We'll always be good company

"To be honest, mon dame, my favorite activity so far has been relaxing under the sun,” he replied, grinning and gesturing at what he was doing at the moment. “Where have you been, then?”

"That is a nice thing. I'll have to try it more often." She grinned and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. "Oh, I had to go home for a little while, and then when I flew back I flew into Paris and just sort of ended up wandering around there for a few weeks. It was incredible!"

"…"

Yes. 

I better run. Thomas is probably mad I didn’t tell him. Oops. I’ll see you around Jenny. Love ya.

Ok! Have a great day Peter. 

"You’re welcome, mon fleur,” he replied, bowing his head slightly. Then, the man smiled at her and tilted his head. “I tend to be everywhere,” he replied. “Since I try to stay off the routine. That usually means more outside than inside, when at camp. How about you?”

"That sounds wonderful. So you try a little of everything then? Do you have a favorite activity? Oh, me? Usually more inside, although I've been trying to get out a bit more recently. I tend to be either reading or playing piano and the piano at least isn't particularly movable. Although I can't really say about camp since I've been away from here for most of the camp's duration."

I'm lost.

Are you all right? I couldn't hear what you said but you sounded upset. 

Thanks Jenny. Love you.

I love you too. 

“I have to admit, it was a wonderful experience. I may just do it again, given a good book”

"What book was it that you were reading this time?"

Lumiere kept shielding his eyes with an extended hand while he looked at Jenny, rather amused. “Why, thank you, mon belle fille,  for what I assume is a compliment. Nothing you’ve said has been wrong, at least as far as I’m concerned, even if you keep pretending it is. All these words have done is give your cheeks a beautifully lively color.”

"I...oh well, thank you." She smiled briefly, trying to relax all the way. And probably stop apologizing so much since that was clearly one of the things making her sound like an idiot. "So, do you come out here a lot? Or are you usually more inside?" 

Ugh why do you have to be so difficult. Um um um. Silly string!

Ok, ok. Silly string and fancy candy it is. Happy late Birthday Peter. 

Hawaii is the most beautiful place in the earth! You need to visit. You can do everything there! 

I plan to some day. I just haven't really had a chance yet. But I promise I will!

«

That's good. I've never been to Hawaii, but I've heard about how beautiful and warm it is. But your first day is exciting! Is there anything you want to try?

"You look queen-like to me," he replied. "More of the kind sort of queen than the ones that oppress their people, which is always a point in your favor," Lumiere concluded. 

"Oh, really? Well, thank you. That's very kind of you. You certainly look like you could be a prince or a king, whichever suited you best at the time." It was that charming smile and confident air. He clearly couldn't be anyone else. 

Yes, I´m from Hawai. And yes, Aloha means Hello and goodbey but I like more hello. It´s okay! My name´s Lilo.

It's nice to meet you Lilo. Welcome to camp. I've only been here for a little bit so I don't actually know it that well, but it seems really nice, although it's probably very different from Hawaii. 

Aloha?

Aloha? Are you from Hawaii? That means hello right? Sorry, I'm asking a lot of questions. My name is Jenny. 

Lumiere assumed the girl had been made slightly uncomfortable by the approach, causing her to step away slightly, so he kept hi hands to himself from then on. Even so, he still looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"Hm, no wonder the name never seemed to fit me. I'm not particularly queen-like." More, peasant like. But with fewer useful skills if she was entirely honest. Turning invisible and reading books weren't exactly winning qualities. But she found herself relaxing slightly at the calm smile. 

As the girl shook his hand, Lumiere was slightly pleased by the sight of a slight blush on her face. He raised her hand slowly and kissed the back of it in an old-fashioned manner, before releasing it.

`Jenny felt her heart flutter slightly at the brush of his lips. He most likely didn't mean it, considering that they had just met and this was her they were talking about, but it was still lovely. It sort of made her feel like a princess - or the society girl that she was supposed to be like and had always failed at being.
