03RD AFFAIR | ACCIDENTAL VIDEO/ACTION
Accidental Video: Painting
think of me fondly
[The screen flickers and focuses on the back of Crystal’s shoulder. She’s wearing a tight white tank top that’s smudged with different colored paints. There is a brush positioned delicately between her fingers as she adds the splash of light pink within her canvas. When she leans forward a small mark tattooed into her lower back is visible but it quickly vanishes from the screen when she reaches for more paint.
A sweet tune is sung from her lips which a few people might recognize from The Phantom of the Opera. Her voice is like honey, singing each note with a sweet inflection as she works. Her voice is trained, holding each note perfectly before flowing effortlessly into the next measure of the song.]
to take your heart back
and be free
Action: Café
[She’s in a sour disposition after her phone had accidentally turned on and broadcasted her singing across the network. Crystal feels exposed and it isn’t a feeling she enjoys. She finds a small café in Nova City, a place where no one would know her, to think.
She sips at her coffee and listens to the ambient sound of people bustling along. It calms her down though she continues to feel uneasiness knot in her stomach. She takes pride in keeping her emotions tied to a very taught leash and now she’s forced to reevaluate that. Thought flitters in and out of her head as she sips the steaming latte.
Crystal isn’t paying a lot of attention to those who walk buy. Her clear baby blue eyes are unfocused and aloof.]
Closed Action: Trip
[Crystal waits at the Nova City archway wearing a purple dress and heels. She has a bag tucked artfully in the crook of her arm and a pair of sunglasses pushed over her eyes. She looks very relaxed and composed for someone who’s standing around waiting.
There is no telling where her eyes land though when her company arrives a smirk begins to tug at the corner of her lips.]
Thank you for coming out to meet me.

[She smiles.]
I'll pick something at random and we'll see how we fair.
[Crystal moves back towards the elevator and while the ride down has much less people she still presses herself against Clay.]
action; closed
I like adventurous. [He'd even brushed up on French for the trip.]
action; closed
She guides then down the street walking with a slow easy pace. Her eyes fall on some shops though she isn’t interested enough to pause. After about a half hour of sights she stops at a small bistro looking place and leads them inside.]
Table pour deux s'il vous plaît.
[Her voice spoke the words gracefully and the hostess smiles bringing them to their table and handing them small menu’s. It’s the sort of place that changes its menu regularly and has a few preset items. Most of the plates will me small in portion.]
action; closed
Merci.
[And then he looks back to her.]
You know, I shouldn't be surprised you speak French.
action; closed
I’ve had time to learn. I speak a few other languages though not as well.
[She looks over the menu before looking up at Clay.]
Anything catch your eye or would you like me to order?
action; closed
Surprise me.
action; closed
Pouvons-nous s'il vous plaît commander le Saumon Fumé (smoked salmon garnished with field greens, capers and shallots), Filet de Boeuf aux Morilles (grilled filet mignon in a morel mushroom brandy creamy demi-glace), Carre d'Agneau (roasted rack of lamb served over a roasted garlic rosemary demi-glace garnished with flageolet beans)
[With their order placed Crystal turns back to Clay.]
You might still be hungry after this. [She isn't opposed to stopping somewhere on the way home. Franch isn't known for American portion sizes.]>
action; closed
Whichever one of those is beef...and I'm used to it.
action; closed
[She repeats the words easily back to him.]
The other is lamb.
[Crystal eats everything, it's part of her job to be able to dine and eat what's served to her or choose something that a customer might enjoy. There are safe things that men usually appreciate and she's glad to know that Clay isn't strange with his food choices.]
Are you interested in languages?
action; closed
Filet de Boeuf aux Morilles. I'll take that.
[And he rolls his shoulder in a shrug.]
I pick them pretty easily, but I've never been to France.
action; closed
[His French sounds beautiful even though it's just repeating an item from the menu. She'd love to hear more of it.]
I know bits of Spanish but that's it.
action; closed
[He pauses.] It means "you have the most beautiful eyes." So do "anata ga mottomo utsukushī me o shite imasu" and "mayroon kang ang pinaka maganda ang mga mata."
action; closed
That's beautiful. Would it be to arduous if I asked you to teach me some? I have a passion for tongues though I feel it's best practiced through speech.
[It's a very attractive quality to be multi-lingual.]
action; closed
A passion for "tongues" huh? [He chuckles before shaking his head.] No, it wouldn't be arduous.
action; closed
[She flashes him a warm smile and as their water comes out the waiter takes their menu's and preps the table for their first dish.]/small>
You should teach me then. Whenever you feel inclined to of course.
action; closed
We can talk about your passion for my tongue later.
action; closed
It's hard to wait.
[She then leans back as their first dish arrives. It's an appetizer so she takes a small portion and moves it to the small plate in front of her.]
action; closed
But waiting makes everything better.
action; closed
[It's very difficult for Crystal to not be interested in Clay. They've spent most of their time in one hotel room or another.
Once the appetizer is finished the two main dishes come out. Crystal directs the stake towards Clay and he'll be happy to see that it's a slightly larger portion though he'll still most likely be hungry. Crystal's meal is a similar portion size though it looks far to large when it's placed in front of her.]
Tell me what you think.
action; closed
[But he smiles. He doesn't mind being hungry after dinner's finished. He's sort of used to it, and gets started on his steak.]
...wow. [He looks down that the small portion.] Now I'm wishing there was more steak.
action; closed
[He'd said he preferred beef.]
I'm glad you liked it.
[Crystal doesn't finish her meal.]
You can finish mine if you want.
action; closed
[His tone is teasing, though. He raises an eyebrow at her comment, though.]
...it's already small. You finish it.
action; closed
We can stop by New York and pick up a good burger. [A sentence she never thought she’d say while in France.
Crystal finishes her meal without further argument. There is still a small amount left behind though she doesn’t seem bothered by it. She waves towards the waiter and then turns to address Clay.]
I think it’d be nice to meander. Is that alright?
[When night falls she’ll take him back to the Eiffel Tower and that will mark the end of their trip.]
action; closed
I can survive without a hamburger, but that great. We'll just see where we end up.
action; closed
There are some marvelous small places in France. Maybe we'll stumble across one?
