Harm paused for a moment and then shook her head, "We'd just need to find a translator. Or something." When Dante moved to cover her eyes though, Harm laughed and closed them, holding tight to him so that she wouldn't fall or trip. She trusted him to lead her where ever it was he was leading her without any collateral damage to either of them. "Okay." She responded, almost bumping into him when he stopped. He kept his hands over her eyes for a moment longer, though she was nodding in excitement anyways. Clearly, there was something he wanted her to see. After he pulled his hands away, Harm blinked to get her sight back in the bright light, and then they widened. "Whoa." It was the first utterance that slipped her lips, and then she looked back at Dante, "We? We're staying there?" |

Making Harm accounted for a good day in his book. She had been excited since they got there and getting her reaction over the hotel wasn't anything less. Well, maybe add a little surprise to that. "Yeah we're staying here. Unless you want to sleep in a gondola on the river," Dante laughed. "They have those here? Wrong country probably." With a grin he stepped to stand beside her and kissed her cheek. "We are staying here because I wanted to find the best place there was for you that I could get away with. Wait till you see the inside." Admittedly he had used a lot of the money out of the fund that David had for each Morvanna child, but it was his money. He could use it as he saw fit, and he was actually surprised David hadn't taken it away or something. This was the best use for some of it. |

Harm couldn't help but squeal just a little bit, clapping her hands together in pure excitement as she responded, " Maybe next time...Venice though." She took his hand when he kissed her cheek again, and asked, "Can we go in now?" If the inside was anything like the incredible architecture on the outside, she was more than excited to go look. The fact that he had thought this all out to picking the best place for them to stay really meant a lot to her. |

"Absolutely." Dante had seen the lobby in pictures but not in person so when they walked in he let out a low whistle. Well then, this was a lot more than even the pictures ever gave away. "Talk about a hotel," Dante said, glancing at Harm to get her reaction upon walking in. Pictures were one thing, in person was another. He had definitely had done his research in figuring out the aspects of the trip. "What do you think? I pick well?" He was smiling this time, hoping he was making this trip the best he could for her. |

Holy. Shit. Harm was in pure awe as they walked into the marble-and-chandeliered lobby, her grip on Dante's hand tightening into a squeeze for a moment as she grinned. This was...incredible. This was being spoiled to unbelievable levels, and so, so much more than she expected, or needed. "You have...great, taste." Harm answered him, still a little shocked that not only was he taking her to Paris, but he was putting her in the lap of luxury while doing so. It was just completely amazing. |

"You deserve it, Panther," Dante reminded her. After everything he believed so and simply because he could spoil her and make her happy too. Both were good reasons. He went to the desk to check in, setting the bags on the floor for the time it took. He was still distracted by looking at the lobby though out of the corner of his eye or when the person wasn't asking questions to confirm things. Bending down to one of his bags though he took out the camera to take a picture from where he was standing, and then got Harm's attention and tossed it to her; figuring she'd find things to take pictures of too. "I think we're going to be spoiled by the time we get home," he told her, sincerely sure of that much. |

Harm laughed and kissed him again, "No, you just spoil me." He always did anyways, always saying she deserved more and...really, she was just completely content to have him. To love him, and raise children with him. It was so much better than she really thought her life would ever turn out to be like. Her first attempt in love with a complete bust, but Dante had made up for that in so many ways. "We really will be." Harm called back, catching the camera and taking pictures of him instead. |

"Yeah, okay, maybe that, but you deserve that too," Dante reasoned. He was answering another question when the camera flash went off and he turned around to get another. He was a good sport about most things but pictures? "Aw, Panther, come on." It was a whine really, because he wasn't fond of being on the other side of the camera. Getting the key to the room he pocketed as he went over and ignored that the people at the front desk were there as he wrapped his arms around Harm's waist and picked her up to spin her around. Childish? Maybe. He never said he acted his age and it was a spontaneous sort of thing. |

Harm laughed as Dante whined about the pictures, and she told him seriously, "If we're going to document it properly, I want to remember us here. Not just the place. And unfortunately that means I get to take pictures of you. Suck it up, Hermit." When Dante came back over to her, Harm put the camera back up to her face and snapped another one before hiding it behind her back. He simply picked her up and spun her around though, and the giggles didn't stop, giving up hiding the camera to hold onto him instead. "I love you." She told him, beaming. |

"Hermit's like to hide in their shells remember? We're camera shy," Dante joked. Taking pictures was the fun part, not being in them, but she had a point. Before he could allow another one though he had picked her up and he was smiling when he heard say three words that would never get old. "I love you too." He kissed her and then reluctantly let her go as he turned back around to get the bags. "Am I going to get the same shocked reaction when you see the room?" Hey if pictures didn't show the lobby as it really was... |

"I thought we agreed this hermit shared it's shell and therefore there are no hiding spaces?" Harm teased right back, responding to his kiss until he'd set her back down. The comment about shocked while seeing the room made her realize that... she'd not even thought about how the room would look, having been too busy being surprised at the gorgeousness of the outside and lobby. "Ohmimerlin yes!" She explained, following him to the elevators. "Maybe you'll have a hard time getting me out of bed if it's as pretty as this lobby is..." She laughed. |

"Got me there, Panther." Dante just shook his head with the smile still on his face. Harm's reaction to all of it so far was amusing at best, and he was curious at how she'd react to seeing the room. "J'espère." He grinned and pushed the button for the elevator and kept his hand on the door so Harm could get in without it possibly closing on her. "Et donnez-moi un baiser." Assuming she may not get it he explained, "Close your eyes." Half the fun of surprises. |

"I thought I would." Harm said smugly, walking into the elevator when Dante held the door for her. Very chivalrous. She was already having a lot of fun, and that hadn't even been there a full day yet. Once they got onto their floor, Harm stepped out, looking around curiously, but Dante was telling her to close her eyes again. This time, she stuck her tongue out at him, but she listened, closing her eyes as she took his hand again to lead her. "If I run into anything and get hurt you're just going to have to kiss it and make it feel better." She joked, walking carefully. |

"Alright, then how about I make this easier?" Once they stepped out of the elevator and she had shut her eyes, Dante picked her up and carried right to the door and only put her down then. Dropping the bags there in the hall he took out the key and reached over her shoulder to unlock and then push the door open. "Vous pouvez ouvrir vos yeux maintenant." Dante assumed since the door had been opened she got that one that she could open her eyes. The room was already in good view from there. |

It was a good thing that Harm wasn't holding anything, for as soon as she felt her feet leave the ground she was gripping onto his shirt so tightly anything that might have been in her hands would have hit the floor. She kept her eyes closed though, per his request, and just curled up against him. As soon as she heard the door click open, she paused, assuming he was saying she could open her eyes. And her mouth dropped. "Oh. My. Merlin. We're staying here?! This is our room?" Harm slipped out of Dante's arms and hightailed it to the bed, jumping on it with glee. |

Dante laughed just a little at her reaction. It was a good reaction. A very good reaction. As she ran in he turned to pick up the bags and take them in. After shutting the door and putting the key on the table he stood by the bed with his arms folded over his chest as he watched amused. "This is our room and that is our bed that you're jumping on," he told her. "One misstep and I'll have to catch you." Dante shook his head and acted like it was a hard feat to have to do. "Panther's are very good jumpers but I doubt their good at the landing," he teased. |

Harm grinned at him as he laughed at her, even as he was grabbing their bags and bringing them in. She kept bouncing, enjoying the fact that the bed was becoming messy - okay, the room was way, way too perfect - and actually gave her a fair amount of height as she did so. He returned to her, but he didn't join her on the bed. "Cats land on their feet." Harm said, her voice unsteady with her bumping up and down. "But you can catch me." She leaped off the bed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders as she reached him, hoping he would actually catch her. Once there, she kissed him, and said, "Thank you. This is incredible." |

Dante reacted quick when Harm did jump and he had his arms around her waist as he smiled. Kissing her longer than the moment before, he only replied after. "I'm glad you're already having fun," he said honestly. "Being honest here I did try and put a lot of thought into this trip." Dante may had have the tickets and whatnot for a little before he actually told her on Christmas, but it had been weeks before that to make sure everything was perfect from the hotel they were now in, right down to the restaurant she'd be seeing later. Harm was more than worth it. With a grin and Harm still in his arms, he took a step back to dump right back on the bed as he landed over her, his elbows propping himself up. "What was that about cats land on their feet?" he teased. |

Harm grinned when Dante did actually catch her, though her legs had been braced to hit the floor. She just wrapped them around his waist instead, brushing her thumb over his cheek as she responded to his kiss. For a moment, they were stuck in a perfect world where the only thing that existed was them. He pulled back to speak though, and she smiled at him, "I can tell. This is just way, way more than I was expecting. Okay, I hadn't thought about it too much in terms of where we would be staying because I was just totally excited about where we were going, but if I had... I would not have anticipated this. And it's amazing. You're amazing." She had to laugh when he dumped her on her back on the bed once again, tucking her arms underneath her head as she amended, "When they aren't thrown onto beds by hermits." |

"Hey, if I can make this a trip of surprises then good. I like seeing your reactions," Dante told her smiling. "I'll give you one hint about tonight. Just one though." He paused on purpose before he said it. "Best view there is. Or that's my opinion anyways." That had been one thing that he hadn't settled for in pictures because pictures didn't do it justice. Instead, and thank merlin for magic, he had apparated there. Excuse? Going to the store or going for a walk. Bought him a hour at best, and it had worked hadn't it? At her comment he laughed and spoke his response in her ear. "Mais la panthère l'apprécie," he whispered. "Any ideas what that means?" |
