June 5 - Lordly Dining?

by **Ethan Cheng** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:04 am

Ethan occupied one side of a booth at The Wine Bar at Bank End, the kind of place that people with money went to for some light, casual dining.

"Thank you again for having both of us over. Averi loved seeing a place with so much history." He smiled at a lovely waitress who filled his glass with more of a crisp, dry Italian white, before eating another clam.

"Twas my pleasure, of course. Just some old family heirlooms, though."

"Of course. Still, it was very gracious of you. She wanted to make it this evening, but she was feeling kind of under the weather."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:22 pm

"Is everything alright, then, ol chap?"

by **Ethan Cheng** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:29 pm

"I think so. She should be fine by tomorrow. Or were you asking more generally?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:12 pm

"Both, actually."

"Things are going much better. My mother finally woke up a while back, and everything is clear for us to return home."

by **Tommy More** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 3:19 am

"Splendid! Shall you be doing so, then?"

by **Ethan Cheng** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 11:38 pm

"We might. Definitely for the summer, whenever we finally get our breaks," he said, looking out the window at the warm sunny day. "Possibly not for fall semester, though."

"Come again?"

by **Ethan Cheng** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:12 pm

"We might or might not come back for the fall. I would like to stay, especially because of...well, what happened with Victoria. I think it depends on whether Mother wants to keep us smotheringly close or not," he said, smiling just a little.

by **Tommy More** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:31 pm

"Ah, yes. Parents."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:30 am

"Mm. You saying that generally, or have they been meddling lately?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 1:47 am

"Err....just generally,' he said, quickly.

by **Ethan Cheng** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:21 pm

He arched an eyebrow. "Something you'd rather not talk about?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:55 am

"Oh, it's nothing," he said, hurriedly.

by **Ethan Cheng** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 2:32 pm

"Okay, okay, I won't push." Though he obviously wasn't convinced. "Mmm. The seafood here isn't bad."

by **Tommy More** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 7:57 pm

"Passable, though Zeryn may have something to say about that."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:45 am

"Zeryn? Unusual name, I don't think I know who that is."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 11:30 am

"Lord of Atlantis. Nice chap."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:44 pm

"Oh! I've heard of him being here. Never met him, though, I'm afraid."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:45 pm

"Keeps to himself, a lot."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:08 pm

"Mm. Well, living up here after being from Atlantis would cause a lot of culture shock, I'd bet."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:11 pm

"I suppose. He seemed to handle it just fine.

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:21 pm

"Still. And I thought going from Hong Kong to London was a big leap." He ordered a few more small plates when the waitress came by.

"So, what's been going on in Lord Moore's world lately?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:45 pm

"Not very much, to be honest, it's been quiet."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:00 pm

"That's nice, when it's not boring. What's your...power doing now?," he asked, lowering his voice. Not that their conversation could really be heard over the ambient noise anyway.

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:09 pm

"Nothing new, particularly."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 6:29 pm

"So you're between elements or something?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 6:57 pm

"Ah, yes. Fire rising and all that."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:04 pm

"Do you have a favorite to use out of the four?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:06 pm

"You know, I really don't. They all have their high points--and their low."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:58 pm

He seemed content with that answer.

"Perhaps sometime you can come to Hong Kong while we're there. We'd give you a tour worthy of a lord."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 11:00 pm

"Possibly! That might be interesting, indeed."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 11:57 pm

"China will surprise even those who've seen all the rest, or so I'm told. It's just home for me."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 11:59 pm

"It's definitely...a fascinating country."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 12:30 am

"So, just in case. Any spots here in the UK you'd recommend Averi and I see soon?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 12:34 am

"I would suggest trying Oxfordshire. A villa is a pleasant place for a fortnight."

by **Ethan Cheng** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:12 am

"I'll definitely look into that, then."
