They do indeed. We'll go ahead and order some for you, then.
[Even he might feel like celebrating with something sweet for a rare change. Maybe. Either way, he signals for a waiter once one happens by, placing the order along with tea for two and a light sandwich for himself. He hasn't eaten in a day or so and thus could use something of substance. And thankfully he still has his hidden money pouch on him, which should be enough for them to afford a few meals until he can hook them up with more funds.
Luckily for them, it doesn't take long for their order to arrive, with Vanitas carefully pouring them both drinks before sitting back to watch Noé as his precious tarte tatin is placed before him. Even he has to admit it smells nice if nothing else.]
[He all but beams, excited as Vanitas confirms they do have his particular favourite. At least it is rather quick to arrive, and he sips his drink after thanking Vanitas and the staff before he lights up at the sight of his dessert. He claps his hands together and savors the sight for a second before reaching for his fork and trying some. There's an appreciative hum he gives and a delighted expression as he tries it, enjoying the treat immensely.]
[Despite himself and their risky situation still, Vanitas can't help appreciating Noé's sheer happiness at something so simple. It warms his heart to see someone so delighted, and all because he spent a little money treating him. Well worth the price of admission, as it were. So he digs into his own food carefully, mindful of his gloves and making a mess while still watching his companion savor his treat.]
[He exclaims in between bites, and even offers some to Murr, who turns it down, but remains next to the vampire on the seat with him for now. It really doesn't take much to distract or excite him. Probably in part due to how sheltered he has been for the most part in his upbringing, at least with the exception of the period where he was trafficked. He seems content enough sitting there and eating his dessert, sipping at his drink happily.]
[It's a nice change, to be out in the open and not stuck in a room, however big and nice it was. A prison is still a prison, after all. But surprisingly, Vanitas finds that he even enjoys having Noé present to keep him company. Vaguely, he worries about the lengths they might go to in order to get him back, but, well, if push came to shove, maybe he could bargain with Noé's safety. The guy might not even get what's going on.
So Vanitas digs into his food, savoring it slowly, politely, only answering once he's finished chewing.]
Delicious. It's amazing how something so simple can taste so good.
[Between the treat of dessert and that he's somewhere new, Noé is far too distracted and excited to really overthink things too much at the moment. He's not immediately considering that the others are likely panicking and scrambling once they realize that not only he, but Vanitas is also missing. He takes another mouthful, the fork lingering in his mouth as he savors it.]
Mm. This is nice, too. Seeing Paris! There's so many people!
Heh... Just remember we'll have to eat something else eventually, too. You can't have it all the time.
[Even if he might like to. Vanitas has the feeling he's going to need to make sure the other man doesn't overindulge in his favorite dessert while they're here in Paris. Because if nothing else, it's well known to their captors that he favors the treat, and such information might be used to track them. They need to keep a low profile, after all.]
Right? It's a huge city. There's always someone about, and always things to see and do. You won't be bored here, that's for sure.
[Which. He does. It just doesn't stop him from pouting at the reminder all the same. But he isn't necessarily considering that it might be a way to track them. If only certain places had his particular favourite, that could narrow down the options of where the others might look for them. He nods as Vanitas continues, though, watching people pass by and taking it all in as he sits and they eat.]
Yeah! It's so busy! So many shops and places to eat. So many people! The city is so different from being back with Teacher! I'm not sure where to start after we finish here...
[Besides the obvious of figuring somewhere to stay, anyway.]
[That pout makes him chuckle in spite of himself. It's cute, he has to admit. Even for as dweeby as Noé is, it's endearing on him. He doesn't expect the other to be thinking in terms of safety and escape like he is though. That's entirely his realm of expertise, he's sure. But so long as Noé follows his lead, everything should be fine. He gazes out at the crowd, skimming the people's faces for anything suspicious.]
This is the grandeur of one of the most wonderful cities in the world. There's a lot for you to learn, so we can take our time and explore. ...but first we'll need to get you some different clothes. Yours stand out far too much.
[Then they can worry about accommodations. He knows of a little back alley hotel that should suffice.]
[He glances down at his shirt and waistcoat, the pants and boots. It doesn't seem that fancy or anything. But then, he supposes Vanitas has a point. It would be best to blend in. As much as a vampire can, anyway. At least he isn't wearing anything too unusual. Dominique could be thanked for that. But the clothes might be rather a giveaway if others were to come looking for them.]
I don't have any money on me.
[It isn't like he'd anticipated going out. Going shopping.]
You're a little too fancy. They took good care of you, the de Sades.
[They should really try to aim for something a little less froufrou, honestly. Vanitas knows that even he needs to tone it down since his style IS pretty distinct and recognizable. He doesn't like the thought of having to ditch any of his attire, but, well, needs must. The cloak stays, though.]
Not to worry. I know where to get some.
[Thankfully he has his secret stash that maybe canon will reveal eventually.]
Too fancy? Oh. I didn't think it was that much. Domi picked it out for me.
[So. Of course, he is oblivious. That and given he spent his time around Domi and his Teacher and such, he might have a skewed understanding of what people might usually wear. But he doesn't seem that upset. Noé is willing to change if he can find something else. As oblivious as he is, even he understands that he should try to blend in more.]
