A little pampering after a day of touring the city. The days ahead might prove to be dark, but for this day he would take a moment to breathe, and to spend time with a friend, learning more about the city that Sohalia had once ruled.

The second to last sweet disappeared in a few lingering bites as they settled on the last stop of the day and Hadama's smile flickered briefly to warm his eyes. "Reputable would be appreciated," he agreed, quiet laughter underlying his words. "A good meal. A good wine. And music, perhaps?" Though the last was optional, depending on where Lena recommended for the first two.
The plate with the last beignet was offered to Mittens, as promised, with a nod of gratitude for the snowball's restraint. Once Lena was finished with her own meal Hadama paid the tab and stood, regaining his map so that he could recognize the places that they passed on their way. "Shall we begin?"
