Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen] -> Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: (since the restraunt is closed, do you want to assume she called him?)

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He heads up to the Fate's Kitchen, slow, tentative steps. The young man isn't counting today...he's got another focus on his mind. Still dressed as per normal...it's compartively warm to how it's been lately, and it's never bothered him before. A newspaper-wrapped bundle is under his arm as he walks up to the door and slips in.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen] -> Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: ((Sure.))

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: ((Delete the "slips in" and put in "waits by the door."))

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: Alyssa unlocks the door to let the boy in, gaining a bright smile to paris. "Hello, Paris." She states proudly and locks the door behind him. She's dressed in a tiny white traditional robe, black leather sandals.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "H-hi, Alyssa." He gives the girl a shy smile and shuffles into the restaurant, watching her as she shuts the door. "H-how are you?"

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek "I'm terrible." she says with a bright smile. Maybe she's.. confused. She certainly doesn't seem terrible. She bounces to the door that leads to upstairs. "Come. I have a gift for you."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He blinks at her words, very much confused by them. "I'm, um...I'm sorry." He follows behind her, his head ducking a bit as he heads upstairs with her.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a soft laugh, bouncing up the narrow staircase "Don't be, silly. I enjoy my time with you." She makes her way into the bedroom, motioning him in.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "O-okay." He shuffles into the bedroom, moving to the side of the room. "I-I got you something, too. I, ummm...I, uh..." He kind of tarails off into half-started sentances, and then holds it out.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gently shuts the door, not wanting to wake her mentor. Turns with a bright smile to the boy. "Thank you, Paris." She bounces over and lands another kiss to his cheek, taking the parcel. She reaches under her bed and pulls out a soft package wrapped in white tissue wrapping, encased in a dark red ribbon. She hands it to Paris with a proud smile.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He blushes a little and takes the gift from Alyssa with tentative hands. He looks it over, regarding it with that child-like sort of wonder. Eyes look up to her, as if waiting for permissioin to open it, or if she wants to open hers first.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a proud nod and grins down at her present. She shakes it next to her ear and playfully asks "Is it a goat?" She giggles and takes no time to rip it open to see what's inside.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "No, it's not a goat." He swallows a little...as if he honestly tried to find a goat, and is disapointed he couldn't find one. In the newspaper and twine is a 14" white marble statuette piece of all three Moirae, all in their classic poses...Clotho spinning the threads of life, Lachesis measuring each out, and Atropos with shears ready to cut it.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a bright smile down to the statuette before hugging it to her chest "Oo! It's wonderful!"

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: His smile brightens, dazzlingly so, when she seems to like it. "I, um...the, uh, p-place that I got it...umm....th-there were a, umm...there were a lot o-of ones there...I was g-g-gonna get 'em all, but, umm...couldn't." He shrugs a little, the blush intensifying. "I'm glad you like it."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She beams at the boy, giving an excited jump "Open yours, silly!" She giggles and lays the statue on the floor next to her bed.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen] -> Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: His is a male's ceremonial robe, thick red fabric similar to the one she wears when she prays outside. Handmade, though with only moderate skill. Wrapped in the robe is a vile of Frankincense.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "Okay." He looks to the package and very, veery carefully opens it, taking time to try not to tear the tissue paper. He's focused completely on the task of opening it up, nimble hands opening it up.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She continues to watch, and bounce impatiently.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He looks at his gift with big, wide eyes, and beams up at Alyssa. He stammers a little bit, before he finds his voice, speaking in a small, quiet sort of awed voice. "Th....Th-thank you. I l-l-love it..." He hugs it close, smiling to her.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a proud smile. "I thought you would. Do you know which god in particular that appreciates a fumigation from Frankincense?" She asks with a serious tone.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "Umm..." He has to think about it, as flustered as he is by the gift. "W-well...there's Apollo. His loved one, Leucothoe, was buried alive, and he couldn't save her, so he turned her into a frankincense tree..."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "There's also Aph...Aphrodite. It's s...supposed to, um...summon her, along with myrrh."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a proud smile. "You're brilliant. That's why I like you." She leans over and digs in her bag "There are several. Probably countless ones that favor it.. But the one I had in mind.. was Mnemosyne."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He nods. "The mother of the muses. She was the daughter of Uranus and Gaia, and she was the goddess of..." He pauses, and blinks, as it hits him. "Oh. M-m-memory."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She nods and digs out a white cloth, laying it picnic style on the floor. She steps over with a soft smile to Paris. "We could do a prayer if you like. Ask her to bring your memories back. But only if you want to." She reaches out to take the boy's hand.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He purses his lips, shifting a little nervously as he holds the robe and vial carefully to him. "I-I, ummm...I...ummm..." Tentative eyes watch her. "I-I-I w-want to, but...um. I-I-I'm kinda, umm...well, you s-see...I'm s-sorta a little bit..." He shrugs a little, trailing off. "I dunno."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She tilts her head, watching him. "I don't want to do anything that's going to make you feel uncomfortable, Paris. I wouldn't do that to you." She steps in close to the boy, wrapping an arm around his waist. "If you'd like.. we can ask her to reveal the memories to me first. That way, if they're scary, you won't have to see them. I'm not afraid."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He looks at her a long moment, eyes wavering, before he slowly shakes his head. "N-no...no. If...um. If we d-do...I w-want to see them. I want to kn-kn-know."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She nods with a soft smile. "Are you sure you want to see them? Do you want a chance to sleep on it? If not.. we can do it tonight." She gives him a reassuring squeeze.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "I...um." He considers it for a second. "L-let me th-think about it a l-l-little. For a, umm...for a night."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She nods and gives the boy a breif kiss to the lips "Let me know when you're ready. If anyone can help you.. It's Mnemosyne. I trust her."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He nods a little bit, returning the kiss in a surprisingly daring move for him. "I trust her, too."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She leans against the boy with an arm still around his waist. "When you're ready, we can go camping. It'll be lovely. We can build a big fire.. and dance in the woods. No one will be there to bother us." She gives a coy grin to the boy and a wink.

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He nods a little, the innuendo seemingly to fly over his head. "That'll be nice. I-I'd like that."

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She gives a soft laugh, squeezing his waist "I should get some sleep. We open early tomorrow to make up for being closed today. You should sleep too. It's late." She leans in for another kiss to the boy's lips "Thanks for coming over. I love my present."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: He nods and kisses her back again. "I...yeah. Sleep...yeah, um. Should do that." The sun'll be up soon enough, and it's a long walk home.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: Alyssa walks over and opens the door for him ready to walk him out. "Try your robe on when you get home. If it doesn't fit, I can fix it for you."

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: "I will...th-thank you. I love it." He smiles softly, and moves to follow her out, to the front door.

Alyssa Kostapoulos [fate's kitchen]: She kisses the boy goodnight before locking him out of the restraunt. (annnnnd, g'night. *hugs* danke)

Paris Bennet [Fate's Kitchen]: ((G'night! *Hugs*))
