Anomia

Vlad hugged Cait from behind, wrapping his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head as he narrowed his eyes and considered the piece in front of them. He totally knew the name of this. For sure. It shouldn't even be that hard. He'd bet a lot that he'd seen pictures of this many times before. And no, he would not cheat and look at the plaque.

But why couldn't he remember who it was to save his life?

"Wait...I know this one. I can get this, I swear!" Yeah...no. Well, way to look stupid in front of your girlfriend in the middle of the Ancient Rome exhibit. Which was sort of the one that mattered really.

	"You don't have to know all of them," she said. "Or any of them for that matter." She looked up at him and smiled. "I'll love you no matter what." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vlad laughed. "You're just trying to make me feel better about this incredibly bad lapse in memory," he teased and pressed his forehead against the top of her head while shutting his eyes and trying to concentrate. "...hint?" He asked in a jokingly feeble manner a few long moments later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...It says something about them that that doesn't exactly narrow down the list significantly. Was he the one with a horse in the senate, or that one who ended up drowning guests in flower petals? Or umm...shoot there's a list of bad emperor things. Wasn't there one they made a banned movie based of off? Or is that one of the ones I mentioned already?" Way to have bad memory, he told himself.

"Eesh this is like 20 questions here."

	"It's okay," Cait said. "It's a bust of Caligula. The worst of the worst." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Wow I feel stupid," he laughed. "Should've been an easy one." He unwrapped his arms from around her and grinned. "Okay, this is more your section. Show me around oh wise guide? I'm apparently really out of it today with names of things. And then lunch on me and/or a bit of city exploring for fun?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can forget all the names you want as long as you don't forget mine," she said and took one of his hands in hers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-12 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Never yours," he laughed and gave her hand a squeeze. "I don't even need to tell you how crazy hard a hit to the head would need to be to make me forget that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-13 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Good," she said. Though she knew it was totally possible for him to forget things and have his mind wiped. It was a hazard of the job. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-13 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	He leaned in and kissed her cheek and grinned, not really caring that they were in public or in a museum. "The smart and hot one, I got lucky," he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's her name? I'm going to have to have a talk with her," Cait joked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-14 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"You totally should, tell her I'm hopeless when it comes to her. Worst part is she's married so my chances are nil." He sighed dramatically. "So it goes though, the best ones are always taken." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-15 12:05 am UTC (link)
	Cait laughed and then kissed him. "I love you, Silly Man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-15 12:12 am UTC (link)
	He returned the kiss happily and grinned back before jokingly protesting. "But I was serious there!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-17 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh huh. Sure you were." She loved spending time with him. He always made her smile and laugh no matter what the situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-17 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	The feeling was pretty mutual, he always had a good time with her, regardless where it was. "Was so," he smiled. "You've got a Russian prince and I'm hopeless for you. This is all very much true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-17 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Cait blushed. "You're the only Russian I want and you're a prince in my eyes. Just don't tell Misha. He may divorce me and I won't get any more chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-17 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Vlad laughed then used the hand he was holding to tug her closer and give her a light kiss. "Your secret is safe with me princess. And why give up free chocolate when you don't have to?" He smiled and winked. "I heard that raspberry truffles are the way into your good graces. This true or have my sources been leading me astray?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-17 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "They are. I admit. I am a sucker for raspberry truffles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Perfect. You can pretend to look surprised when I get you some," he smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll practice my surprised face." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now you're tempting me to surprise you somehow," he laughed. "Any more of the exhibits you wanted to go through or food on me? ...Money wise I mean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-18 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Cait grinned. "I don't know. Food /on/ you sounds good too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-06-18 12:38 am UTC (link)
	He laughed at that. "It can be arranged, just say the word. Though sadly not in the city, they're spoilsports sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-06-18 12:41 am UTC (link)
	A brow rose. "I was joking," she said. Though the thought of doing that was a nice one. Mentally she chided herself for having such thoughts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
