Phae was completly shocked and surprised when Khel too had a bracelet for her. She giggled a little but inside she was really touched that he had the same idea she did. She watched as he placed the white gold bracelet around her wrist and close the clasp. She touched it gently with her left hands fingers and smiled. She looked up and saw him looking at her a bit oddly. She smiled up at him and felt him take her hand as he began to walk again.
She wasn't sure why he was holding her hand though. And she felt a bit guilty about to to be honest. She listened as he spoke of where he wanted to eat and she smiled with a nod. She took her hand from his and ran both her hands down her skirt to straighten it a bit.
"I'm not really dressed for a fancy restaurant but if you don't mind I don't." she said as she let her hands relax at her sides after smoothing down the shirt she was wearing.

He walked with her calmly as he was paying attentionad heard her comment giving a brief smile for a moment and noticed her slightly guilty look and slowly let go of her hand. He hummed for a moment as he folded his arms behind his head and strehed out for a bit. Briefly he wondered what the guilt was on but, decided not to comment yet as he instead looked around for a moment taking in the scenery. He breathed in the fresh air and he finally opened his eyes and turned to give her a chuckle for a moment wagging his fingers playfully.
"Nothing like that one of those diners that are supposedly popular to high-school and college students. Casual so you can feel relaxed while eating great food," Khel aid with a wink at her as he clasped his hands for a moment.
"Fancy places are boring anyways they make you act all sophisticated when their food service and managers are just like us. They also charge you like double or triple what the food should cost under the disguise of fancy cooking, who wants to pay thirty books for a steak? I'd rather cook it myself for a third of the price," Khel said with a grin.

She chuckled at his comment and looked up at him. He was kinda cute the way he had his hands behind his head like that. She smiled and thought about where he was suggesting they eat.
"Sounds good. Fancy is fine sometimes. But we're here to have fun and it's more fun to eat relaxed. And besides we have dancing yet to do and fancy dinners take so long." she said with a chuckle.
She bounced a little in her step and hummed lightly to herself she was having a good time and therefore was a bit hyper. She really liked Italy. She'd have to bring Jun here one day for a day trip. He would most likely be surprised she had gone at all muchless with another guy she had only met today. Yet, she could easily contact Delana and she could tell Junpei if she was in trouble so she had an escape route if need be.
"So lead the way."

"Yes fancy dinners do take too long I totally agree," Khel said with a grin at Phae as he continued to walk ahead finding the street name he wanted and turned with her. He hummed softly hearing her boucning and almost gave a smile at her bouncing it was cute the way she did it as he moved along with her watching out of the corner of his eye as he took a deft measurement of her chest. Heh always got to be bad but, Khel saw the restaurant he wanted and gave a smile as he walked with her.
"There it is," He pointed it out.
Man what a bust...
I bet they're great to sleep against.
BUST FOR THE WIN!
He opened the door letting Phae in first and then entering after her the restaurant was cool and relaxed and he walked with Phae to a table sitting across from her as a waiter dropped off ice waters. He and Khel spoke in Italian as he dropped off a pair of menus and he looked up at Phae.
"Anything in particular you want?"

The restuarant was quaint and cute. It was very relaxed and Phae liked that. A blast of refreshing cool air hit her as they stepped into the restuarant and she almost sighed. Though it wasn't hot outside per say it was warm and the air conditioning was greatly appreciated.
She sat down at the table tucking her skirt underneath her legs and placing one leg over the other with her hands in her lap. She listened as Khel talked in Italian and made a mental note not to speak in German in front of Jun again. It was exceedingly annoying not to know what was said and only being able to take a person's word on it.
She picked up her menu and she let her blue eyes begin to look over the page. She knew German and French but she did not know Italian yet some of the names were the ones she was used to but.. still she was unsure and wanted to make sure she was ordering exactly what she wanted.
"Would you mind ordering for me? I would like the chicken fetticini alfredo." she said softly as she put her menu down and took a sip of her water. It was such a lovely day outside and she was definatly enjoying her time with Khel.
"So tell me like.. favorite color.. favorite animal.. favorite anything." she said excitedly as she leaned forward slightly.

He could sense Phae's annoyance over not knowing what was being said and could slightly sympathy with her as he turned his attention back to her and gave a small smile. Poor Phae she probably knew three langauges or so but, didn't have Khel's particular lingual training so that he found it easier to break down and analyze a langauge as he studied it. It was one of the reasons that the military had liked him so. He was intelligent and could fit in anywhere if he was trained to be. There was only so much to be done as Khel looked up and gave a smile at her as the waiter went away and for Phaedra's benifit he switched to German for her so she wouldn't feel so left out.
"Sie sind wahrscheinlich geärgert formuliert an, jemandes anders zu nehmen, hat, wenn Sie unfähig sind, den langauge zu sprechen. So für Ihren benifit werde ich versuchen, alles Ihnen auf Deutsch ebenso lang zu übertragen, als ich erinnere mich an es."
["You're probably annoyed at having to take someone else's word when you're unable to speak the langauge. So for your benifit I'll try to relay everything to you in German as long as I remember it."]
Khel heard her question as he hummed for a moment to think about it as the waiter came by.
"Due alfredo di fetticini di pollo, due bicchieri di acqua di ghiaccio, ed un vaso di tè caldo."
"Immediatamente."
["Two chicken fetticini alfredo, two glasses of ice water, and a pot of hot tea."
"Right away."]
Khel turned back to her and spoke in German to Phae.
"Ich habe eiswasser und tee mit unseren nudeln es gibt auch freie stangenförmige gebäcke aus brotteig mit dies erhalten."
["I got ice water and tea with our pasta there are also free breadsticks with this."]
Khel hummed for a moment as he tapped his fingers his brain having to think triple time since he was using three langauges. He finally nodded.
"Well my favorite color is sky blue, my favorite non-adult author is David Eddings, favorite animal is Siberian white tiger, and I have no favorite ice cream flavor because I like all of them."

Phae didn't want him to have to flip through so many languages and she almost sighed at that as much. It was almost like he was showing off and she didn't want that either. She nodded to him as the waiter came and she let him order for her. She looked at him when the waiter left.
"You don't have to put everything in German. I understand English very well." she said with a smile. "So just English and you don't have to do it all the time."
She looked out the window for a minute and rubbed her eyes as they were getting tired. Some how walking through Italy was taking it out of her. She would definatly be getting good sleep tonight. Junpei would probably be curious as to why she was so tired but she would tell him and give him his gift. He would probably not be mad or the slightest bit jealous just happy that she had a good time and had thought about him while doing so.
"That's nice." she said returning her attention to Khel. "My color is pink, my author would have to be Edith Pattou, and my favorite animal would be a dragon." she said with a nod.

"You ok Phae? You look a tad worn out," Kheldar said calmly as he looked up at her and gave a concerned look for a moment something that probably didn't suit him but, that was the way things were. He had let Phae under his skin and he didn't want her pushing herself too hard. They could always cancel the rest of the night and head back to the Academy the had had a good time as is and Kheldar had enjoyed it himself. They had seen a few sites and had done some shopping and conversating that was the best that they could do right now. He didn't want Phae to just wipe herself out as he he heard her comment about dragons and gave a small smile at her on it. Dragons had always been mystical and interesting creatures. They just stirred curiousity from people.
"We can always go out other times if that's the case so you don't have to worry about spoiling the day if you want to get back to the Academy," Kheldar continued as he turned his attention outside for a moment and then turned his attention to her.
"Dragons," Khel murmured.
"Mystical creatures that always catch the attention of everyone. I've wanted to see a dragon up-close. Maybe, a part of the reason would be upgrading the Dragon armor but, the bigger reason is I just think it would be interesting to see one up close," Khel turned his attention to Phaedra completely and relaxed in his seat some more streching out slightly where he was.

She heard his question and smiled. It was sweet that he cared. She was still able to get tired easily yet she hid it well especially around Junpei because if he saw her getting weak again he would worry and she tried not to let him worry about her. She tried to be strong. Yet after Der Metzgermeister's class she hadn't been sleeping well instead .. she just lay in Junpei's wonderful arms her eyes staring out into the darkness as he slept. She would eventually sleep yet still she was plagued by nightmares from Junpei's leaving, Onira's suicide, and the class.
"I'm okay. I don't sleep well anymore. And I get tired easily." she said truthfully as she looked over at him again.
The waiter brought their food and sat it down in front of each of them. She smiled at the waiter and nodded to him. He left and she sipped her ice water. This was going to be entirely too much food. She rarely ate much any more either. She silently and quickly said grace before she picked up her fork and dug it. Some how Italian food tasted way better in Italy than anywhere else.
She decided against conversation and concentrated on finding room for as much food as she could. She didn't let on that she couldn't eat much because she didn't want anyone to know. She just wanted not to think about anything besides having fun today.

Kheldar gave a nod but, could catch the hint in Phae's tone and decided not to drive any further on the comment. That little tone that said she didn't want to really talk about it and just focus on the day at hand. It was something Kheldar could understand as he looked up at her for a moment. Frowning slightly he took his usual pensive look as he saw and heard the tray set in front of them. He picked up his own fork and saw Phae bowing her head for a moment as if doing something. He blinked and waited until she was done before he took a bite of his own pasta. Now what was it that she had just done? His curiousity was on the whole thing but, he decided not to comment at the moment. Still the fact that she appreciated the concern was enough he wasn't going to pry and try to figure out.
At least at the moment anyways.
I'll have to figure out discretely.
Why she seems off-balanced.
What happened to her?
Why...
Maybe because she actually gave a damn about me and didn't flinch from my honesty.
Kheldar turned his attention to his food and finished eating about fifteen minutes later and gave a content sigh. Italian food was always the best in Italy period no questions asked. Kheldar leaned back in his seat as he glaned at Phae noticing that she was eating slowly. In fact by her expression it looked like she was concentrating on trying to eat it all. Taking a guess he decided to try and see if he was right. Tapping her shoulder slightly he waited until their gaze met.
"It's ok if you don't eat much that's just the way things are as long as you enjoy it that's what matters."
Kheldar said with a reassuring smile at her.
