Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"Lunch sounds wonderful."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Let's go, then. Same place with the little waterfall, or would you like to try somewhere different?"

 

[Bront]

"You decide. You know the city better than I do, and I'm just happy for the company."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, if you don't feel strongly enough to choose the last cafe, I'll go for a different one then. This next one's small, but the food is very good. "

*He leads her through the city to a tiny little place with only three tables, where he pulls out a seat for Vasha to sit.*

 

[Bront]

"It's not that, it's just I enjoy your company, and seeing where you take me lets me know a little bit about you."

She clings to his arm, occasionaly resting her head on his shoulder as they walk though the city.

Vasha smiles and sits in the offered chair "Thank you"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"It's not that, it's just I enjoy your company, and seeing where you take me lets me know a little bit about you."

"Oh, then I'm glad I didn't take you to a depressing place last time!"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome! Now before the waiter comes, I recommend the krilash. It has delicious imported vegetables and cheese inside."

 

[Bront]

"Oh, that sounds wonderful," Vasha says.

Vasha found lunch highly enjoyable, for the company as well as the food. They finish up and head back to the auction house.

"So, I guess I'll see you later after work," she says while holding him in a long embrace. "I look forward to it."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Me too. I'm only sorry that it has to be later later, after those boring taxes, but I have to do them some time, I guess. Enjoy the last half of your break, dear Vasha."

 

[Bront]

"Well, if it helps you make it though the ordeal," she kisses him with teasing passion, "just think of things to do with me when you're done." she gives him a knowing wink.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, that would be a pleasant way to endure the ordeal, but I don't think they would appreciate it if I was drooling through the meeting, now would they?"
