Welcome back to the Bachelor, Wizarding edition. Our contestants have been living together for the last two weeks getting to know our Bachelor and getting to know each other. With the final rose ceremony, last night and five more women headed home it is time for the individual dates. Each woman will get one evening with Allen on a mysterious date. The location of the date will be revealed as you are headed there by portkey. What type of date will your favorite contestant and Allen be going on? Could it be a day in paradise or a day conquering the slopes? It could be a new experience for both or maybe just a new one for one. Venture with us as we watch the love grow between Allen and the contestants and see if you can decide which will be getting a rose at the end.

Allen comes from a very close-knit family who have passed down their family owned greenhouse from generation to generation. O'Donnel Greenhouse serves the wizarding community to supply them with the best magical and mundane plants for their homes and garden. The Greenhouse has an experimental section where they work on cross breeding plants. O'Donnells is open to the public as well as schools who wish to bring students on field trips. They serve as a great internship for University age Wizards who would like to learn more about greenhouses and herbology. Allen's passion for herbology started at an early age. He and his siblings worked in the greenhouse from the time they could know how to water a plant. Allen is an easy going and fun loving man who enjoys the small things in life. At Hogwarts, Allen was sorted into Hufflepuff and spent most of his time either in the greenhouse or on the Quidditch pitch.
OOC: So this RP is going to be like the Bachelor TV show. If you wish to place a lady in here for this go right ahead and put the bio in. Once I get some bio's we will start the RP's.

Family: Father: Patrick Devereaux, Wizengamot member Mother: Ceridwen Devereaux, healer Older Brother: Conor Devereaux Younger Sister: Vivianne Devereaux
About:
Morgan is a distant descendant of Morgana, and as such her Animagus ability was never really surprising. In school, she was considered a bit of a rebel, with a fondness for Transfiguration as well as a sympathy for magical creatures. She had an aptitude for talking her way out of trouble as well, which easily developed into her ability to talk to people for her job, relating to them in a nearly uncanny way sometimes. To her mother’s chagrin, she has a dismal ability for healing, however close the family truly is. The one person who has always been in Morgan’s corner is her brother, and Conor is in fact possibly the one person she has been able to trust with anything, even to this day.

Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...
It is now the day of your special one on one date with our Bachelor, Allen. He has the portkey in hand and comes to the house door knocking and waiting for you to answer. As you open the door he is dressed in clothes appropriate for the day even though you still might not be sure what the day has in store.
It was the time for another one on one date and Allen was so nervous. He always felt nervous though. These six finalists were amazing and he felt connected to all of them in different ways. Why had this experience become so hard? He thought when he jokingly signed up to be the bachelor that he would know exactly the right girl from the start and it wasn't the case. As the girl opens the door he gives his best smile, "Hey, ready to go? I have the portkey right here." Pulling out the portkey from his pocket he moved more in front of the house and held it out for her to take.
Each girl will be on a different date in this thread. You can go ahead and post grabbing the portkey and being placed in that destination.
Fiona Brynn MacCullach:
Your portkey lands you on the Alps. The mountains are snow covered and you are led to a room where all your needed clothes and supplies are laid out for you. Enjoy the day skiing and having lunch at one of the best ski resort restaurants around.
Regina Watson:
Your portkey sends you to the streets of Andalusia, Spain where you can visit the many shops, watch a flamenco show, and have dinner at their very well know Tresculturas.
Morgan Elyse Devereaux:
Your portkey sends you to a stop where a horse and carriage awaits to take you on a tour of Kraków's Old Town. Cuddle up and see the sites with an ending dinner at Galicja.
Eleanor Viola Blane:
Your portkey lands you right smack in front of one of the well known thermal baths in Budapest. A changing room has a suit waiting for you. Enjoy the day relaxing with an ending dinner at Nobu.
Keely Ayana Primeaux:
Your portkey takes you to Iceland where you are going to start your date off with dinner at Krua Siam. You will dine and enjoy the sites until the evening where you will get to witness the Northern Lights.
Angelica Renee Dane:
Your portkey puts you right in the heart of Scottland. Take a hike in the mountains and explore the many castles. Your date will end with dinner at Fern Cottage.

swimming, and a dinner at the beach.

Ellie was super nervous and giddy with anticipation. Ever since she had gotten the one on one date card with her breakfast tray earlier that morning her mind had been racing and she hadn't been able to sit still for more than a few minutes straight. What was she going to wear? What would be suitable for a date day to wear when she didn't know where they were going or what they were going to be doing together?
Ellie was also very aware as she got dressed in a light blue summer dress, and a comfortable pair of white sneakers that she wasn't the only woman vying to win Allen's heart. They were down to 6 now and Ellie felt like she connected with Allen and that they were compatible and she wanted to explore and deepen their relationship. Hopefully Allen wanted to do the same and that he'd show it today.
Pulling a blue-green shawl around her shoulders to complete her outfit Ellie picked up her large purse and went to answer her door at the sound of the knock. Opening the door and seeing Allen there Ellie's face turns into happy and bright beam as she steps forward to give him a kiss on the cheek in greeting. "Hi Allen! Yes I'm totally ready to go." To understate that she waves around with her purse a little in front of Allen's face before stepping out and locking door the behind herm and going over to place her hand on the portkey.
When Ellie looks around next she is standing next to Allen in front of a changing room in a whole different country. Curiously trying to take in the whole scene at once she asks with a glance to Allen. "Where are we Allen? I assume this isn't still Scotland?"
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Her makeup was on fleek. So were her dress (hugging her figure) and silver high heeled shoes. Regina curled a strand of her dark brown hair as she approached the door. The doorbell had just rang and she knew whom it had to be. The door was gracefully opened as she fastened a smile on her face. It was tough work when you were accustomed to smirking. "Hi there,'' she said, completely at ease and confident in herself.
My, my. Didn't he have such a dazzling smile?
"I am as ready as I'll ever be.'' Regina arched an eyebrow suddenly. "What? No flowers to greet a woman with?'' Her smile changed to a smirk as she closed the door behind her. Her brother, Phil, would have a fit if she left it open. She reached out a very well manicured hand to touch the produced portkey. "Let's go.'' The familiar lurch and assortment of feelings were felt when travelling by a portkey but Regina was quite used to it by now.
She opened her eyes when they arrived. "Wow. This is beautiful!'' But she still did not have any idea where they were. She wouldn't admit, however, since she didn't want to look stupid. Instead, she'd look around for an indication to figure it out. Regina was mesmerised by the cacophonous sounds emitting from the many shops around. There were persons shouting in Spanish (yes, she recognised it), sellers banging kitchen utensils and other products to attract potential buyers and music blasted here and there.
"What a sight, isn't it, Allen?"

So over the next week he, Allen O'Donnel was going to be going on different dates with each of the women left. This was exciting and really fun. The entire experience had been fun if he was going to be fully honest with himself. He was enjoying not only seeing if he was compatible with any of the women but just meeting them and getting to know them.
Even ones he hadn't gotten to know well before they left he had enjoyed their company.
Maybe he'd even admit that his sister putting him on this stupid dating game was actually a good idea.
Nah, he couldn't give her an ego boost that much.
Looking at the list of dates and when he knew it was time to go pick up his first.

Making sure to have on shorts and a t-shirt Allen showed up at the door ready to go. Smiling at Ellie as she walked through the door,
he couldn't help but enjoy her freckles and red hair. "You look beautiful today." Handing over the portkey he waited for her to take hold and waited for that awful feeling to hit as they moved to their destination.
Looking around he couldn't believe how breath taking it was. The dating game out did themselves this time, didn't they. "Well let's read the note that is signed to us." He pointed to a white owl that had a parchment with their names on it along with a white rose. Handing Elli the rose he opened the parchment and began to read:

There is a changing area that has suits for your choosing. At 6:00 p.m. enjoy a romantic dinner at Nobu before your portkey brings you back at 800 p.m. to end your day.
Well, that was something now wasn't it? He looked at Ellie after he was done reading them the note with a smile. "What would you like to do first?" Allen didn't mind doing any of it first. The sight seeing sounded fun, but those thermal baths looked very relaxing.

"What a sight, isn't it, Allen?"
Day two and date two were upon him and Allen was curious to see what he'd be doing next. It was all about the women and the dates of course, but he couldn't help but feel the excitement since he didn't know where they were going either. As he waited for Regina to come to the door his smile was always there when she entered. A more sarcastic woman of the group, she had kept him on his toes this entire time. He liked that,
and knew whereever they went would be a good time. "I do what the show tells me, I do apologize though it was rather rude to show up empty handed. Well not fully empty handed and lifted the portkey."
As the feeling came rushing back withthe zip of the portkey to their destination it took him only a moment to get his barrings. He looked around as if to figure out the next puzzle. That's when he noticed the barn owl perched on the small fence with a white rose. "I think he is for us." Pointing as he walked over and took the parchment with their name on it. Turning he lifted the rose, "For you my lady" before opening the parchment and reading what was inside:

"It seems like I may have come empty handed, but you will not be going back the same." He joked a little because with this many shops and things to see and buy he figured niether of them would be leaving without a few packages. "Shall we start walking and just look around or do you know Andalusia at all?" Maybe there would be something she was interested in seeing first. He had never been there so this was all knew to him and he was enjoying it already.

Oh? He was a fellow to follow by the rules? Regina did like that but she was always looking to spice things up a little. "Tell me, do you always play by the rules? Your apology is accepted but I do expect you to treat me to something nice wherever it is that we go on the date.'' Really, Regina knew she needn't tell Allen that. He was such a gentleman and she was sure he knew how to treat a lady.
Upon arriving, he drew her attention to the barn owl. Her face lit up in a gracious smile when he offered her the rose. "Thank you,'' she replied with a smirk. He gave it a sniff, enjoying the scent. Anything flora related was her weakness, being a Herbologist and all. She peered at the letter. How exciting! So many things to look forward to!
"I am rather looking forward to this. Shall we walk around first? I'm afraid Andalusia is one of those places I've never visited before. Have you? Prior to now, I mean.'' Oh yes, she did have one request. "Before we go ahead, would you mind helping me tuck the rose into my hair?''
Keely had only signed up for this bachelor thing as a laugh and because she was bored, hoping to get an adventure or some prizes out of it. But also because she liked competition and she wanted to win. She was the youngest and clearly the hottest one here, and she initially wasn't sure about this Allen fellow, though she put on her best face for the game. And she was doing a damn good job of it to get her this far. He was quite a bit older than her too and she wasn't sure they had all that much in common.
But the longer she stayed in this process, the more she felt like she was connecting with Allen. Maybe she wasn't faking it as much anymore. And she was rather excited to see where this final date was going to be. Surely it would be somewhere amazing.
And though she had been given no clues on how to dress for the evening, Keely was no stranger to fashion. She put on a stunning dress and took extra time with her hair and makeup. She was ready and she was fire. And just in time because there was the door.
"Hi, Allen," she smiled sweetly as she opened the door, her eyes first taking him in before looking at the portkey. "Let's do this!" She grabbed a hold of the portkey and felt the pull and lurch before stumbling a bit upon landing. Taking a moment to catch her breath, she looked around. Where were they?

A string of failed attempts at getting into a relationship over the past several years, along with her general sense of adventure, had driven Morgan to try out for the reality show. Besides, if anything she figured she was getting material if she wanted to write a story about her experience later. Not that this was her usual source material, but it was definitely in the back of her mind. Buried far behind the part of her mind that realized she was actually enjoying the experience. She was enjoying getting to know Allen, and she even occasionally felt like she enjoyed the presence of the other girls. Not that she hadn’t taken advantage of her ability to get away every once in a while when things got frustrating.
Needless to say she wasn’t in her cat form now. Instead, not knowing exactly what to expect on the one-on-one date, she’d put on a sparkly dress accented by black shoes and a black leather jacket that oddly made her hair seem that much darker. Dressy enough for dinner, but the jacket kept it casual enough for anything else. She felt like she might be making someone proud, she just wasn’t sure who. Probably not Conor though. Her brother was probably amused to no end at the sight of her doing something like this, and Viv probably was too distracted by her studies to know. And, to be entirely honest, she felt like she was relatively overlooked by her associates at the magazine.
Maybe it was the attention that was intriguing her, but that wasn’t what had put a smile on her face as she heard the knock on the door and opened it to see Allen there. “As ready as I could possibly be,” she responded lightly. Considering the mystery as to where exactly they were going. She wondered if he knew, or if he was just as in the dark as she was. Either way, she stepped forward, shutting the door behind her before reaching the hand not holding her purse out to touch the portkey, feeling the familiar and still not entirely enjoyed lurch as they were transported.
At least her cat-like qualities came in useful, as she landed on her feet, barely wobbling in the heels she was wearing, in front of, of all things, a horse and carriage. “Ours?,” she asked, only the smallest hint of humor to her voice. For the most part, her Gryffindor adventurousness was coming out more, and she couldn’t imagine why the carriage would be there if it wasn’t for them. All that was left was finding out where they were going in it.

He was such a gentleman and she was sure he knew how to treat a lady.
Upon arriving, he drew her attention to the barn owl. Her face lit up in a gracious smile when he offered her the rose. "Thank you,'' she replied with a smirk. He gave it a sniff, enjoying the scent. Anything flora related was her weakness, being a Herbologist and all. She peered at the letter. How exciting! So many things to look forward to!
"I am rather looking forward to this. Shall we walk around first? I'm afraid Andalusia is one of those places I've never visited before. Have you? Prior to now, I mean.'' Oh yes, she did have one request. "Before we go ahead, would you mind helping me tuck the rose into my hair?''
These streets were busy and even though Allen had been on busy streets before, this was something to see. He just stood there looking around before looking back at Regina. "No I have never been. I think it will be fun and there are plenty of shops to look at." Offering his hand before they headed down. "Where is your favorite place to travel?" While they were shopping he figured he should get to know her since she was one of the final contestants and all. He had liked his time with Regina, she was different and a bit edgier in ways, but there was something else about her.
Thankfully he had dressed for walking and his tennis shoes were fitting very nicely, but he did stop in front of the first cute little shop that seemed to have different nicknacks in it. "Shall we check it out?" He would need to figure out what she was really into if he wanted to pick the correct shops for the day. Though with as many as there seemed to be he was sure they'd find something they'd both agreed on or just took turns.
"This city is beautiful, the landscaping is nice to look at." This game had great taste in date spots that was for damn sure.

And she was doing a damn good job of it to get her this far. He was quite a bit older than her too and she wasn't sure they had all that much in common.
But the longer she stayed in this process, the more she felt like she was connecting with Allen. Maybe she wasn't faking it as much anymore. And she was rather excited to see where this final date was going to be. Surely it would be somewhere amazing.
And though she had been given no clues on how to dress for the evening, Keely was no stranger to fashion. She put on a stunning dress and took extra time with her hair and makeup. She was ready and she was fire. And just in time because there was the door.
"Hi, Allen," she smiled sweetly as she opened the door, her eyes first taking him in before looking at the portkey. "Let's do this!" She grabbed a hold of the portkey and felt the pull and lurch before stumbling a bit upon landing. Taking a moment to catch her breath, she looked around. Where were they?
Allen smiled as she came to the door. He would be lying if he said the age difference hadn't been something he thought about, but they were both adults so if she didn't mind it, he didn't either. Keely was someone he could see an adventure with, someone that kept him on his toes in a different way than the other girls and he was looking forward to having a day of one on one time with her.
Feeling the portkey take them and landing on his feet he looked around. Not recognizing the place he looked around for the familiar owl and rose, but at first he didn't see it. Had they landed in the wrong stop? Soon though he heard a hoot and turned his head. "Ah, there will tell us what's going on for the afternoon." He walked towards the owl and took the rose, "For you" he gave her a smile before reading the letter:

Just be at the boat for your private tour and to see the Northern Lights.
He looked at the letter a moment more before his eyes moved to glance at Keely. [b] "Looks like we are to head to a dinner reservation, shall we?"[b] He offered his arm so they could stroll down the street to find this place to eat.

Coming to this date Allen thought about his moments with Morgan through this experience. She was a very pretty woman and a bit calmer than the other, but still a side of adventure that he enjoyed. As he placed his hand tighter around the portkey and it took them to the destination he couldn't help but feel excitment more than nerves. He had been on a few of these dates already and all had been amazing so this was going to be just the same. He couldn't wait to figure out what they were doing.
As they landed he looked around at the carriage and then at the rest of the area. Where were they? The hoot of the owl brought him back to the carriage and he let go of the portkey to take the rose and the letter. "A rose for you." Smiling at Morgan before opening the familiar letter:

Wow, this was again another great date. He lifted his hand to help her into the carriage. "I guess we should get started, your carriage awaits madam." He couldn't help but have a hint of a grin to get to say those words as he helped her into the carriage and settled next to her. The seats were very comfortable and how convenient a blanket if they get chilly on their ride.

Regina was definitely in agreement and she bobbed her head, her dark hair blowing in the breeze. She took his offered hand, a smirk playing her lips. She settled her hand against his, realising how comfortable and at ease she felt with him. "The Amazon forest,'' she replied with hesitation. "There's so much flora there and its always fun to explore there with my brother and his team. It's a Herbologist's dream come true even if there are mainly mundane plants there. It's a wonderful place to be.'' The way Regina spoke, in a soft and fond tone, it was easy to tell she was passionate about her profession and the said Forest.
She came to a stop with him, eyes following his towards the shop which seemingly sold a variety of things. "Why not?'' Her interest was piqued. Since it did not sell just one set of things, she could treat this as an exploration. In other words, get to see different items.
"It sure does. The city and scenery interests me more than the people.'' Regina was one for natural or made-made objects but never for people. Most of them annoyed her.

Angelica had heard about the bachelor auditions while on a trip to London to visit her sister, and she'd decided to try her luck. Her entire family thought she was nuts for signing up, and both of her sisters had tried to talk her out of it. Aminta warned her not to put her heart on the line, and Dory scoffed, calling all reality shows stupid. But that hadn't stopped Angelica. If there was even a chance this would help her finally find her Prince Charming, she had to try!
Now there were only a few ladies left, and Angelica couldn't help but feel proud of herself for making it this far. She was already falling hard for Allen, and most of the women left in the competition (with maybe one or two exceptions) were very nice. If she didn't win Allen's heart, at least she'd have a few new friends from this experience.
She had no idea what to expect for this date, so she'd tried to prepare for anything. She chose a pink floral dress appropriate for dinner but paired it with leggings and a pair of sensible shoes, just in case. Her hair was styled in a braid with a pink flower hairclip, and she'd kept the makeup and jewelry simple. Did she look alright? Before she had much time to second guess her appearance, there was a knock at the door. That must be Allen!
Angelica took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach, as she opened the door. "Hi, Allen!" she said. She smiled shyly, tucking a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear. She nodded in reply to the question. "Of course. I can't wait!" And she wasn't going to!
She grabbed hold of the portkey, and her stomach lurched a little as she was transported away. She stumbled upon landing and had to take hold of Allen's arm to stop herself from falling. "Sorry, sorry!" she exclaimed, letting go as she realized what she'd done. Nice job, Ann! she berated herself. Now he probably thinks you're an idiot! She took a look at her new surroundings. "Are we still in Scotland?" she asked. Because it looked just like it if they weren't!

She had him at Amazon Forest. Why hadn't he ever been there before. They walked the street hand in hand and he was enjoying himself. This was fun and he was really beginning to like Regina, though he felt that with a few of the others as well. He really was hoping something would click with one of them, but there was still time and plenty of dates.
Right now he was going to enjoy just this one. "That sounds amazing.
I would love to see all the plants that are there." It was his career and livelihood to know the plants and appreciate them. "You'll have to come see my greenhouse. We've been expanding it for the past few years." Always making new areas, there was something to build all the time. He liked keeping up on things and his siblings felt the same way which was good.
Glancing over at her with a smile at her reaction, "Just making sure. We can go in which ever shops you want." He planned on spoiling her a bit during this trip, but he liked spoiling people, especially people he liked. As they moved down the street he continued to look at the area and buildings around them.
"What about this one?" They needed to start somewhere so why not start with a clothing store.

As she started to fall and grab his arm, Allen clutched her close to help her not hit the ground. He smiled as she started to apologize,
though he didn't let her go. "It's quite alright. You don't have to apologize, are you okay?" She hadn't been injured he hoped. He didn't want to end the date before it even got started, but her safety was the most important thing.
Once he got her on her feet he glanced around. He knew this area, it was breathtaking, but he knew it. "Scottland" where exactly was the quesiton, but just as he thought it he saw the owl. "He must be witing for us. This is for you." Taking the rose out of the owls sling he handed it to her before opening the familiar letter.

"Well I hope you have your hiking boots on." He grinned at her as he pulled his wand. He certainly hadn't grabbed his so transfiguring his shoes was going to be the next best thing. He offered to do hers before extending his hand to get started on their hike.

This was certainly nice. Had Regina remembered what it was like to be hanging out so casually with a guy, she'd have gone on more 'dates'. As it had been, she only had played guys as serious relationships hadn't been her thing. Herbology had (still is) been her life. But now she was growing older and she realised she did want to settle down. And she did want a daughter, a cute one like her niece Rachel.
Regina smirked. "Whatever the outcome of this competition, you're welcome to join me there whenever my brother and his team head back there.'' She jerked her head at him, coming to a halt completely and turning to fully face him. "You have a greenhouse?'' she squealed excitedly. You see, there was nothing like plants to make her happy. "Tell me all about it! Are there rare plants? Mundane ones too?''
The woman cast a look at the shop. "Clothing. You've discovered another passion of mine.'' Grinning, she pulled him with her and into the shop. "What's your style?'' She was usually one for skirts and pretty blouses.

"Iceland? Hmm, how interesting," she said once Allen finished reading the letter. "Have you ever been here?" She hadn't been here herself and she'd admit only to herself that she was a tad disappointed that they weren't doing something a little more exciting. But it definitely was a new experience so maybe she should give it a chance. It could prove worthwhile, plus the Aurora Borealis sounded interesting. That would be a must see.
She took his offered arm and glanced around the town a bit. "Dinner sounds good. I could eat." She did expect dinner since their date was scheduled at around that time so she hadn't eaten anything and was starting to grow hungry. "I wonder what the local cuisine is like.." Probably seafood, but it would be interesting to see if they had any specialties.

The fact that her, albeit rather facetious, question hadn’t exactly been answered had not slipped past Morgan’s notice. Nor did the rather successful sidestep Allen had made by bringing the owl and his cargo to her attention, however. It nearly excused the other, and she had smiled back at him as he offered her the rose. “How lovely,” she commented, idly twirling the stem between her fingers as she listened to the message that the owl had delivered. The trip had certainly not been any rougher than any portkey trip ever was, but she gave points to whomever it was that wrote the messages for their concern. Plus, there was the fact that whatever nerves she had felt before the date had essentially disappeared now that they’d arrived. There wasn’t any turning back now.
“Have you ever been here before?,” she asked conversationally as she took his offered hand to step up into the carriage, settling down easily and arranging her skirt so as not to risk any mishaps as he’d settled in next to her, not needing the blanket quite yet. She’d thought she’d done a lot of travel with her work, yet she couldn’t recall being to Kraków ever before. It only made her that much more intrigued as to what they were going to find while they were there. Especially as she wasn’t there for business this time around, she felt she was allowed to enjoy herself.

His smile grew more as she looked surprised by the fact he owned a greenhouse. It wasn't a secret and was part of his profile. "Well it's family owned. My grandparents started it as a small greenhouse. It is now one of the biggest in Ireland. We have mundane that we sell to muggles and wizards, but then the back section is all our magical. We have experimental as well. We do tours for schools and give back to the community by planting so many a year in different places." He was proud of his family's work. "Thank you for the offer to come with you to the forest. I will certainly keep that in mind." Who knew if this went well maybe it would be the first trip to meet her family or something.
As he was pulled into the shop he looked around. "Glad the date is going well then." Chuckling at his own words he did have to stop and think a moment at her question. "I like to be comfortable, but professional." That was probably the best way to put his style.
"I have a crazy idea, lets go off in two different direcitons and pick out something for each other to wear." That might be fun and an interesting way to see if they could figure each other out.

"Yep, Iceland" Was she okay with going on this type of date? He didn't know any of the girls too personally but he had hoped she would be okay doing something like this. Keely to him seemed like a city girl who enjoyed dinning and shopping on the same street. He had fun with her and hoped this new thing would be fun too.
"Now I haven't, but the northern lights sound very romantic." Was that weird for him to say? He tried not to think too much about it as they walked to where dinner would be. Opening the door for her before following in and speaking to the hostess. This was a nice place. "My guess fish, everything fish." He laughed jokingly knowing it probably wasn't all fish, but probably close.
"Do you like wine Keely?" He'd order that first if she did as they looked through the menu.

It nearly excused the other, and she had smiled back at him as he offered her the rose. “How lovely,” she commented, idly twirling the stem between her fingers as she listened to the message that the owl had delivered. The trip had certainly not been any rougher than any portkey trip ever was, but she gave points to whomever it was that wrote the messages for their concern. Plus, there was the fact that whatever nerves she had felt before the date had essentially disappeared now that they’d arrived. There wasn’t any turning back now.
“Have you ever been here before?,” she asked conversationally as she took his offered hand to step up into the carriage, settling down easily and arranging her skirt so as not to risk any mishaps as he’d settled in next to her, not needing the blanket quite yet. She’d thought she’d done a lot of travel with her work, yet she couldn’t recall being to Kraków ever before. It only made her that much more intrigued as to what they were going to find while they were there. Especially as she wasn’t there for business this time around, she felt she was allowed to enjoy herself.
She was interesting and he didn't know whether to take her comment about the rose as sarcasm or meant in a way of it was lovely. He didn't think about it too long as he got up in the carriage next to her. "I haven't, so this will be fun." He really only traveled for work so many of these dates were known to him, which was fun and exciting.
As the carriage started he looked around. "The view is very nice." This old town had great landscaping and the buildings were nice too. Leaning down he pulled out two glasses and offered her one. "There seems to be a blanket as well if you are chilly." He was comfortable for now, but didn't want her to get cold.
"If you see any shops or places to stop and look at let me know." He'd happily tell the carriage driver to stop.

SPOILER!!: Allen! <3
[QUOTE=Bazinga;12244625]His smile grew more as she looked surprised by the fact he owned a greenhouse. It wasn't a secret and was part of his profile. "Well it's family owned. My grandparents started it as a small greenhouse. It is now one of the biggest in Ireland. We have mundane that we sell to muggles and wizards, but then the back section is all our magical. We have experimental as well. We do tours for schools and give back to the community by planting so many a year in different places." He was proud of his family's work. "Thank you for the offer to come with you to the forest. I will certainly keep that in mind." Who knew if this went well maybe it would be the first trip to meet her family or something.
As he was pulled into the shop he looked around. "Glad the date is going well then." Chuckling at his own words he did have to stop and think a moment at her question. "I like to be comfortable, but professional." That was probably the best way to put his style.
"I have a crazy idea, lets go off in two different direcitons and pick out something for each other to wear." That might be fun and an interesting way to see if they could figure each other out.
Regina was impressed. Not many persons impressed her so this was a huge feat, Allen. Be proud of yourself. The fact that his family also gave back to the community is was did it. That was quite the generous, selfless family. This was important as there was no way that she'd want the guy she fell for to have a selfish family. Hold on. Was she falling for Allen? Feeling slightly confused, she said, "You're welcome. I guarantee you will have the time of your life. My brother is fun to work with. As is my sister in law. My niece is still attending Hogwarts but she joins us occasionally on the trips. You would not believe how brilliant she is! A bit too girly for my taste but I love her.'' Anyone listening to her would realised how much she adored her family.
"Comfortable but professional...'' Regina repeated. She liked that; it was sensible. Her eyes lit up at the challenge and yet another smirk graced her lips. "I love this challenge. Shall we meet right back here in... let's say ten minutes?'' A time constraint should make things more interesting.
