W H O: Asteria Greengrass & Roger Davies
W H E N: Monday, June 16th, 2002
W H E R E: Rousillon, London, England.
W H A T: 2nd ~~date~~ Meeting
R A T I N G: E for Everyone.
S T A T U S: Closed / Complete

If anything Asteria was more nervous for this second meeting then she was for the first. In a weird sense, she was more nervous because at Rousillon, she was in her element. She loved this restaurant more then any other in the city...which, in all honesty, didn't make sense. Being in ones element was supposed to give you confidence, not make you worry more. She blamed her nerves on a certain Mr. Harper. She still couldn't believe he'd gotten her up on the bar. What a nightmare? She was still a bit shaky from that experience, invisible eyes had been following her all day and she just wanted them to bloody well disappear already.

After arriving at the restaurant she checked in for their reservation and waited patiently for Roger to arrive. Insane thoughts of whether he'd like the place passed through her mind as she toyed with a strand of her hair, a characteristic that came out when she was nervous. He hadn't sounded like he was disappointed in her choice when she had talked to him over the journals, but she supposed that seeing and hearing were too very different things.

When the waiter once again came up to ask her if she would like something to drink, she almost winced. Her head was still pounding from the night before, but despite this she did order a nice bottle of merlot. She did love the drink and perhaps Roger would like some over dinner. She wasn't about to deny him simply because she didn't know how to say no to her best friend.

She felt a bit of tension drain from her when he assured her that his own home was big enough. On top of everything else, she didn't want to have to deal with trying to find a new place that they both liked.

In regards to wedding size, it was a simple question for her, though she'd be willing to negotiate if he was opposed to it. "I'd prefer small, if that's not a problem. A larger wedding is going to be much more difficult to plan in such a short period of time."

"Small is good," Roger replied almost immediately, thinking of how the paparazzi would swarm at a larger function. He had a sneaking feeling that some photographers would manage to get in anyway, but a few was certainly better than the usual lot that enjoyed following him around at public events.

"I can't promise that there won't be some photographers there..." Roger said slowly, with a slightly sad look. "But I can hire security or something to try to keep them away?"

She hadn't really thought about photographers. She hadn't really payed attention to what would come along side being married to a Professional Quidditch player. She felt her anxiety spike for a moment, but caught it before it could get too far. "They do tend to be a bit bothersome, so I'm sure it won't matter if we have security or not. If it's small we can just keep the place and date amongst those who are attending." she responded, with a small smile.

She didn't want him to go through all the hassle just to make her comfortable. If he did that he'd never stop doing it and she'd never get any closer to managing her anxiety, not to mention he'd have his hands full.

"Was there a specific place you wanted to have it?" she asked, curiously.

With her anxiety freshly in mind, Roger decided not to point out to Asteria that he rarely told anyone where he was going to be, and the paparazzi found a way to be there anyway. They were fierce and smarter than most people gave them credit for, and more tenacious than people could imagine. But she'd learn all of that eventually, though hopefully Roger could shield her from most of it.

"There's a nice little church where my parents got married, but I'm up for anywhere. Really."
