white cardigan. The weather was beautiful and she planned on taking full advantage of it. She had a travel guide to London in hand as she entered Eli's room, smiling. "It was wonderful," she said. "Thank you for being patient with me. I guess it was jet-lag. Or teleportation-lag, in this case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am glad that you do not have issues with teleportation. It would make transportation extremely slow." he says. "What is that book you have? Are we staying in to relax, rather than go out?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It saved us money on airfare," she said, smiling. "And made it possible for us to afford this lovely hotel for the entire weekend, as opposed to only one night." She held up her travel guide, grinning. "I made a stop at Barnes and Noble the other day. This is a travel guide to London. I thought we could be touristy and use it to go sight-seeing."

	"Well, someone here came prepared. I am almost willing to believe you planned this entire thing, down to the wedding, just to take me sigh-seeing." Eli jests. "Very well, Librarian Princess. What sights will you have us see today?" he asks, stepping closer to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You caught me," Luna said, laughing. "I told Prince William that he had to purpose to Kate just so I would have an excuse to get you to go to England with me." "We could start with Westminster Abby...and then Big Ben..." She started to skim through her book. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very well. I will teleport us there when you are ready." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We don't have to...but I thought it would be fun for us to be really touristy and take one of those double-decker buses around the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, well, that also sounds like a fun idea." Eli says, a little surprised. "We do not have to wear Hawaiian shirts and straw hats do we? I must draw a line somewhere." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Was there any discomfort at the wedding, Luna? Are you all right now? I cannot imagine what it must have been like for you. I was doing all I could to keep the tide of thoughts out of my own head." Eli says. "When do you want to leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was able to mostly shut it all out," she said. "I find focusing really hard allows me limit any discomfort. Which was why I needed a nap, as it was also tiring." She smiled at him. "As soon as you're ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am ready now." he says, offering Luna his arm. He'll escort her from the room, then walk her downstairs so that they can find the next double-decker bus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Their first stop was Winchester Cathedral. Luna got off the bus, heading inside with Eli, travel book opened to the page on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is a holy place?" Eli asks, looking about the pews and rafters in wonder. There was an energy here; he could feel it. He did not know what it was, but he knew it was there. "What gods are worshiped here, if I may ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe it is used for Christian worship," Luna said. "Though I am not sure if it is used often nowadays." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I find it interesting that humans can still have belief in a deity that cannot see or interact with, when there are actual gods and goddesses living among us, like Svalin." Eli says. His tone is not condescending or patronizing; it's an honest wonder that he has.

He has dined with gods and goddesses, yet he has seen no existence of this Supreme Being that humans put so much faith in. He reminds himself to ask Sersi or one of the other Olympians if they have done so.

"Do you believe in any of the gods worshiped here, Luna?" Eli asks.

	"I was not raised in the religion of Earth," Luna said. "So no, I do not believe in the gods worshiped here. The Terrigen Mists hold some religious significance for the Inhumans, you could say. As do our ancestors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli nods, stroking his beard as he thinks. "Very well. I wanted to ask so that I did not offend you or your beliefs, if you did." Eli says. "How long has this place existed? I feel an energy here, one that can only come from time and care here. It is safe and warm." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have not offended me in the least, Eli." She skimmed through her travel book. "It was built originally in the year 1079. It has undergone construction over the years, but I believe some aspects are the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
