Text Cut: Alba <3

”Ze square eez a great place to people watch,” he was busying using a corkscrew to open the bottle of white. Had they been alone, he’d simply had used a charm to open the bottle, but alas there were too many non-magics around. He preferred red wine himself, but didn't have a problem with whites. This one, a white Bordeaux, was fresh and a bit on the sweater side. It would go well with the cheeses and strawberries he had brought for them to nibble on. After producing a glass from the picnic bag, he poured Alba a glass and handed it over to her. Normally he would have waited for her to try it before pouring himself a glass, but he really needed a drink.

So pouring himself a glass, he answered her question. ”Too many ears around befair.” Sure, there were lots of people around the fountain, but it was less likely to be overheard here than in the Ministry. Also she worked in the Minister's Office area. To be overheard discussing international politics in the Minister's office with someone other than the DIMC Head, Undersecretary or the Minster? Yeah, that wouldn't go well for him. If Alba was going to spend time with him, she’d need to learn a few non-magical tricks for not being overheard without magic. It was funny, if you thought about it. He knew she had after all, spent a lot of time in the muggle world. ”Thengs at 'omé 'ave been tense and aye am not sure 'ow much la Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France wants the information getting oot.” AKA he was telling her this information and she needed to keep it to herself. He didn't feel the need to voice that however. If he didn't trust Alba, he wouldn't be here sharing a bottle of wine.

He took a sip of wine as he looked out over the square. He was quiet for a moment. ”Parts of Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, even the Pyramide du Louvre ‘ave been defaced with non-magiques graffiti.” To deface those highly visual and heavily visited landmarks were bad enough, but to add the hate movement behind it was worse.

"I'm fine with either red or white, but I prefer white." There it was true, maybe that didn't make her a real wine drinker, who knows. "So what was all those one word answer about?" There no sense in beating around the bush, she wanted real answers, and no his push her away answers. They had broken through this barrier before, and Alba was not afraid to push him a little now that they are in a more 'private' locations. ”Ze square eez a great place to people watch,” he was busying using a corkscrew to open the bottle of white.
