The smokey, warm home of the wood miners guild. This is a thriving secondary industry, with the center of town being devoted to an elevator that descends into a large cavern in which a strange form of fungus grows that possesses many of the same traits of wood. The majority of the town works at some job related to the Rhook fungus, either in the mining or the processing of it. They build and sell beautiful Rhook furniture, carts, and other wood-based paraphernalia here. A number of auctions are held here, with the items often bearing a smokey scent or bit of ash - explained as having been recovered from the ashes of a recent fire.

All visitors must report to their customs entry, an easy diversion given that it is the only entry into the town. Provision of an adequate gift will result in their tin visa being stamped with a series of lines that looks like the rings of a tree. The police here are marginally more relaxed about proof of identification, but they are sharply on the lookout for arson and any property-related crimes. There is a smokey scent hanging in the air and a whole section of the city is little more than a warm, charred cinder. Questions about this earn the explanation of a dark mindset overcoming half the residents of that area only two months back and it worsened quickly into strife. One night, the area went up in flames and many of the residents perished with their homes and nearly the whole town was lost. Since then, they have been careful about fires and changes in personality both, with many residents currently residing in jail until their foul tempers dissipate.

[She pouts briefly as he removes his arm, but she wastes no time in taking it, giving him a small curtsey.]

After you, my dear Reynaud.
lecentre: (009)

[And he a small bow, playfully matching her curtsy, before he leads the way around the town.]

Let me know when you see something that catches your eye, then, my darling Eponine.
jondrette: (little he knows little he sees)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[it's fun, strolling about with him. She could pretend that they were a fancy couple on the streets of Paris, her in a beautiful bonnet, and flowing skirts, him with a cane and a top-hat. They'd have tea and macaroons, and a wonderful dinner by candlelight, then sleep on silk sheets.

The very thought of it had her smiling just as much as his words did.]


I shall do so! Tell me, is there something you seek?
lecentre: (010)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He could not help but smile still as she smiled more, leading her about at a leisurely pace. They were certainly in no rush to be anywhere any time soon.]

A new hat might do me well, it is something short of a miracle that this one has not yet sought its escape from atop my head. And was there something you were searching for? Or just whatever happened to jump out at you?
jondrette: (eager)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Then we shall find you a hat. And for me... We shall- oh! I should like a scarf! A beautiful one!
lecentre: (033)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-05 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
A beautiful scarf? That I'm more than certain I can help locate. Now that we have a mission, let us see to it.
jondrette: (crying)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
The most beautiful scarf I have ever seen, mind you. I shall not accept anything but the best from you.
lecentre: (011)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-05 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
You are quite a demanding one, ma cherie. You hold me to high standards, I see.
jondrette: (watching lurk)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Demanding! But if this place is heaven, then should I not get my every wish? I shall make it worth your while, should you succeed.
lecentre: (039)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-05 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, I cannot argue with such beautiful logic. I will see to it that you get your every wish, starting with the most beautiful scarf you've laid eyes on.

[And he may have raised his brows at her promise to make it worth his while.]
jondrette: (just happy to look at you)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Spoiler alert: it's a kiss.]

You do know how to endear yourself to a woman.
lecentre: (009)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-05 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He has guessed this, but does want to keep some mystery in it all.]

Another special talent of mine. I have many as I'm sure you will come to find.
jondrette: (laugh to cover pain)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-05 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
I am excited to find them all out. I have my own talents. [She sways her hips back and fourth slightly under her dress.]

Though I do not believe you shall see them here.
lecentre: (037)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-07 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He lifts an eyebrow at that, bumping her hip lightly with his.]

But I would not mind seeing them some other time. Until then... The most beautiful scarf and a hat.
jondrette: (smile)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-07 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Some other time. [And he would, it's almost certain. She grins, bumping him back.]

What color shall we find them in?
lecentre: (004)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-09 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder... What color do you admire the most? I should like to find my hat in something neutral so it may match whatever I choose to wear with it.
jondrette: (smile)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-10 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I do like green. Oh! And blue! Rich colors. I once liked red, but now find myself having trouble with it. [Probably because of all that blood.]

You would match me? How charming! That is the sort of thing courting couples do, I have heard.
lecentre: (037)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-10 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Green or blue it will be... And we will stay far from red.

[He hadn't... intended to say he would match her. Just... the rest of his clothing. But he wouldn't dare mention that now, so instead he just laughed.]

Is it, then? I should not know as I've never properly courted someone. But what a charming thought that is.
jondrette: (giggle)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-10 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That is what I have seen, yes. [She smiles kindly, his laugh infectious.] I have not, either. But I have seen it. Marius and his lark both wore black for some time.

[Bitterness? Just a bit.]

I find it hard to believe that a man such as you has not courted anyone.
lecentre: (039)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-10 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but Pontmercy and his black clothing, well.. I hardly find it difficult to match such drab choices.

[That's not to say their choice of matching blacks is trivialized, but... Black is such a standard, boring choice.]

A man such as myself, you say? A man such as myself has not courted anyone for any length of time, cherie. Therefore, I have not paid attention to how to properly court someone.
jondrette: (frown)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-10 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hush, he looks handsome in black.

[Well, dark green. Details.]

Then it should be a learning experience. [...Eponine.]
lecentre: (009)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-10 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[.... Eponine.]

Is that so?
jondrette: (you're kind of an idiot)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-10 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It is.

[Uhoh. Courfeyrac...]
lecentre: (045)

[personal profile] lecentre 2013-12-10 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...... Eponine. He stops and turns to her, taking her hand into his.]

Ma cherie, I mean to say that I am no good at courting for any lengthy periods of time... It is nothing on you, I do enjoy your company.

[How to put this delicately... He presses a kiss to her knuckles, watching her sincerely.]

But I enjoy many people's company equally.
jondrette: (sitting)

[personal profile] jondrette 2013-12-10 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She watches him, her jaw dropping slightly as he speaks, but his words and actions... No, there is something missing. There must be.

So she smiles and laughs it off.]
It is alright, my dearest Reynaud. I am patient. We shall learn to court together. [She takes his hands in hers.]

I do not mind if you spend time with other ladies. [We all know that's a bold-faced lie.]
