RP - Wedding Dress Shopping - Part 2

[toodamnmanymuses]

Takes place after this. (flocked).

Despite Archimedes less than pleased attitude at being asked to carry Adam across the ocean, and Adam's less than pleased attitude with being coerced into riding on the back of the ill-tempered griffin, they manage to make it to Paris with only a few minor problems. Minor of course meaning that nobody ended up dead or seriously injured on the ride over. At least, not for very long.

The landing on the rooftop of K'tanya's Paris residence is a bit bumpy of course, but she blames it on the length of the journey and doesn't even consider the possibility that the griffin is doing it on purpose just to piss off his unwanted passenger. Besides, she's so excited about the prospect of shopping for her wedding dress materials on Adam's credit cards, that the shopping is all that she can think about anyways.

"Well, here we are, safe and sound just like I promised." Mostly.

"Hey, I'm not judging. Why should I? It's simply strange. I would actually like to meet...Kismet."

He looks at her, "And you don't look terrifying when you call me Meffie. More like a small kitten."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Her eyes narrow slightly, then she just sniffs and starts walking again. "Would you prefer your real name then? Frankly, you should find an alternative soon to the one you're using now. You just don't look like an Adam."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I look like an Adam." He pauses, "Why? What name do you suggest?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She walks through the door that the doorman so nicely held open for her, then pauses on the other side just out of the way so she can look at him for a moment.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe Dan, or Tom, or Robert. Maybe even a Peter."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I don't look like Peter or Robert. Although, Dan and Tom...that's interesting."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"You do so look like a Robert. Peter might be questionable though. Maybe just Pete."

She pulls out her cell phone and punches in a number that she apparently has on speed dial as she talks.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Why don't I just name myself Petey and get it over with." He says.

He watches her, "You're calling him now?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"That's the spirit!" She says as she puts the phone to her ear and glances at him.

"I figured I'd see if he was free for lunch."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Oh." He says as he waits for the answer.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Kismet? Hi, baby!

Well I was just in town for the afternoon and wondered if you had time for some lunch.

That cafe' just down the street from the apartment?

Half an hour sounds great.

I'll see you there. Love you too, bye bye."

She hangs up and smiles at Adam. "It's all set."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I heard." He says. "So, what's he like?"

He pulls out the chair for her as soon as they are there. Ever the gentleman.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She smiles at him as she settles down in the chair, although she knows it's only for her benefit that he bothered. She's just special like that.

"Perfect."

Obviously.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well obviously." He says as he pulls out the menu and looks at it.

For some reason, he automatically switched to French. So, he's speaking that right now even though I can't write it.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Of course, she speaks several language as though she were born to them, and she switches to the same language almost instantly without even having to think about it.

"Although oddly enough, he hasn't really shown anything in the way of..." she leans in closer to whisper, "special abilities. At least, not yet and not that he's told me about."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Not even when he was a baby?" He says, "And...has he been a baby long or did he grow up quickly?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She shakes her head as she answers, her fingers playing with the napkin that she set in her lap just a few moments before he asked the question. "No, not that I could see. He was a baby for a little while, but he grows much faster than human children. I'm actually thinking that maybe it won't show up just yet given that aspect of things. I mean, it's only been a couple of years."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"So, is he immortal or will he grow up quickly to an old man?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Oh he's like me," she says before the waiter comes over and she takes a moment to order her lunch and let then him order before she continues.

"He aged to a certain point and now he'll stay like that forever. So, he's immortal, he's just not..." she makes a motion with her finger across her neck to indicate he's not Immortal in the same sense as Methos.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

He frowns, "I get it."

Wait, "Actually, I'm still not entirely sure that I know what you are."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"I'm an Angel of course."

She pauses for a moment, then adds with a bit of reluctance, "well, half Angel anyway."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Half Angel?"

That explains a lot.

"Half what else?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Oh if he thought that explained a lot, wait till he hears this one.

"Demon, but I totally take after mom."

Unless of course she gets pissed off, then she takes out entire countrysides with nearby volcanoes.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

He has to bite his lip from saying or really thinking anything that he was thinking when she said that.

"Who is your mother?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Good idea, since she would really hate to fry Paris. They have an awesome fashion week here.

"Oh she's not like, way up in the hierarchy or anything. She's no Gabriel or Michael. She's just a healing Angel. Her name is Lelahel and she's in charge of harmony and beauty."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"She sounds lovely. Do you still keep in contact with her?"
