She shook her head, "Never...Before I came to England I'd really never been farther than Spain..." Laughing, she said, "Paris! It's so romantic..." She paused, and said, "Shall we eat, then?" |

"Looks like there are a few places you need to go then," he said, already thinking about where he'd take her for their next date. But he was getting ahead of himself now. "Yes, let's eat," he said. Llian requested a table for them, surprised at how well he remembered the language: it had been awhile since he'd last stayed in France. They were seated at a nice table outdoors and given menus. The waiter walked away to give them time to order, and Llian looked down at the menu, though he wasn't really focusing on it. "I'm really glad this arrangement worked out," he said. "I've been wanting to take you on an actual date for awhile," he said, smiling. |

Meredith smiled at him and worked on deciphering the menu - she knew some French but not too much. "What do you recommend?" she asked, then added, sheepishly, "I don't know what half of these dishes are..." "I'm glad too!" she said, "Seriously, you have no idea..." |

"I think I might have some idea," he laughed. "As for the menu, anything is good, really. Do you like meat or seafood better?" he asked. |

She only smiled and shook her head - there was no way he could tell what she felt when she looked in his eyes....unless he felt the same thing. "Meat," she said, "I can't stand seafood." |

"Then I'd suggest not ordering anything on this half of the page," he said, gesturing to the right side of the menu. "Well, the duck is good," he suggested, looking over the rest of the menu. "So is the steak." "How's your reporting job going?" he asked, trying to strike up an actual conversation. |

"Okay," she said, "You can order me the steak - not sure I want to eat duck..." She turned her head slightly, bashfully, and said, "Reporting...I haven't really been able to come up with much lately. I thought England would be full of news and stuff but it's really not - what worries me the most is that my editor might call me back at any time...and I'd have to go." Meredith didn't want to talk about that, so she smiled and added, "I'm working on some writing of my own that's not for el Sol, too." |

Llian nodded, and when the waiter came back, he ordered her the steak and himself some sort of fish he'd never tried before. "So you do other writing besides journalism?" he asked, interested. (ooc: I have to go...do you want to pick this up later and leave it here for now?) |

Meredith nodded. “I write some short stories...They're not much, really, but they could be something, maybe...if I work at it. Takes a lot of revision....sometimes I want to shoot my profession.” She smiled. “I can't get over how amazing this place is!” |

"I'm sure they're great," Llian said. He smiled at her exclamation. "It's only this amazing if you're with the right people," he said softly. |

Meredith blushed. "You're so sweet!" She saw the waiter bring them their food, and tried her steak - "Mmm...this is delicious..." She caught his eye and let herself relax...this was a truly amazing evening. |

"I told you everything was good here," he said as he, too, began to eat. "Hm...this is good fish...I wasn't sure I'd like this," he laughed. He looked up at Meredith and caught her eye, feeling a funny jolt in his stomach. "So besides writing, what else do you like to do?" he asked, wanting to learn more about her. |

Meredith nodded. “You were right – although I can see you doubted your own words...” She laughed. “What else? You want the whole list? Well...I love to sing, even though I'm not sure I have the best singing voice. And...I scrapbook. I got my first camera when I was ten, and I have so pictures...About four years ago, I decided I needed somewhere to put them all...” She smiled at him, glad she was sitting – lightheaded again. “I love to walk outside...nature is so beautiful, and so many people don't appreciate it at all.” Pausing, she asked, “What do you like?” |

"Nature is beautiful," Llian agreed. "And now you've made me want to hear your singing voice," he teased lightly. "As for what I like to do? I like to travel...it's the best way to learn, I've found. Besides, there's almost nothing more exciting than going someplace you haven't been before," he said. "Besides traveling...I like to sing too, actually, though I don't know how good I am...and I like cooking...even though most people call what I do 'experimenting with ingredients'," he laughed. "What are your least favorite things?" he asked. |

Meredith giggled. "Well, we'll have to try a duet sometime, shall we? “What do I dislike? Hmm...good question. I can't stand it when people judge me before they get to know me.” She stopped, and said, sheepishly, “Okay, I know I didn't do the best with you on that point, but... “Also, I hate it when I'm talking and someone interrupts me, because they think they know what I'm saying, and they really don't. I don't like being stereotyped. I can't stand it when people ask why I don't look Spanish. I hate not knowing who my real parents are...” |

Llian laughed. "Well, it's quite understandable." He became more serious as he listened to her speak. "You don't know who your real parents are? That must be tough," he said sympathetically. He wondered what it'd be like if his mother and father weren't his real parents...he'd certainly want to know who his parents really were. |

She nodded. "I've got a few ideas from different people as to where I could try to find them...I mean, I really want to know, but what if they hate me? Why did they get rid of me in the first place?" She wanted to change the subject to something more appropriate for a date, but couldn't think of anything... "One more dislike," she said, "Then I get to hear some from you. I hate the way I feel like I can't control how I feel whenever you're around..." She paused, and dropped her voice lower. "But at the same time it's amazing..." |

"You know what? Aside from disliking staying in one place for too long, people who freak out when I tell them I'm a Legilimens or a pureblood or something, and people who think they know everything....I think we dislike the very same thing," he remarked. "And I find it quite amazing as well." He reached over and took her hand in his. |

Meredith blinked as he took her hand. “Really?” she asked, then wanted to kick herself for saying something so stupid. “And...that means?” Again, stupid thing to say. But she suddenly found she honestly couldn't think. |

Llian laughed softly. "Well...I thought it was a little obvious, but it means that I have feelings for you, Meredith," he said. "And it means that I like having those feelings for you." |
