This Is A Race To The End And I Don't Intend To Win It Baby

[easily]

[Rebekah had never been on an airplane. They weren't in wide use before she was daggered back in the 20s. It's an interesting experience, to say the least, especially when her first one is a twelve hour flight into Athens.

But it's worth it. She can't help but be in awe as she walks into the city with Stefan. It's so different than the last time she saw it.

They are settling into their hotel room, and she finds herself still surprised they've managed it, for now anyways. Nik will find them eventually.

He always does.]

It was still the 19th century, last time I was here. [It's an observation more than anything else.]

[and with that, he'll go off to do just that.]

[easily]

[And she'll continue settling in, unpacking the few things she managed to take with her.]

[somanyadjectives]

[ten minutes later, Stefan will make his way back in with a map in his hand.]

There is a clothing store not to far from here. We could walk.

[easily]

Let's. It'll give me more a chance to see the differences in the city.

[somanyadjectives]

[he nods, before going to grab his wallet]

I also got a few recommendations for restaurants, if you're interested in grabbing something to eat.

[easily]

Lets. It's been a long time since I've had authentic Greek cuisine.

[somanyadjectives]

Me too. There's something about getting it in the states that isn't quite the same.

[easily]

It's never as good as it is in it's native culture. But that can be applied to almost any cuisine.

[somanyadjectives]

True. I miss being able to travel like this.

[easily]

It's nice to travel and actually get time to enjoy the place.

[somanyadjectives]

Things always seem to go awry when I stay in one place for too long.

[easily]

We were always too busy running from my father to ever stay in one place too long.

[somanyadjectives]

No one to run from now.

[easily]

[Except Nik. But she's not going to ruin the mood with that. Instead she smiles.] No. We can take our time.

[somanyadjectives]

[eh, Klaus is Klaus.]

See everything we want to see.

[easily]

Do everything we want to do.

[somanyadjectives]

Complete freedom. Or the closest we'll ever get.

[easily]

We should take full advantage, while it lasts.

[somanyadjectives]

I couldn't agree more.

[easily]

So do we want to eat or shop first?

[somanyadjectives]

I think we should work up an appetite.

[easily]

An excellent idea.

[somanyadjectives]

[extends an arm to her as he turns to head towards the door]

So shopping first, dinner after.

[easily]

[She takes his arm, smiling.] An excellent plan.

[somanyadjectives]

[nods and with that, off they go for shopping in Greece.]
