(( Haa, I thought it was later in the day, my bad. ^.^;; That sounds like a good plan.))

"My family has a house in Japan, and my grandparents on my mom's side actually live with us there," she told Thranduil. "When we're in the UK, Dad's folks have a larger place, and they say it's rather lonely with just them, so Dad and Oka-san didn't see a reason to purchase another house. Besides, Dad's often off on digs and stuff, and he hates Apparating, so a lot of the time it's just Oka-san and me.

"Mahoutokoro? Well...It's really lovely there. The school's on a volcanic island, and since the kids too young to board are flown in on giant birds, you get to see it every morning and evening. A lot of the palace is made of white jade, and it's really fancy. Other than that, it's not so different from Hogwarts, in a lot of ways."

Oh, she'd messed up. "Erm, I meant breakfast. And if you want it to be just us for lunch, that's fine, MAgnus," she added, a bit more quietly. Kat felt so very flustered, though this time her blush was faint -- until the other boy's laughter made it worse. "Ooh, antiques? We should definitely check that out later." A change of topic, yes please!

"Lets go get food then. Don't know about you, but I'm 'ungry."

"Las Palmas," Magnus read outloud, "sounds like lost palms... which wouldn't make sense cos 'ow could you loose a palm tree? Wonder what they 'ave?"

"Breakfast tacos?" he asked incredulously. To himself he thought there was no way he was snogging the man--mistletoe or not. The boy wasn't really sure how adventurous he was but even if it sounded completely balmy he was still intrigued. "Alright, gemme one full English Breakfast..." he paused because if they weren't from England they'd not know what it comes with...or would they? "That's bacon, fried eggs, fried tomatoes, bangers, toast and baked beans. And chuck one 'o them weird breakfast tacos in the mix too. Oh, and some English breakfast tea if you got it--if not Orange Juice please. "

"Er..." He'd never had food from any of those places that he knew of. He'd had taco bell before but he was pretty sure that didn't count, plus he never put extra sauce on it. "I fink mild on the spice please. As I ain't really 'ever 'ad lots o' spicy food so don't know 'ow I'd fair, but I guess I can try it. Whatcha got to drink then?"

We have a list of juices. Mostly fruits but we do have horchata and a malt beverage that is much like a non-alcoholic beer and sweet. Very popular with breakfast. We have soft drinks and hot butterbeer. Can I start you off with some bread?" Aquilino enjoyed this part of his job. The options are really endless.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/9kWOpcI.png[/img] "Don't forget to tell him about the pastries! He might want something sweet for his lady!" Alarico nodded at the boy and returned to the kitchen. The upbeat music could be heard in the sitting area and some house elves could be seen bobbing to the beat.[/color]

"Er...er.... I got about 'alf o' that... um..." he scratched his head at a loss of what to order. Both his parents had let him have alcohol in small doses but the only beer he'd tried was butterbeer. "OJ if you got it, if not, just pick somefing." This conversation was starting to take him way out of his comfort zone. "Yeah, bread will be good." He gave a smile to Katsumi. "She's capable of orderin' for 'erself and me dad told me never order for a woman cos men always get it wrong." Lunch would be his treat though he'd be happy to pay for breakfast as well--he knew Katsumi would likely object. After all she tackled him once already for buying art supplies.

(( sorry guys we are calling it a night...we will write again soon <3)

(( hope you are feeling better!))

"I agree, Magnus, we should go and eat,"Thrandul said, "before I fall over too. How wonderful !! What sort of snake is Dixie, and a mini llama..? I didn't know the had bred them down to a small size. " Thranduil smiled, thinking how cute it must be.

He looked inside the bag, and concealed his adoration of Kippers, so as not to wake it. "Adorable," he said quietly, but his eyes betrayed how much he really liked the kitty.

Thranduil listened attentively to Katsumi explain about her homes and school. "Do you holiday in Japan then, or mostly just visit now..?"

Thranduil's eyes got a bit of a dreamy look in them when she described the school.

"That sounds SO lovely !!! Being flown to school on giant birds..and the white jade...I could imagine the sunrise colors reflected on it, but I am sure I am romanticizing it, " he said, and laughed quietly.

(Raven, Fable, shylarah, )

Thranduil heard the man...wearing mistletoe..make a joke as they approached the restaurant. He groaned inwardly as they walked inside.

He was surprised that Magnus was ordering English food, the review said nothing about them serving that sort of food here, so it came as no shock that they didn't have what he wanted.

He already knew what he wanted, he had chosen when he had looked up the cuisines earlier. He looked to Snow to see if she was ready to order, but it looked like she was still deciding.

"I am buying," he said quietly to Snow, "so order whatever you want."

When it was his turn, he was ready with his order.

"Well, me dad bought the baby llama for me to er...eat when I did a club meetin' last term and allowed everyone to watch me transform into a un-wolfsbane potioned werewolf. But at the sight of the llama and learning 'e'd meant me to eat it...I started crying. So dad did a spell as to keep 'im baby-size and me friend Sam pottytrained 'im for me whilst I was in a coma cos I punctured a lung and my dad overreacted and gave me the draught of living death..." He looked down at his kitty. "She's awesome, Kippers, I never 'ad a pet before 'er. Dixie is a corn snake. I got a colour changing spell so she's always a different colour. Purple was...er...interesting." The boy laughed and shyly looked down. He was talking to much, wasn't he?

With the order placed Magnus stepped aside for the others to order. He still wasn't really sure what he ordered anyway. At least he knew what to expect at the Italian resturant.

Paddy flung things from her bag while she was searching for her permission slip. Cursing her lack of organisational skills, she finally discovered the crumpled sheet in the corner of her bag, hiding underneath her potions books. Running down to the entrance, she hoped she wasn't too late.

(OOC: I was going to write a really long rp, but the site decided to throw a load of 504 errors at me, so I'll come back to this properly tomorrow)
