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.

	"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)

	"Let's go play tourist then," Luna smiled, taking his arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli smiles and they take the bus to the first destination. (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_feel_you 2011-05-01 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"Nine-hundred thirty-two years of existence defines this place. I will return to this place when I reach that age, if it is still here." Eli says quietly, making the vow then and there. Then, he walks forward, down the aisle until he comes to the dais, to look up at the stained glass. "This place is beautiful." he whispers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Luna smiled, watching him. "Yes," she said, agreeing with him. "It is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli reaches out, searching for Luna's hand. "I believe I could stay here forever, if I did not have other things to see or places to be." Eli says. "Also, I entertain ideas of having dinner with you this evening, which cannot be done here." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Luna took a hold of Eli's hand, smiling. "It is lovely," she said, "We could come back again before we leave, if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-05-02 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"I would like to come back here, Luna. Very much so." Eli smiles. "Are you ready to go to the next location?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, we should. ...Though if you wish to teleport us to our next destination, that is alright. The traffic is terrible right now, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
