[RL - this is totally not a date.]

Some people had no sense of proportion.

Hakuba Saguru was apparently one of those people. Issei hadn't been lying when he said that even a fast-food place would have been good enough for him, but no. Hakuba wanted to go to Paris. And while there was nothing wrong with Paris, aside from the fact that Issei wouldn't be able to read any of the menus, it did make him feel like something of a gold-digger.

Well, there was nothing that could be done about it now, he thought, waiting outside the entrance of the temple with his borrowed book in hand. If that's where Hakuba wanted to go for their friendly outing, that's where they would go. Even if it was completely unnecessary.

It took a while for Hakuba to get used to drive at 200 miles to worldhopp, but he had to admit that it was quite exciting once he know how to control the car enough to not kill himself in the process. Or kill anyone, for what matter.

When the detective came screeching down the street in the MGA Roadster and parked right next to Issei he nearly knocked him down .

"Oops, sorry Issei. Are you ready?"

If Issei had known how dangerous Hakuba's driving was, he would have waited at the top of the hill!

"I don't know, are all of my limbs still attached?" Issei asked. "Do you always drive that fast, Hakuba?"

"I apologize again." he said, looking ashamed. "I need to do it to worhdhopp, but the rest o f the time I drive just well; I promise you."

The blond boy motioned to the seat next to him. "Well..did you changed your mind?"

"It's... all right. If it's for worldhopping purposes, then I understand." Hesitantly, Issei climbed into the seat.

Hakuba waited until Issei was made himself comfortable on the car. He remembered the first time he was traveling to Venice with Rufus on his car.

"It's going to be a short ravel to Paris." He announced as he went speeding down the street, swerving through traffic like it was a death race.

Even though he'd been expecting the speed, Issei still clung for dear life to his seat. "Is this at all legal? Or safe!?"

Hakuba gave him a wryly smile. "It's necessary." he couldn't help it, he needed to bring the car up to the proper speed to get it ready for the worldhop.

The detective accelerated more, they reached to the end of the street before they landed on the freeway to Paris.

"That's not an ans- whoa." Issei stared at surroundings with wide eyes. "...This is my first time out of the country, actually."

"I'm sure you are going to like it. if you need help with the language just ask me, I will be your particular translator." He parqued the car.

"We can visit the city for a bit before dinner, you can't go to Paris and not visit the Eiffel Tower."

"That would be very helpful, thank you. I'm afraid you'll probably have to translate the menus for me."

Issei unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out of the car. "That sounds worthwhile."

"If you want me I can order for you..." The boy grinned mischievously, stepping out of the car as well. "If you're not afraid of me ordering somethings nasty for you like Escargots."

(ooc: escargots:snails, it's a french dish)

"I already told you that the food wasn't very important," Issei answered calmly. "Besides which, I doubt you'd buy me anything truly awful."

((I knew that!))

"I will not, don't worry. And the escargots are supposed to be a great dishes but.." Hakuba made a face, escargots where not on his favourite food list. "Where do you want to start?"

((ohm ok ^^'))

"I have no idea," Issei admitted. "What's nearby? I suppose we should start from there."

((It's all right~))

"Uhm...let's see..Paris is the city of a thousand clichés - the ‘City of Lights', and Hemingway's much quoted ‘Moveable Feast' amongst them, but for once it is also a city that justifies the hype.The compact center is easily navigable on foot, the lifeblood River Seine splits the city neatly in two and the useful arrondissements system neatly carves Paris into manageable chunks. We can explore the city’s avenues and backstreets as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame wasn’t about to pop into view at any moment. Paris is enchanting almost everywhere."

"...Hakuba, I hope you're not expecting me to come up with a suggestion based off of only that."

Hakuba looked at Issei, an eyebrow quirked . "Let's just go to the center, and then we can visit the monuments."

"Sounds fine to me," Issei agreed.

"Perfect then."

(ooc: do you want to move along and say that they already visited all that places and now are on the restaurant?)

Issei smiled at his friend. "Please lead the way."

((That sounds best, especially considering that I know nothing about Paris.))

((ooc: it's a lovely city))

after hours visiting the city, they were finally relaxing in a fancy restaurant that have the menu in different language, so it wasn't a big deal to know what they were going to order.

"I think that I will go for the Blanquette de veau. What about you Issei?

"The pot au feu looks least intimidating," Issei replied, relieved to recognize at least something on the menu. He knew what beef was, and he knew what vegetables were, so he would probably be fine.

Hakuba looked over his menu to face Isse, an smirk on the corner of his lips. "Less intimidating? I never knew that you was afraid that French food would try to eat you instead of the other way around."

"I wouldn't go that far," Issei scoffed. "As a monk, I'm just used to eating more simple foods than this."

"I know Issei, but food it's just food. Don't you like to try new thing from time to time?" Hakuba gave him a suggestive eyebrow waggle.

sorry for the late reply D:

Don't worry, I don't mind~
