Liz's gown, on the other hand (or paw), somehow manages to get caught on four separate corners in the five seconds it takes her to slide into the booth. For all her grace and poise she had in combat, she had very little outside of it, and only her quick reflexes prevented the beautiful dress from tearing. She stares rather wide-eyed for a moment at the menu, she recognized the letters but not the words they made.
"Ummmmm, no. This menu makes about as much sense as Goraia's leadership system does. Can you just order for me? Nothing with snails though, can't stand them when they're alive and I can't imagine enjoying them dead either."

Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

“Sure, of course…”
Taking another peek at the menu, Naoki spends a moment to consider what Liz’ taste in wine might be. Hm. Considering the matter, Liz probably doesn’t have any particular tastes when it comes to wine.
Figuring that Claude is probably clever enough to understand the situation, Naoki turns back to him and amends her order in Gauldish, “Actually, if you would, please make the Écarlate Special a bottle with cups for us both, a glass of water for my companion, as well as some Saucisson Bon-Bons.”
Realizing that her grammar was less than perfect, Naoki bites her lip but opts not to correct herself. The pair of them are obviously from out of town, and if Claude doesn’t understand, he can ask.

Roleplay posts: 196
Age: Around six centuries.
Physical Description: At a slender and willowy 5'9", Morrigan is a creature of beauty. Her arms and fingers seem to be slightly too long for her body, but this is something easily dismissed in the face of her personality. She has slightly pointed ears and delicate, aristocratic features, and wide, expressive eyes that constantly variate between different shades of violet. Perhaps most notable about Morrigan is her hair: It's long and slightly curling, a rich mahogany in color, and whether or not it's bound or falling freely, the highlights within it change color according to her emotions. Anyone able to sense magic would see that she has a glamour covering her face, although seeing past it would be extremely difficult.
-------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Morrigan can be seen wearing finely-made dresses of various materials and colors, as the woman seems to love all hues and fabrics. The only pieces of jewelry she wears are a silver ring in the shape of a calla lily on her left index finger, an engagement ring with a rainbow of gemstones on the same hand's ring finger, and a rose gold pendant in the shape of a rose around her neck.

Surprised by Naoki's Gauldish, Claude nonetheless didn't let it show, and dipped a quick bow to the two before replying in flawless Gauldish of his own.
"But of course, mademoiselle." He made his way first to the bar, returning quickly with the requested bottle of libations and two tumblers, and a wineglass full of ice water. The glasses were set down, and then he expertly popped the cork on the bottle, before pouring a decent amount of the cherry-flavored liqueur into their glasses. Placing the bottle on the table, he bowed and retreated to the kitchens to place their appetizer orders.

Liz picked up her glass, and swirled the wine about. That was the extent of her knowledge on wine.
"Thank you Claude. So what exactly is the purpose of this...for lack of a better term, date? You took me to get a new dress that cost nearly as much as St. George's equipment, then took me to this incredibly nice restaurant."
She took a sip of the wine, and nodded her head appreciatively. It wasn't half bad.

“Yes, merci,” Naoki thanks Claude for the drinks.
As Liz poses her question, Naoki raises one incredulous eyebrow. “The purpose?”
After mulling it over for a moment, she begins, “The purpose of this outing, and this vacation in general, for that matter, is such that you spend eighty percent of your time either in the barracks, in the pub, or on St. George. The purpose is that if I asked you what your hobbies were, you would probably say something silly, like, ‘maintaining my weapons’ or, ‘grooming St. George’.”
At this, Naoki waves a hand dismissively as she uses the other to take a sip of wine, apparently not thinking very highly of either of the hobbies stated.
“You probably don’t know how to dance, that’s probably one of the only dresses you own, and I am the only individual with which you have ever had sexual relations.”
With this stated bluntly and with no apparent remorse, Naoki takes another sip of the wine before continuing, “Now, I don’t mean to imply that all of those things- dancing, dresses, and debauchery, are necessary for a healthy, full, and enjoyable lifestyle, but what I do mean to say is that your current lifestyle- of simply being a soldier, is unhealthy, and that you need to expand your outlook, find at least one reasonable hobby, and maybe develop some personal relationships with someone other than the soldiers under your command and yours truly.”
Though there is a teasing edge to her voice, so too is there a serious one. Though she is directly berating Liz, Naoki intends for it to be clear that her intentions are motivated by a desire for Liz’ well-being.
“There’s just… so much more to the world, and to life, than you’ve seen,” Naoki continues, gesturing around with her wine glass. “And again- I’m not implying that expensive wine and intimate settings are the be all and end all of what the world has to offer, but I, personally, enjoy this sort of thing, and would like to share it with you. … Such of the purpose of this date.”
With this stated, Naoki nods once, mostly to herself, apparently satisfied with her choice of words, before proceeding to take a third sip of wine.

"What...but...I have...um...like, tons of hobbies not related to my...oh, damn."
She blushed, about as furiously as possible, her face displaying the type of crimson red that the Isran colors were undoubtedly based on.
"I can dance! They teach us formal dancing in officer school."
She paused, and took a big gulp of her wine that turned into finishing the glass off while she muttered into the glass.
"But, yeah, that's all I have in response to that."

It was about this time that Claude returned with their appetizers, setting the plates of delicacies down on the table. He gave them a smile and a bow.
"I'll return in a bit to take your orders for your main course, unless you're ready now?"

Resting her chin in her hand, Naoki positively grins at Liz’ response; Embarrassed Liz is one of definitely her favorite sorts of Lizzes. However, before Naoki has a chance to continue the conversation, Claude returns with their appetizers.
After he places them down, Naoki responds, “Thank you, but we are not. Just a short while, if you would, please.”
Sliding the pork balls to one side and the garlic bread to the other, Naoki moves her menu to the center of the table so that Liz ought to be able to see.
Standing up out of her seat, Naoki leans forward to plant one palm on the table, and uses the other finger to point to the menu, “The title here, this reads, ‘Main Courses’.” As she is, Naoki’s chest hovers dangerously close to the pork balls, such so that if she leans forward anymore, she’ll be getting sauce all over the front of her gown. As such, she is careful to not.
Starting at the top of the list, Naoki traces her finger across the word TARTE and proceeds to explain to Liz what all the described meal entails, “This first item, this is like... Beets and, goat cheese in a pastry, and also a salad- doesn’t sound very appealing to me. If you have a thing for beets, I suppose…”
Moving onto the next item, she continues, “This is a zucchini and pea salad, also not really my speed. … This word here- 'poulet', that translates directly to 'chicken'. This dish is chicken, with mushrooms, vegetables and... mashed potatoes, it seems like. Sounds alright- maybe try that. Next, we have some duck, with… Uhm, sliced potatoes, and also beans.”
Evidently, Naoki is having a bit of trouble translating the Gauldish text of the menu faithfully, unable to quite articulate some of the intricacies of how each dish is cooked. It’s one thing to understand, but entirely another to translate and articulate clearly, she's finding.
“And then some mussels. Steamed mussels, at that, with garlic. And then… more fish, this is a sort of seafood medley. And then, here we have some bass- as in the fish, also steamed, with olives, basil, and tomatoes…” Naoki trails off for a moment, considering the intricacies of the Sea Bass en Papillote. After a moment, she silently concludes that it sounds awful and that she wouldn’t like any part of it.
Continuing, “But oh- oh, here we go, this is says half chicken. ‘Demi’ is half, and ‘poulet’ is still chicken. It also says that it’s marinated in spices. Sounds pretty good to me.”
“And then lastly, this is just a fancy way to say beef bourguignon. That’s- as you might expect, beef with all sorts of sauce and such on top- probably pretty good, I’ve had that before elsewhere and liked it.”
As that seems to be the end of the list of main dishes, Naoki takes the menu back into her hands for a closer inspection. “That’s it for main courses, but they also have soups. … They actually have a quite a few kinds of soup- everything under ‘Potage’ is a soup. I can translate those as well if you’d like, but it’s looking like your safest bets as far as not-soup meals that will seem familiar are the Boulet Breton- the chicken with vegetables, the Demi Poulet- the half chicken, the beef bourguignon, or maybe one of the seafood dishes- if you like seafood. I think personally... I’m probably going to go with theeee... half-chicken. What are you thinking, does anything here stand out, or should I tell you about the soups?” With this, Naoki offers Liz a single raised eyebrow over the menu.

Claude departed with a bow. But moments after Naoki detailed the contents of the menu to Liz, the text shimmered, and would abruptly be replaced with the text of the common language they both spoke. The source behind this magic became visible a moment later as a tall, shapely woman seemed almost to appear beside the table, her face delicate and her ears pointed. She was cradling a flute of sparkling white wine in one hand, which gleamed with a band adorned with a rainbow of stones. She was wearing a clinging dress of rich violet with a plunging neckline that went a few inches past her navel, her modesty only barely preserved by the silvery lace that covered the skin visible thanks to the low cut of silky fabric. Her eyes were the same shade of violet as her dress, and she had long hair formed of loose mahogany curls, the highlights shifting between a pale yellow and coppery color seemingly on a whim. When she spoke, it was in the common tongue, but perhaps puzzling, it was without Gauldish accent.
"My apologies for the difficulty with the menu, ladies. We don't get many here from outside Gauldin, but I suppose it's about time I had some made in the common tongue. Is there anything I could perhaps offer as recompense or assistance to make up for this oversight?"

Liz listened to the explanation with as much interest as she could muster, but the experience reminded her of her time in the Isran Officer Academy, all that book learning had gone over her head until she had realized the practical application of some of it. Even then it had been a struggle, but one she had forced herself to cope with. This was no different, and she tried to remember everything that Naoki said, but it was a bit difficult with Naoki's chest hovering precariously over the pork balls.
"Uhhhh, well, the chicken..."
The sudden appearance of the rather beautiful Fae owner cut her off mid-sentence. Liz knew Naoki well enough to know that, based on the newcomer's appearance, Naoki would likely say the woman's company would be enough, and she waved to indicate that Naoki should choose something.

Turning to look as the woman appears at their table, Naoki makes an interesting realization: 'I can ogle whoever I want because nobody can tell me not to.'
Exercising this newly realized freedom to its fullest, Naoki ogles away, and remarks silently that A) Of all the freedoms afforded to her in being High lady of Isra, this one is probably the best, and B) Whoever this is, they’re damn pretty. An elf of some variety, maybe. It’s difficult to say for sure with those sorts of things, Naoki thinks. Also probably the owner or manager of this establishment, based on what they said.
Waving a hand, Naoki attempts to dismiss her concern, “It was no trouble.”
Still, to refuse to her offer would be akin to refusing the apology, which would be quite impolite, Naoki thinks. But yet… glancing between the filled glasses, the appetizers, and Liz, Naoki can’t think of anything offhand that either of them would need.
Articulating as much, Naoki continues, “I believe that we’re quite fine for the time being. The service has been impeccable so far, and we’re very nearly ready to order. After we eat, I think we’ll probably head upstairs, and I don’t foresee any issues.”
Based on Naoki’s observation and deductive reasoning, there’s either dancing or some manner of sex club upstairs, and frankly, she’s down for either. Gesturing to Liz, Naoki intends to imply that if Liz needs anything, she shouldn’t hesitate to ask while the woman is right here.
Still, she continues with the small talk, “Is this your establishment, then?”

Being ogled didn't seem to bother Morrigan in the slightest; in fact, her lips tilted into a small, entirely pleased little smile as she sipped at the wine in her hand. The mention of them heading upstairs after their meal lit a sparkle of approval in her gaze, and she grinned slightly as she nodded. Very wise choice. Perhaps she'd have to sing something special for this lovely pair.
"Indeed it is. Morrigan da Silverlain, at your service." The hand not clasping her wineglass moved to press over the flat plane of her stomach, and her head tilted downward as she bent her knees, dipping into the slightest of curtsies. Then she was straightening and giving the duo an assessing look.
"I'll leave you two to your meal - but if you need anything, simply say the word, and I'll see it done. Such a deliciously lovely couple deserves only the utmost from the Salon." Bestowing Liz and Naoki with a playful wink and a corresponding crooked smile, she would turn and swish away with a sway of curvaceous hips, unless stopped.

"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Silverlain, you have a lovely establishment."
Liz had a hard time decidedly not ogling the woman, deeming it improper in such an establishment, but she still found it hard to resist, the woman was stunning after all. The food and the drink delivered so far was most definitely delicious, a thought initiated by the smell of the garlic bread and confirmed by a bite of it. Morrigan referring to them as a "couple" only served to cause Liz to nearly choke on the garlic bread, but she hid it, barely, and smiled to cover up anything that may have been noticed.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

Nodding in thanks and farewell to Ms. Silverlain, Naoki decides that she rather likes the woman, based on that first impression. She reminds Naoki of herself in a way- what she might be like if her career had taken a turn for the high class as opposed to the shady or political. There’s also something a bit exotic about her- something alluring about the way her hair seems to shift its hue, and the manner in which she carries herself.
That said, there’s also something Naoki likes in the way Liz smiles, so she returns with one of her own, still evidently enjoying herself and in no particular rush to proceed. Once Morrigan is out of plausible earshot, Naoki addresses Liz across the table, taking a piece of garlic bread in one hand and waving it idly about as she talks, “She seems quite nice, I think. Do you think she recognized us?”
Taking a bite of the bread, Naoki idly peruses the menu as she waits, eyeing up the soups.

Morrigan da Silverlain
Dedicated
It's only forever.. not long at all.
Roleplay posts: 196
Age: Around six centuries.
Physical Description: At a slender and willowy 5'9", Morrigan is a creature of beauty. Her arms and fingers seem to be slightly too long for her body, but this is something easily dismissed in the face of her personality. She has slightly pointed ears and delicate, aristocratic features, and wide, expressive eyes that constantly variate between different shades of violet. Perhaps most notable about Morrigan is her hair: It's long and slightly curling, a rich mahogany in color, and whether or not it's bound or falling freely, the highlights within it change color according to her emotions. Anyone able to sense magic would see that she has a glamour covering her face, although seeing past it would be extremely difficult.
-------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Morrigan can be seen wearing finely-made dresses of various materials and colors, as the woman seems to love all hues and fabrics. The only pieces of jewelry she wears are a silver ring in the shape of a calla lily on her left index finger, an engagement ring with a rainbow of gemstones on the same hand's ring finger, and a rose gold pendant in the shape of a rose around her neck.

Claude was hovering on the periphery, waiting for any visual cue that Naoki and Liz were ready to order their entrees.

Physical Description: Elizabeth, or Liz, stands at about 5'9", weighing in at about 160lbs, most of it muscle from years of riding and fighting. She has platinum blonde hair, usually tied in a ponytail to fit inside her helmet. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green that contrasts well with her tanned skin. She would be considered attractive if she ever removed her armor, otherwise her face is the only indication that underneath the iron discipline and plate armor is an attractive woman.
Clothes and Equipment: Liz wears a normal looking set of plate armor that is custom fitted for her specifically, and does not hide her gender. She wields a lance when mounted. Javelins are carried in her mounts saddle. Her mount is a young Griffin by the name of St. George, he is full grown in height, but does not yet have the full mass of a adult griffin.

"It's possible she recognized you I guess, but I am not exactly a high-profile figure to the citizens of other countries. This may also be the first time I have ever been out in public not in uniform and with my hair all done up properly."
She polished off a further piece of the garlic bread, it was absolutely delicious.
"You think it would be deemed acceptable to just pig out on garlic bread instead of eating any real food?"

Shrugging a bit, Naoki is forced to agree. Liz is awfully logical, isn’t she. If only Liz were a better drunk, then perhaps Naoki could work a bit on how much the people of Travere know her. As it stands, though, she would probably just vomit on the floor and Naoki would end up paying for the rug.
In response to Liz’ inquiry, Naoki shrugs again. “Don’t worry so much about what’s ‘acceptable’. I sincerely doubt their garlic bread is a loss leader, and even if it is, they can hardly blame us.” Between sentences, Naoki takes another bite of the garlic bread.
“Really, the only reason I dressed you up is because I like the way you look when you’re done up like that; I don’t think anyone would have minded if you came in your dress uniform.” With this, she offers her very best smirk, knowing full well how this ought to make Liz feel.
After allowing a moment to savor the probable reaction, Naoki continues, “About the bread though, I don’t think it matters. If you’d like to, sure- go ahead, it doesn’t matter to me and you’re in my company anyway. If anyone has something to say about it I’ll tell them to stuff it. … I’m going to try this half-chicken, though.”
Beckoning to Claude, Naoki repeats herself in Gauldish, politely articulating her order to him.

Naoki had barely lifted her hand and Claude was there. Nodding as he made mental note of her order, he also surreptitiously refilled their glasses from the bottle, then glanced at Liz with a smile, as if to say, 'And for you, mademoiselle?'

Again with the blushing, and she attempted to stutter out a reply, some sort of return compliment, but she fumbled it and gave up. Naoki was really quite the flatterer, and Liz was highly unused to this level of attention. Thankfully, Naoki ordered, and Liz could use that as an opportunity to change topics.
"Could I have the half-chicken as well? And another order of the garlic bread I think," she said in common, not even attempting to sound out the Gauldish words.

"Of course, mademoiselle." Taking both their orders, Claude hurried off to the kitchens to place them, leaving the pair alone.
