When Lucian woke up the next night, he woke up on a train that was currently hurtling through the french countryside. The compartment that they'd been in that had every blackened cover on it that it could, was preciously paid for, and necissary for travel. He had a serious sun allergy, you see, and he couldn't even see the light or else he would die. Which.. was true. Alexei just had to play the part of the ridiculously concerned lover and hand everyone he could Lucian's money. It worked.

He gasped slightly as he sat up, awake. Blinking around in the dark, he found Alexei and smiled slightly. "We're nearly there, mon amore.." he purred, crawling over the boy's sleeping form, nuzzling his cold face into the boy's warm neck, kissing the line of his jaw. "nearly to paris. Then we get to get fitted for proper clothing, and then, my love..." He said softly, soothingly, smoothing his hair back with a hand. "We run rampant around Paris. The Eiffel tower, chocolates, oh, chocolates for you. And bread for oyu, the ebst you'll ever have... the flower seller." he smiled with a sigh. "You'll fall in love."

Alexei stirred awake slowly, Lucian's cold form nuzzling him from his slumber. His companion was whispering sweet things in his ear, he wasn't sure exactly what he was saying. At first he was confused, where was he? Sitting up, somewhat abruptly, he looked around the luxurious compartment, and suddenly remembered.

They were on their way to Paris! Paris, land of romantics and dreamers. Surely it couldn't be long before they arrived. It seemed like they had been traveling for forever, hidden during the day and immerging in the night as their fellow passengers were heading off to slumber. He'd always been amused by their confusion, and enjoyed the pseudo-charade.

"Lucian? Are we there yet?" He whispered in excitement. "When we get there, can we go to the Tower first? Please? And then we have to arrange a midnight tour of the Louvre, no?"

Lucian smiled when Alexei finally came around. he pressed kisses to his cheek, smoothing back his hair. "We'll be there within the hour" he said with a nod and a smile "And as soon as we arrive, we'll load our things into a carriage and head straight for the tailor. He's waiting for us, there, we'll get fitted and clothed, and then yes, beauty, we'll go for the tower." he smiled and leaned in, pressing a kiss to his lips, smiling all the while. "Welcome to Paris, my love." he said softly.

Soon after he'd leaned back again, the train halted and Lucian stood. He held his hand out for Alexei, helping him to tand "And so starts our adventure.."
