Llian apparated with Emma to the hills above a small town in Italy, San Gimignano, with a lovely view of the town below. |

She took in the view from where Llian had apparated them, and gasped taking in the beauty of the view and the town below. Oh Llian! This.. this is lovely. |

Llian nodded. "I come up here to think a lot. I actually found the town when I was looking into my family history. This is where my grandfather and my grandmother met and fell in love. I ended up liking it here, so every once in a while I come back and visit...." he trailed off, blushing slightly. "Sorry, I'm rambling, aren't I? Anyways, I just thought that you might like to come up here sometimes. I mean, I know this situation with me and Kevin isn't easy, and sometimes life at HQ can be stressful, so I figured you might like some peace and quiet." |

Missem was speachless. This place was beautiful, and peaeful.. a perfect place to think. Llian had read her mind in what he had just said. The situation wiht chosing between he and Kevin, wasn't easy.. and there was always something going on at HQ that left her thinking. She reached out to hug him tightly, whispering..Thank you. |

He hugged her back, equally as tightly. "I'm glad you like it," he told her, reaching up to stroke her hair. "I also brought you here because this place has a lot of meaning in my family," he told her. "Like I told you, my grandparents fell in love here. Actually, my grandmother was engaged to someone else here, but as my grandfather could see, they weren't happy. One night, my grandfather found her crying on this hill and wanted to comfort her. He ended up giving her this," he said, pulling out a golden locket, "as a good luck charm, to help her out." He put the locket in her hand and closed her fist around it. "I want you to have it. Maybe it will bring you some luck as well." |

Her eyes widened as he pressed the locket into her hand and looked up to him uncertainly. Llian, I... I don't know what to say. |

"You don't have to say anything," he said, smiling. "Now, we're having lunch in San Gimignano, and I've got one more surprise for you," he said with a grin. |

"And I'll say it again: you deserve it. We can just apparate there: it'll take us forever to get back to town if we walk." He apparated her down to a small restaurant and walked in with her. The restaurant was dimly lit with strains of music in the background but unusually empty for the time of day it was. In fact, there were no other customers. "Remember how you told me you loved the Italian lasagna?" he asked, remembering back to their first date. |

"Well, how would you like to learn how to make it?" he asked. "The restaurant owner's an old friend of the family's and he agreed to help me out today." |

To make it! That'd be amazing. Although are you sure it's safe? I mean asides from chocolate cake, bean roast, pancakes and curry with rice... im quite good at giving out food poisoning or setting the smoke detector off. She blushed. But if he's teaching.. im willing to learn |

"I'm sure you'll do fine," Llian assured her. "Let's head to the kitchens." They went into the kitchen where, instead of the restaurant owner, there were all the ingredients to make the lasagna, a note resting on the counter. Llian picked up the note and read it. "Well, this wasn't part of the plan," he remarked. "Mario had to leave: one of his friends isn't doing so well. He's at the hospital. But he left the recipe and said we could make it ourselves. If you don't want to, though, he left a key so we could lock up." |

She eyed the ingredients curiously, as if weighing up the challenge.Then nodded confidently. Well.. you both went through so much trouble. You in arranging this and him in setting out the ingredients and recipe... i say we have a go. Where do we start? |

Llian looked at the recipe. "Well, we start by putting the baked noodles on the bottom of the pan," he said, gesturing to the large, flat noodles laying on the table. "And then we cover it with the sauce and various cheeses." He looked at the numerous bowls of cheeses on the counter. "But he didn't say which ones to use." |

Llian looked at the various bowls and then walked over to them. Picking one up randomly, he smelled it and said, "How about this one? It smells good: that's the scientific way to tell," he joked. |

She joined him by the bowl and took a sniff. It does smell good. Then this cheese it is then. This is going to end interestingly i forsee. |

Llian smiled and took a pinch of the cheese, spreading it over the sauce and noodles. "Yes, it should be," he replied. (ooc: sooo sorry....got called away) |
