Who: Louis Weasley & Lucius Malfoy
What: First.. meetings..
Where: A teahouse in Diagon.
When: 5 September, 1500.
Warnings: Potential grossness.

[ it's like he said, really-- louis isn't difficult to spot when he comes strolling up to the front of the teahouse. he's beautiful in a way that's clearly a little unnatural, and he deals with the considerable attention he receives from those around him by ignoring it. for anyone who knows much about veela, well, it's probably clearly a veela's supernatural draw.

he's smoking as he peers at the menu posted outside the building, long fingers ashing the cigarette with a gesture full of casual elegance, as if he doesn't even have to think about it. maybe it's just part of his nature, or maybe he learned a long time ago how to make his beauty a weapon.

either way, he's silent as he turns to lean against the wall to finish his cigarette and wait for 'armand'. ]

It's very different, [ he agrees, fingers curling faintly to stroke the older man's palm as he withdraws it. ] I'm quite adaptable, though, and I'm.. adjusting. Shall we?

[ he puts out his cigarette, opening the door for them both to step inside. he's quiet as they're seated, smiling charmingly at the hostess, ignoring the glances of the other patrons with the ease of long practice.

once they're left alone, he folds his hands neatly across the top of the table, long, well-manicured fingers lacing together. ] I don't spend much time in this country. [ again, not a lie. he works, goes to school, and lives in france now. the easiest fictions, after all, are the ones based in truth, and louis has a different face for everyone. ] To know that I am trapped not just in this time, but in a foreign country is.. troubling.

I imagine adaptability is an advantage in nearly every time period, and most countries. [ He's content to let Chante take the lead in this; no doubt that would surprise many who know him now - certainly those who knew the version of him in the future. And perhaps in part it's because he's grown accustomed to taking a backseat role in the last few years.

But equally, it's likely because he's curious how the boy is going to play this meeting. ]

It must be extremely disorienting. It's my hope that we'll be able to make you - and the others, of course - feel as comfortable as you can. Of course, we can't replicate Paris. It's been a few years since I've been to that part of the Continent, but it is an...intoxicating city, no?

[ His time in Europe had been spent in the northern part of Norway, at Durmstrang. Some time in Germany, some time in Romania. Only a little time in France, really, because his goals when he'd traveled Europe hadn't meshed with what was commonly found among the French. ]
