Who: Aramis and Belle
What: Getting drunk!
Where: Aramis' place
When: Friday
Warnings: Who knows

After Belle had agreed to come over, Aramis had rummaged around to find proper alcohol. Finding a bottle of scotch, he set it and a couple shot glasses on the coffee table in the living room. With that done, he went to wait outside for Belle to arrive, keeping a look out for a tall, strapping young man instead of a slight, pretty woman like he was used to.

	"Mrow." Was the very articulate response. "I like weddings, even if I don't know the people gettin' married." It's nice to be around people who feel that strongly in love. There are few things as wonderful at the contact high of telepathically touching two people in a moment where their minds are focused on how much they love each other.

	"Did you just meow like a cat?" That caused Aramis' eyebrows to raise and seemed to catch the attention of the dalmatian puppy sleeping on the floor. The puppy lifted her head and then stood, padding over to Belle, sitting at her feet with a curious whine. "Good to know you like weddings. Hey there, Lizzy." He reached over to scratch his pup behind the ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He chuckled. "That might be a little bit after your time." The dog got a pet from Belle as well. "Didn't think I was that convincin'." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Apparently so." He smiled fondly at the puppy. Lizzy wagged her tail, putting her feet up on the couch to try and get closer. "Lizzy, down." Aramis stated firmly, reaching over to push the puppy gently back down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Still in trainin', huh?" He smiled fondly at the dog. "They're worse than kids, sometimes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. She's a fast learner, though." He patted her side and she rolled onto her back, leg thumping a bit as her stomach was rubbed. "At least they can't talk back like kids." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Dieu. Nothin' worse than tryin' t' explain t' a bunch of kids that a backwater bastardized version of French will not, in fact, actually get them anywhere in life outside of the guild. I've wanted t' throttle more than my share of four year olds." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That made Aramis laugh. "Goodness. They have trouble grasping the concept of proper French?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 07:30 am UTC (link)
	"Actually, it's English we're teachin' 'em. Creole's my mother tongue, so t' speak. I only learned French years later, and only because I was the guildmaster's daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, well, English is hard to grasp. Mind, I wasn't able to speak it until I arrived here. Suddenly it just felt...right to speak English and not French." Aramis explained, shrugging. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Huh. Maybe the body you took over belonged t' someone who spoke English primarily?" He shrugged. "That is kinda weird, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"It is, isn't it? I have to think about speaking French and make the effort to do it now." He sighed a little. "Very strange but...oh well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. At least you still remember it." Now that he wasn't focused on his own misfortune, Belle was relaxing in earnest. "Be terrible t' suddenly speak a whole new language for no good reason." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, especially because I rather fancied French. But I guess I would have had to learn eventually, no? Better to be here already knowing than have to actually learn it." Aramis pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"That's true. Though if you weren't about t' marry a man who runs a tourist attraction, there'd be no real reason for you t' learn." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"There is that. I'm just glad I do, now. Though sometimes I pretend I don't to get the tourists to leave me alone." Aramis winked, grinning. "Nothing like a disgruntled Frenchman to scare them off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	He snickered. "Nothing like pretending to be a French snob t' make rich men fall all over you, too. Ah, the French, truly pioneers in the 'snotty, but sexy' category." He giggled, which sounded odd, even to his own ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Amen to that!" That got a laugh out of Aramis who grinned brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	He laughed and shook his head. "Didn't figure you'd disagree." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perhaps I shouldn't make fun of myself and my country but really...sometimes you can't help it. We don't exactly clear our names." Aramis commented. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, sadly. Though I'll be one of the first t' call Americans stupid and stubborn as well." He believes himself to be both of these things, so it makes it easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 04:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's because they are." He teased, grinning slightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"Shhhh." He said, his expression serious. "If you say anything worse I have t' report you t' the American Ass-Kickin' Agency, and they'll try t' topple the fascist French Government." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-09 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"The American Ass-Kickin' Agency?" Aramis seemed to actually take the other man seriously. Hey, he didn't know what the state of other countries after all. "Really?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-09 04:39 am UTC (link)
	He laughed. "Almost, but no. It doesn't exist, unless you go t' the more backwater areas. And then it's more like the American Drink and Curse the Damn Foreigners Agency." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
