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.

"That...makes sense. Of all time? So, you can...obviously time travel then?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Of course. I just don't like doing it all that much because messing with the whole flow of time thing is BAD. I tried it once. World War II? Yeah, my bad."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I should have known that was because of you."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Well how was I supposed to know that sweet little painter was going to turn out to be a total nutball with a God complex or whatever. I mean if I would have known what he was going to do then I would never have saved him in the first place!"

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"It wasn't really your fault, I don't think. It could have been anyone at that time." He means that too.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She sighs as the waiter brings them the croissant basket and the fruit and cheese tray that she ordered. "Yeah, I guess. I totally tried to make up for it though. I mean, I figured that the whole internet thing at least made it somewhat better."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yes. Thank you for that."

It is ALL making sense now. How else would these mortals think of it? Seriously?

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"You are so welcome!" She beams as she takes a croissant out of the basket and proceeds to spread some butter on it. "So, I'm thinking we start here for trim and possibly make a small side trip to China for silk if we can't find anything descent in town."

You have no idea how pissed she was when Al Gore tried to take credit for it. Not pretty.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"China? How long are we going to be gone for?"

He wondered whatever happened to that guy after that...

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Oh not too long really." She pauses with the croissant halfway to her mouth as she suddenly looks at him speculatively. "Why, are you in a hurry to get rid of me?"

He totally lost his bid for the presidency because of some strange problem with pregnant chads in Florida. Served him right too.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"No, reason. I just have to...get back."

K'tanya lifts an eyebrow as she pulls a piece off the bread in her hand. "Hot date," she asks before popping the bread in her mouth.

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"You might say that." He looks at her for a moment before he just comes right out with it. "It's Quinn."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She just looks at him for a long moment, searching his face for something. Finally, she takes a deep breath and sets the rest of the bread down on her place. "You're kidding me, right?"

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"What?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Rolling her eyes, she settles back in her seat and shakes her head at him. "What happened to that whole commitment issue of yours? Immortals suck and all that happy crappy. We used to argue about it all the time before I trapped you convinced you to marry me!"

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"I'm not committing myself to her. There's a vast difference here."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Well what is it that you're doing then?" She narrows her eyes slightly at him, and there's this faint glimmer of red in their golden depths. "You're not toying with the poor girl's affections are you?"

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"No, I...It's just not like that." He sighs, "I can't explain it."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Well there's something that never changes," she says, although her voice and look have both softened. "You never did explain much of anything."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

"There are some things that I'm good at and there are other things that I'm not. Talking about my feelings towards Quinn is one of those things that I'm not good at." He says with a shrug.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She went back to her croissant and picked up a piece of cheese from the tray. "Yeah well, talking about any of your feelings was never a strong suit as I recall."

Suddenly she pulls out her cell phone and glances at the time on it. "Where is that boy."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Right about then, as if on que, a voice comes from behind Adam. "Sorry, I'm late. I got held up in traffic."

[iris-angel.livejournal.com]

He was going to say something to her about that, but that was when the visitor arrived.

Adam turned around and thought that he might be able to breathe again. He cleared his throat, though, before he stood up to shake hands with the boy.

K'tanya sat back in her chair with that cat that ate the canary kind of smile as the two men met.
