Sight Seeing

[Seth Makwa]

Seth loved to travel around the world and with a firm monetary base he was able to do so with out worry or fear of being stranded. This month Seth had transported to Paris so that he could study cooking from some of the best cooks in the world. Seth had been backpacking across the world as he tried to see the world for what it was worth before he settled down in one place. Seth had been given the day off and so he wondered up to a small cafe with outdoor seating and decided to have a seat and enjoy a cup of espresso and a light lunch before checking out the louve or to go for a swim at the hotel he was staying at while he was here. Unlike New Zealand , france did not have an great beaches and so Seth was missing the ocean and the surf but he still got a few hours in a day in the pool so it would due until he was off to his next location. Seth picked up a paper and hunted the ads for the week while he waited for his esspresso to be brought out to him.

Having fulfilled the day's errands,Irene entered a small cafe just off the corner of the busy Paris..Shrugging off from her summer cap,she signaled a waiter for a mocha cappuccino and a coffee cake for her lunch and made her way back to the cafe's outside seating..She sat herself across a guy she barely took notice as she waited for her order..She opened her copy of Daily Prophet,laying it smoothly on the table so that nobody would notice the moving photos which is the only difference between a Muggle and a wizard paper..

A few minutes later,the waiter placed down her order:coffee cake and an espresso?! Irene's eyes widened.."Excuse me??I think you gave me the wrong coffee..",she said,not noticing the guy across her looked up in her direction..

 

[Seth Makwa]

Seth was use to people in the city simply coming and going as they pleased and sharing space as if they had known each other all there life so it came to no big surprise that the charming woman sat down at his table without even a word to say hello. Seth did notice the paper though and a smmile spead across his rugged face as he realized that the woman had more in common than she realized as he too was a wizard not the greatest but one none the less. When the waiter came to the table that was the first time he saw the womans face and it made him smile a little more as the woman was beautiful in her own rights.

Seth had lived in france for a few months now and knew first hand what beauty the city held in all most all aspects of life and so the womans beauty did not stand out too much but that was not a bad thing for if he had met her elsewhere he most likely would have had her already by now. This though allowed him the chance to actually speak to the woman rather than attempt to sleep with her.

"I believe the drink is in fact mine and that the waitor was bring it too me." Seth smiled at the girl as he reached for the drink and thanked the waitor in french before turning back to the young woman.

Irene looked up in time to hear a soothing voice near her,"I believe the drink is in fact mine and that the waiter was bring it too me." She noticed him smiled at her which forced her to return.."I'm sorry..",she replied,turning to the waiter,telling him in french regarding her coffee which should come in pair with the cake he just brought..Turning back her attention to her paper,she noticed the guy looking at her..Rolling the paper of out sight,she smiled and held out her hand.."Sorry for sitting at the table with you,everybody else is full..Irene Meredith..",she added,introducing her name..

 

[Seth Makwa]

"oh your perfectly fine, you see in france everyone shares and there is little no hard feeling especially in this part of Paris. This place is the home to the true romantic and the birthplace of art!" Seth said as he took a sip of his latte and joined the woman in simple conversation. "What beautiful name for such a beautiful woman, you have good french and I am guessing you are american?" Seth said with a compliment as he looked up at a nearby balcony only to see a painter lost in his craft as he was painting the cafe itself in watercolors. "My name is Seth Makwa and I am from the states Hawaii to be exact, It is a pleasure to meet you!".

 

[Irene Holland]

Irene smiled as the waiter returned with her drink..Thanking him in french,she turned back her attention to the guy who introduced himself as Seth Makwa from Hawaii.."Nice meeting you Seth..",she replied,"What beautiful name for such a beautiful woman, you have good french and I am guessing you are american?" Seth said with a compliment as he looked up at a nearby balcony only to see a painter lost in his craft as he was painting the cafe itself in watercolors..She nodded,saying "Yes,I'm an American,now residing in New Zealand for work..And about my French??",she laughed,"I really have to master it since it is part of my job..",she concluded..

 

[Seth Makwa]

Seth bowedd slightly as the waiter brought the woman her drink and checked to see if he needed anything else which he did not and so the man went on with his work as Seth listened to his young female friend speak. The woman revealed that she was in fact american and was from New Zealand which seemed a rather common thing these days but he did wonder what the girl did for a living she did not seem olde enough to be a teacher and so she either was a shopkeeper or worked for the ministry. Seth took a sip of his latte as he smiled again at the woman who seemed nice enough and not at all stuck up or defensive talking to a complete stranger. "So what does a girl like you do for a living that you would need to become a master of french?" Seth said as he looked at the woman with a curious gleam in his eye.

 

[Irene Holland]

Irene smiled as the waiter asked for any addititonal orders from the two of them..When Seth shook his head indicating they are all set,she took a bite off her cake and took an occasional glance from her newspaper.."So what does a girl like you do for a living that you would need to become a master of french?" Seth said as he looked at the woman with a curious gleam in his eye..Irene noticed it and chuckled lightly..Waving her finger at him,she answered,"It depends on who is asking..",emphasizing on her tone that whether Seth knew about wizards would be a basis of her answer..Seeing as he already noticed that she was too young to be a teacher and would be wondering why she needs to be multilingual for her work..
