Temple of Ariadne, Atlantis, Monday Afternoon

[icecoldfrost]

With such an interesting location just off the shores of Fandom, Emma and Jack had decided it required exploring. For Jack, student of Sebastien, it was a chance at cultural anthropolgy that even his vampire had not been old enough to see. For Emma, well, it was utterly fascinating, and she had discovered that the roasted snake on a stick was delicious and nothing at all like chicken. Besides, there was shopping.

And as with most things with Miss Frost, her impulses came down to 'food' and 'shiny.' And 'mine.'

Between Jack's Greek and Latin and Emma's telepathy and skill at charades, they'd managed to get the locals to suggest some other diversions, and so they'd ended up at the Temple of Ariadne. Fortune-teller, oracle, or madwoman, the citizens had differing opinions, but it had been heartily recommended and they thought it sounded like fun.

"A queen with a castle of cards and father-figures," she said sourly, but couldn't help the quirk of her lips when he fluffed her not dirty.

"Perhaps all castles are built of cards," Jack said, smiling a bit back at her. "Do you think she says the bit about anger to everyone who looks about our age? I can't imagine why the Gods would care."

[icecoldfrost]

"Do we care if her gods care?" Emma quipped, reaching out to lace her arm with his.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack pondered that.

"I can't think of a single good reason why we should." A pause. "I'm not going to worry about ... anything she said. It's all shadows."

[icecoldfrost]

"She was creepy," Emma stated firmly. "I didn't even want to peek into her brain, and so I shall forget about the entire thing."

"At least we got a nice walk in the sunshine for today."

[bitten_notshy]

"And a taste of local culture," Jack said firmly. (He wasn't worrying about wolves. That would be silly. Right.) "Shall we get some dinner before I deliver you to your glamorous cabin?"

[icecoldfrost]

And Emma wasn't picking at her thoughts about father-figures or castles or cards. At all.

"I'd like that," she decided, trying to banish the last wisps of prophecy by smiling at him. "Did you have something in mind?"

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned back, setting aside any thoughts of claws in the darkness. "Oh, whatever strikes your fancy," he said airily. "Not snake meat, though, I';ve decided that much."

[icecoldfrost]

"But I hear it tastes like chicken!" she confided with a low laugh, eyes sparkling wickedly. "Perhaps we can find someone who is baking up fresh fish instead, or some salads."
