With much enthusiasm, Zekke led the way through the museum, walking backwards as he pointed out various paintings and sculptures. Over the years, he'd made many many trips - both mandatory and voluntary - to the museum and by now, could probably be considered an amateur museum tour guide.

It was strange, though, because the pieces he chose to highlight and the way he explained some things wasn't quite typical. Things that fascinated him were things that wouldn't really interest the typical tourist. There were no lectures on art theory or even art history.

Everything he explained somehow indirectly led back to 'magic' and how the muggles seemed to believe and not believe in it all at the same time. The magic of numbers, the magic of Da Vinci's paintings, conspiracy theories, the symbolism behind pictures and titles...

On and on they went, stopping occasionally to just sit around and take a break.

He had been a bit concerned that his companions would find everything boring and tedious, so he was pleased that the group seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Nadia and Ganymede seemed to be rather engrossed with everything being presented to them and asked questions and made their own rather astute observations as well and Jaren... well, Jaren was Jaren. From what he had gathered, Jaren wasn't too much of an 'artsy' sort of person; practical matters and ideas seemed to suit him much better. But despite this, he too followed along easily and Zekke figured he would make up for it later by a good game of tri-level tri-dimensional wizarding chess... or checkers... or chinese checkers.

He suddenly chuckled at the thought and wondered just how many activities he and the gang could fit into their visit...

ooc: Feel free to move their tour elsewhere and whatnot. Wasn't sure if anyone wanted to make any other comments concerning the Louvre, so I didn't move them just yet.

And the idea for tri-level tri/three dimensional wizarding chinese checkers came from the Star Trek fan in me that recalled a game of tri-level tri-dimensional chess game that Spock and McCoy had. *is a dork*
