Aurora leaned back with him and shook her head, "No thank you... I might nap and I don't want to lose it if I sleep." She smiled and turned her head to look at him. "Tell me about Europe..." She murmured softly, her free hand reaching up and resting on his chest.

"Europe...is a different way of thinking....In America, I think every day life evolves around the economy....while in Europe....I found it is always more about being socially responsible. There are codes, etiquettes, that everyone follows without having them taught directly.... Europe is not -new-. It is based on an older foundation, which is why it is such a great tourism spot, from a historic point of view...Castles, Palaces, Museums, Churches.....Cathedrals even. Have you ever been inside catacombs? Or even know what they were used for?"
*His eyes looking up, he seems to be able to go on and on about Europe...He looks at Aurora, already smiling, he lays his warm hand on hers...His head turning to watch her....*

Aurora smiled and gently squeezed the hand she was holding, "No... I've never been to a catacomb before, or know what they were used for... they're in France, right?" She asked softly, still. "It sounds beautiful over there." She added. She shifted slightly so she'd be able to look up at him from his chest as he spoke.

"Catacombs are under churches and Cathedrals. A very known one is in France....but there are some everywhere. The catacombs were used to put 3 bones for each human, the two femur, and the skull. They believed that if those 3 bones were still together, that you could come back for judgement day. So, they stored them inside the catacombs, making quite an atmosphere, add the stories of monsters and ghouls, along with the Gargoyles statues that were all over the place, it was quite scary. At that, it is underground, the only source of light being fire, and fire....makes more shadows then actual light. The other use it had.....was to hide Christians when the people decided to slaughter them. They hid there, and no one was courageous enough to enter the catacombs.....that they were saved from the killings. If we ever go to France, I simply must show you, the great cathedral, Notre-Dame. Simply....fantastic...."
"If you could see some place in the world, anything....what would it be, Aurora?"
*Mark looked down on her, what a view she was.....a never-ending smile covered his face, his cyan eyes locked into hers.....He brings his other hand down and gently brushes her hair with his fingers....*

Aurora yawned and nuzzled against his hand, "Russia... Moscow..." She stated, her voice becoming slightly lined with being tired. She laughed softly, "You really tired me out..." She whispered just loud enough for him to hear. She raised her hand to bring his hand up, then lightly kissed the top of his hand. "Being able to travel.... around the world must be wonderful..." She commented with a small smile.

*Oh.....Moscow....interesting....But if we go we must bring a good car with us."
*His smile slightly disappears....*
"Oh...im sorry....I didn't mean to tire you out...."
*He leans forward and gives a small kiss on her forehead, his hair tickling Aurora's nose.*
"Next week....will be Moscow then...."

Aurora giggled slightly, leaned her head up slightly and kisses his chin softly. "It was worth being tired today." She 'seductively' whispered to him. She laughed softly and nuzzled back against his cheek. "I'm very excited to be here with you..." She added gently. She looked back up into his cyan eyes with her emerald ones.

"Do not mind me thought.....you can go right to sleep..." He gently whispers back....."It is a long trip to Austria....."
*The air-plane begins to move to the take-off zone, making a very loud noise. Mark chews on his gum, trying to remove the pressure from his ears.*
"Arg....I hate take off"s" He mumbles to himself...."

"I will after take off..." She replied. She sat up. She looked out the window and smiled. Once they made it to the runway, her smile spread even more. She leaned back, relaxing as they listened to the flight attendant explain. As soon as she was done, the pilot came on. Once he finished speaking, they began to take off. As they leaned back, the pressure in creased. She forced, or maybe actually, yawned; relieving the pressure. Once they leveled off, she looked at Mark. "We're going to Austria..." She whispered in a sing-song voice, then laid her head back on his chest; unbuckling to shift and get comfortable.

"Sleep you sleeping beauty, your prince will protect your dream" Mark gently said, watching Aurora slowly falling asleep....He simply sit there, watching her...slowly breathing...content with her smile.....Mark did not move, not wanting to disturb her slumber.....

~Roughly 6 hrs later~
Aurora slowly woke up. Groggily, she sat up and looked at him. She smiled tiredly, "Hey... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to fall asleep on you." She frowned slightly and looked at his suit. "It's all wrinkly now..." She looked him in the eyes; the grogginess leaving slowly.

"The view was quite worth it, Aurora" Mark answers, he curses....
"damnit.....a landing so soon...." *He takes out another chewing gum and bites hard on it, his arms gripping the arm rest like his life depended on it. The plane lands shortly after, it is dark outside, and the airport is lit all over the place by artificial light. Mark takes the two bags from the baggage space over them, and leads Aurora through the check points. Mark loaned a car, and asks her*
"Are you hungry, or the jet lag calls for a bed?"

"No, I'm hungry. I'm awake now." She laughed softly, following closely behind Mark. Once they go to the car, she went to the passenger side and climbed in. "If anything is even open at this time." She laughed softly.

"I know a few places" *He winks at her, and drives, fast as usual. After a 30 minute drive, they enter the city, and Mark stops in the parking lot of "Essen is Gut". The motor dies down, and Mark leaves the car, closes his door, and opens the door for Aurora*
"Do give me the honour or showing you, "Essen is Gut", one of my favourite restaurants here."
*Again, Mark has expensive taste. A Butler waited for them at the entrance, and lead them to their table. Their place was on the second floor, the walls only glass, one had a fantastic view of the city. A single candle burnt, the one on their table....*
"Die fraulein wilst ein stilles mahlzeit...."
*The Butler makes a "Ohhhh", and leaves the two to choose their meal....*
"I for one, love their white wine here, it is simply sweet, would you like some with your meal? And what do you, want to eat?" He asks her, his hands holding the menu.

Aurora simply looked at Mark, "I trust you to order something for me. I'll try anything." She smiles and looked around the restaurant. "And white wine sounds fantastic." She added softly, then focused her eyes on him. "I feel out of place since this is such a nice place and I'm in shorts and a tanktop." She laughed softly once more.

"Your beauty sure does honour to this restaurant. Do not worry about it, myself, I have some suspicious marks on my coat."
*Mark motions the butler over, and orders*
"Wir wollen das weisses wein und die kaninchen mit die gemuse"
*The butler takes note, and leaves*
"So.....Tell me Aurora....would you have stayed a bartender your whole life?"

Post by Kiri on Aug 27, 2009 21:55:10 GMT -5
"I just needed a job and I was so... 'educated' in drinks that I gladly accepted the offer of becoming a bartender." She smiled simply. "so... I remember a certain wager being brought up... 7 questions?" She asked; implying she was choosing to stay with him.

"Ah yes....my 7 questions....my first question.....What is your favourite shoe type?"
*As soon as Mark finished asking that question, the butler comes back with the white wine, and leaves as fast as he came*
"And what....is your favourite chocolate?"

Aurora blinked and blushed slightly. "Well... Whatever I can afford, really... If I can afford boots, I'll get boots. if I can afford tennis shoes, I'll get them... I mainly wear my tennis shoes and boots though... And flipflops. I'm... not into name-brand things...." She shrugged a shoulder, then grabbed her glass of wine. She sipped the wine, contemplating the chocolate. "Meiji Chocolate..." She smiled, "And Lindt... milk chocolate or with almonds." She laughed softly. "That wine is very good."

"Definitely, they make it here, it is their own brand... But if you could afford, any shoes whatsoever.....be it crystal shoes or princess shoes....what would it be?"
*He takes a sip from the wine, and enjoys it deeply. It has been too long he has been here.*
"My third question...What is, your favourite pet?"
*Mark watches her, the candle light creating shadows near his cyan eyes, making a contrast between them and his face*
"My fourth question... what is your favourite car type? "
