Aldrich: I finally took the leap, I sent the owl to Violet Nott. Wish me luck, I'm hoping I can talk her into this.
Aldrich: I think the biggest hurdle is going to be the fact that she realizes she is only 20 and doesn't have much of a story to tell yet. What she's not realizing is that her whole story is just waiting to happen, she needs someone there to capture the moments.
Aldrich: I sound fucking insane, I have to. This is what I want to do though, so I guess I gotta buckle up huh?
Aldrich: What are you up to this fine Saturday?

"Hmm, I think it depends on where you're camping and if you have house elves," she said, voice warm with amusement. "Pretty sure Uncle Blaise doesn't skimp on those tings even in the middle of nowhere." She herself didn't have any problem when it came to compartmentalizing things and people. So the fact that they'd grown up around each other meant little to her, since she knew they weren't actually related.

Athena pressed the portkey between both of their hands, so neither of them could drop it. "Well, their loss, our gain," she said, and then just as the portkey sensation hooked behind her navel, she leaned up and kissed him, just so the sensation could be added to that of a kiss.

They landed moments later in Dolomites, Italy, just feet from one of the large lakes. He was grinning as he dropped the portkey, taking it all in for a moment. It was more beautiful than he could have hoped when he had just chosen the first portkey out of town.

"What do you think?" he asked her, turning his attention to Athena. Eyes were lit up, Aldrich was ready to race off into the water, or maybe start a hike up a mountain, he couldn't pick which. Hell, he was happy to just have lunch right there in that spot. He was certain no matter what they did, he'd find himself enjoying their first adventure date.

She took a moment to look around, smiling. It looked absolutely lovely, which was nice because taking random portkeys did NOT always end up like that. For all they'd known they could have ende dup in Siberia or the Rubakali. "I think," she said after a second, "That it's absolutely beautiful and that we ended up lucking out."

She grinned at him. "Come on, let's get to the water and dip our feet in before we eat. Work up a bit of an appetite," she added, perhaps a bit slyly, but she'd been busy lately, though she was trying pretty hard to not be as much a workaholic as she had been when establishing herself, mostly so she could spend more time iwth him and with Hailey. She wanted to start changing her priorities, she thought, and focus just as much on the people in her life now that her job was at least aimed in the right direction.
