"I've never been to an amusement park before, but it really sounds like fun! Moochi hates rollercoasters, but I would like to go on one! Maybe we can all go to the beach together soon!" he said as they went along, the forest starting to wane as they got closer to the city.

"Me either!" There was a bit of a skip to her step now. "Trel says she used to like rollercoasters, but grew out of them. Maybe amuzement park, then the beach? To let the water warm up a bit."
Relm did not fancy the idea of slipping into cold water and having... well something harden beneath her swimsuit top. She flushed slightly at the thought, thinking that just being around Keme might cause that reaction from her regardless. Still, no reason to force the issue.
"Not the same day of course. And we'll want to see who all would like to go to either or both. And how to keep Bubbles at home." The artist scowled at the thought as they entered the city.

Keme looked down at Relm and frowned lightly, "How is...she doing anyway? Getting into any trouble?" he asked, hoping Relm wouldn't get mad at him for asking.

If she did not know Keme was just being curious Relm might have gotten upset with him for asking. But part of why she loved him so was because he cared... even if that spilled over onto the beach audio. And even so she would not mind that as much if she did not know Gwen's mind when it came to Keme. Or any warm blooded, same sized creature for that matter. Her "sister" was anything but picky as long as she could have a good time. "Trouble? Not exactly. She's Bubbles."
Relm shrugged, not wanting to go into detail. The artist remembered that Keme had been fairly oblivious to Gwen's advances before & did not wish to let him know her "sister's" intentions. "I suppose if there was someone we could take who had similar... interests then she could join us." It was very clear that was not a favored suggestion, but she was trying. "But they had better not get us kicked out of the park."
Oh yeah... that would go over well. Relm could picture it now: the beach bunny audio & another getting-it-on on a bench or something in full view of kids & pups & the like. She whimpered & winced and tried to bleach the image from her mind while it was still not real.

Keme blinked his eyes, somewhat knowing what Relm was talking about and wanting to give Gwen the benefit of the doubt, "Well, we have a new sister in the family!! Her name is Dawn, but I don't know how much we will be seeing her if you will get to meet her, she is going to be going to school! Moochi already has plans to go out shopping for her school supplies! But I think you would like her, as long as you don't suggest she gets one of those bags with wheels!" he said in a joking manner, walking a bit closer as they finally walked into the city and it seemed alot more people were out now that the weather was better.

"A school-girl?" Relm bit back a snarky retort, shaking her head with a smile. "No. I'd rather not put the poor girl through a day with Bubbles. She's likely the type I'd want to protect from Bubbles. But she needs a school bag?" Her freehand -brush clasped tightly- went to her mouth thoughtfully. "I bet I can get the wizards to make a bag for her to carry all her supplies in. Like my pocket & Mother Hen's emo-bag-of-holding. They made one for Daddy's Girl to carry her potions lessons things in. I'm sure it wouldn't be any trouble."
Catching sight of the familiar red awning Relm quickened her pace, girlishly pulling Keme with her even as shehid her nervousness. Kaleb had said the magic was near undetectable, which was good because she did not want this shop to become a target for any reason.
There were some other customers inside at the counter as they entered, but the enegmatic old Russian gentleman smiled and waved to see the two audio enter the establishment. A wink of his shining eyes told them he would be with them momentarily. Which was fine by Relm. It gave her some time to gauge Keme's reaction.
And to see the changes for herself as well.
The mural when finished had depicted St. Petersburg in the height of winter, the few wandering people bundled tightly in long coats & furred caps to keep out the chill. Today, there was still snow but it appeared to have slightly receeded. The people were a little less bundled, and the sun shone bright and warm on the beautiful archetecture of the city. On the outskirts of the city, some animals seemed to have come out as if sensing the coming spring & the warmer weather just around the corner.
Anxiously, Relm looked away from the art that spanned all the interrior walls of the small cafe to watch Keme's brown eyes for signs of what he thought.

Keme nodded at the suggestion, "Yea, I think she would appreciate that, as long as the Weasley twins don't do anything 'funny' to her bag!" he said with a smile. He chuckled lightly when they got close to the shop and Relm started pulling him faster, but he certainly didn't mind. He looked to the mural when they stepped inside and his eyes twinkled in pride and love. Magic would probably be something he would never understand, but he loved to see Relm's works, especially this one and it changing with the seasons.

"The Bookworm would make sure they didn't." Relm automatically reassured her paramour. Her eyes were smiling, watching Keme's. "It works well... I'm glad." The pictomancer whispered for her companion's hears alone, leaning in close for the delivery. "I couldn't be sure... not until spring came."

He squeezed her hand lightly in his own, smiling down lovingly at her, "It's wonderful Relm. I doubt anyone could do such wonderful work like you." he whispered. Blushing brightly, he coughed and looked around for Mr. Petrov, curious to see how the older man was doing.

As the customers he was serving gathered their orders & found a seat Ivan Petrov walked to the two audio with a grin. "Ah! Tovarishs! It is wonderful to see you again! Please. Please come. Tell Ivan what it is he can do for you today. What is your pleasure?"
Relm was caught speachless... concidering what came to mind as her pleasure. All she could do was smile & hold onto Keme's hand.

Keme smiled when Mr. Petrov approached and he nodded his head to him, still smiling, "Hello Mr. Petrov!" he greeted. "Do you have any sandwichs and soup today?" he asked, feeling quite hungry for some reason. Could be he skipped breakfast cause Naruto and his Talaye version started a food fight and Keme refused to be around for clean up duty.

He laughed. "Da! Da! Of course! That is what I do!" Laughing Ivan Petrov gestured them to an empty table. "Come. Sit. I will get you what is special today. It is Borscht. The Soup. And sandwiches Da. da!"
Relm watched in awe, letting herself be led to a chair & seated, looking at Keme not understanding. Ivan hugged them both. "Thank you both." I will return. One moment."
The artist blinked at Keme. what was up with that?

Keme himself was a little confused about the older mans enthusiam, but certainly wasn't about to bring it down, in fact it made him smile. He held a chair out for Relm so she could sit first and then he seated himself, looking about at all the people in the shop.

"Keme?" Relm asked, sounding much more the child than she usually did. The Russian man's actions clearly throwing her for a loop her acting could not cover. She let him push her seat in & took off her gloves as he found his own seat.
In moments Ivan returned with two bowls of soup -the Borscht with its chunks of beef & ham, tomato, beats, cabbage, carrots, onions, peppers, garlic, prunes, turnips & celery bearing a hint of pepper, dill & parsley- and two thick sandwhiches made with sausage & cheese on thick slices of Ivan's fresh baked bread. These he set down, one platter before each audio before serving Relm her hot black Russian tea with sugar & a leon slice floating on top & Keme his iced chai tea. "There! How does that look, tovarishs?"
Relm beamed up at the man, dumbfounded. "It's wonderful, Mister Petrov. Absolutely wonderful."

Keme licked his lips at the food brought to them and he wagged his tail at his usual drink, not even Starbucks made and ice chai quite like Mr. Petrov. "It all looks fantastic, thanks Mr. Petrov!" he said, ready to dive into his food and dig right in.
