[He looks at her.

Just looks at her.

Because that's exactly what he's thinking—]

Just thinking that since you didn't have much of a chance to go out, then all the more reason I should take you to as many different places as possible.

[starshower]

[Colour her intrigued.]

Well, now you gotta tell me what places you'd like to take me to.

[flamekthunder]

Hm...but that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?

[A mischievous smile.]

But if you had any particular requests, I would look into them.

[starshower]

Not everything has to be a big surprise.

[Though it is more fun when it is, he's right.]

But I'll have to get back to you on that. There were more places on Elah I wanted to visit, but... well, you know.

[flamekthunder]

[Yes, it is more fun that way, which is a little surprising for him.]

Mm... Hopefully things will return to the way it was.

[And he's heard about the plans in finding the leviathan, but for the most part he's waiting to see if there was anything he could do on that front.]

But anywhere else? If not something specific, then just in general a kind of place you always wanted to see.

[starshower]

Asking the hard questions, aren't you?

[She runs her finger along the edge of her glass in thought.]

Well. I'd like to see more mountains. Places where we can see the stars more clearly. More coves like the ones we found on Latrommi. And... more places to shop for things we don't really see all that often in the markets around Eltrut.

[She breaks with a laugh.]

That too much?

[flamekthunder]

[There's a quiet smile as he shakes his head slightly.]

Not at all, and not too difficult to accomplish, either.

[starshower]

Really?

[There's a shy glance through her lashes at him.]

Bet if you looked hard enough, we could knock a few of them out at once.

[flamekthunder]

Hmm... A place where there are more mountains with a clear view of the stars and some coves, with a large enough population to have a unique market.

[He can't help but quirk his lips at that.]

Oddly enough, there probably is an island just like that.

[starshower]

I think we might have already been there. Latrommi?

[Except she wants something different!!]

Really... I'm just happy to go anywhere with you...

[flamekthunder]

I was thinking of something different.

[He just grins.]

But even if I took you to...a haunted island?

[starshower]

[Okay now HANG ON...

Her eyes go wide.]

N-no?! I mean—I'd still be happy to be with you, but would that really be necessary?

[flamekthunder]

What if it had mountains, clear view of the stars, and held a unique market?

[His eyes gleam playfully, and right now he looks more like a cat than a wolf...though maybe something of both. Fox?]

[starshower]

But with ghosts?

[She chews on her lip, biting back the hint of a smile.]

... Would you protect me from them?

[flamekthunder]

I would.

[A quiet laugh as he gently squeezes her fingers.]

Maybe I'm taking you there on purpose.

[starshower]

Ahh...

[She gives a nod in understanding.]

The old take her somewhere scary so she clings to you trick?

[flamekthunder]

No idea what you're talking about.

[Yes, that's it.]

[starshower]

I think you do, but... in that case... I guess we could do it.

[Only if he promises to keep her safe from the ghosts and ghouls.]

Did you have haunted houses back home?

[flamekthunder]

[He just chuckles because even if that is what he meant, he would really put her up against something she was against. Now if there was a place where the ghosts were peaceful and friendly, then maybe...]

As for haunted houses... There were some amusement parks like that. But there were also islands that had undead in them.

[starshower]

Hmm... Think I'll pass on those. I think there's a difference between ghosts and undead and I'd rather some friendly ghosts than scary undead.

[Even the thought of either of them makes her shiver, though.]

Only thing we had was an inn at the Gold Saucer. They were all actors, but it still scared me a little. Just means they were good.

[flamekthunder]

Yeah, usually it's actors for the entertainment ones. But I didn't really frequent them.

[But he just smiles a little playfully.]

So amusement park would be fine, but not the haunted house.

[starshower]

I think I'd prefer an amusement park, yeah. Wouldn't really call the Diamond Dust one, would you...? Because if that's the case, then we still haven't really found one of those around here yet, have we?

[flamekthunder]

From that casino?

[A low hum as he considers.]

Not really, at least not compared to the ones I've been to in my world with the rides. But now that you mention, I don't think we have...

[He then looks at her curiously.]

Do you think they even exist?

[starshower]

I would think so. If a place like the Diamond Dust can, then there's gotta be a place like an amusement park.

[It would have to be run by a bunch of magic and crystals, probably, but one would think?]

Worth looking into.

[flamekthunder]

Might as well. Would be more surprising if there wasn't something out there...not that I've really been to them much. Maybe once or twice.
