"Looks like we're staying then." He smirked walking over to the bed and flopping down on his back. It was amusing that they would both rather be in a cheap love hotel than back in what was effectively their home.
"This place isn't too bad anyway. Well, not like I would imagine it to be."

She laughed a little and walked back over to the bed to stretch out on her back beside him. She stared up at a crack in the ceiling and smirked at his words. She could only imagine what sordid thoughts had probably gone through his head when thinking about a place like this.
"They're quite useful now that I think about it," she smiled and reached up to put an arm over her forehead. "Too bad they don't have any food though. I'm starting to get hungry." She fell silent for a moment, then removed her arm and turned her head towards him.
"What's Iran like?" she asked.

"Very convenient." He said with an amused shake of his head. At her question he gave her a sideways glance and smiled. "Interesting." He said turning onto his side. "Mountains, lots of history, beautiful mosques. Good food, a self destructive government and strict laws." He raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Which is a shame, otherwise I would reccomend it for a visit. What's Texas like?" He asked.

"Beautiful," she smiled. "Though where I live is not so beautiful if you're not fond of cities or flatness. But each part of the state is very different from the other, so you really can't get bored when traveling around. The food is so good and the people are in general very friendly. I highly recommend visiting it at least once. It's nothing like the rest of the states." True her memories were not exceptionally happy ones, but she did love living there.
"What was your favorite thing to do as a child?" she asked, shifting to lie on her side as well.

Ra listened to her and smiled.
"It sounds really nice." He said mentally adding it to his must visit list that grew longer with every person he met.
"When I was a child?" He asked to himself more than to her. "I liked to follow my grandfather around a lot. He sells and blends tea. I used to help him, though I'm not sure how much help I was." He smirked and got a rare twang of home sickness. He did miss his grandparents a lot. "How about you?"

"Um..." She was so sad. She had to really think. "I liked to help Rosario in the kitchen. She was my parents' cleaning lady. I couldn't understand her because all she spoke was Spanish, but I didn't have to understand her. She taught me all I know about cooking," she smiled rather fondly at the memory. "Other than that... I lived through my books. I have the best library back home."

Ra smiled and hated her family even though he knew he knew nothing about them. It was sad that her happy memories from childhood involved their cleaning lady.
"My grandmother taught me to cook." He said thinking of the kitchen back at his grandmother's house in Tehran, the centre of all household activity. "And my Aunt, the one that is in Newzealand. She was always hell bent on making me into the perfect future husband for anyone who'd have me." He gave a wry smirk and for the first time in a long time wished he could go back to those times. "I like the thought of having a library, it sounds really cool."

"Well... it's not a library library. But I've got three floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with any type of book you could think of," she smiled with a hint of pride. "Is that true though... about your aunt being hell bent on making you the perfect future husband? 'Cause that sounds like a lot of pressure. You know... to be perfect and all," she smirked and tried not to laugh.
"So what's your favorite dish to cook?" she asked.

Ra laughed at her question and grinned.
"You can laugh you know. I think it is hilerious." He admitted with a shrug. "Yeah, it is true ... well maybe not being perfect, but have an edge over other guys." He rolled his eyes, sometimes his family were so embarassing. "She said it is essential for men to smell good, cook and ... I forget the other things. As being male I only pretend to listen."
He smirked again and thought about her question.
"Persian stuff mostly, but I don't do it often. Last time I cooked was .... heh, Valentines for Chii." He looked down at the duvet. "That had been the best night yet also the sadest memory as it was the last time they had hung out before she shouted at him. "Heh, my cooking may be cursed. What do you like to cook?"

Obsidian couldn't hold her laughter in any longer and put a hand over her face. His family sounded so wonderful.
"My favorite is Mexican. Though if I'm in a mood for something a little more challenging, I'll go for Greek," she replied, noting the way he cast his eyes downward. She reached out and gave him a playful shove. "Don't dwell. It's not healthy," she smiled warmly at him, then turned to lie down on her stomach.
"Isa is going to be livid when I finally go back," she murmured, resting her head on her arms and looking up at him.

"yes Ma'am" He laughed as she shoved him and rolled back onto his back. "I haven't eaten mexican much. Maybe we should have a food exchange."
He smirked at the mention of her sister. That wouldn't be a fun exchange.
"Tell her we went to a love hotel. That would be amusing to watch." He said moving his hands up behind his head.

"I like that idea... both of them actually," she smirked. "I've never had Persian food before and I would love to cook for you one day. I'm quite proud of my skills." She let her blue eyes travel down the length of his lean body and smirked slightly. Considering their setting, it amused her as to how innocent this all was.
"I'm definitely going to have to tell her that now. The look on her face will be priceless. I'm sure I'll get a nice long phone call from the 'rents for it, but it would be worth it," she smirked and looked back up to his face. "Would you care to witness the oh so humorous event? Or will I be left to do so on my own?"

Ra laughed and thought about how much fun that would be. Although he hadn't really met the girl, even thinking about what she said irritated him.
"Yes, I'm in need of a good laugh." He said with a broad smirk. "I may even help you in the facade."
He turned his head a little to look at her and smile.
"If the rents are going to lecture you anyway may as well have some fun with it."

Laughing again, Obie pushed herself up a little onto her arms and looked down into his eyes. "I knew you had it in you. I know I said daring earlier, but rebellious would be more accurate. Even if it is my parents you're rebelling against and not yours right now," she smirked. She searched his handsome face for a moment longer then laughed a little again.
"And she was so certain that you would fall head over heels for her too. I could see it in her eyes as soon as she saw you," she laughed. She reached up and brushed some hair out of her eyes, then sat all the way up, careful to tuck her legs in a modest manner. She really didn't want to upset him again.

"Me?" He said with a smirk watching her as she moved. "She really needs to explore Aquila more." Stretching a little, he too sat up and looked over at the clothes.
"Should we bite the bullet and go back then?" He asked running his hands through his hair and shaking it a bit.
