h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Kyra sits up when Paul enters, and goes into the kitchen to clean up the mess she's made. She makes a lot of mess cooking, as unused as she is to it*

That was me. I didn't want to wake anyone.

*Paul follows Kyra into the kitchen and stops at the door, pretending to be shocked*

Yes, seems like you cooked.

*he chuckles*

You don't have to clean that, Kyra. You cooked already. I'll do that later... if there's something left for me, that is.

*he winks*

*Kyra laughs and offers Paul a plate with an egg-bacon-muffin-thing, which is now cold*

D'you have a microwave?

*She starts cleaning up*

*Paul nods and warms up his 'muffin' in the microwave*

Didn't I just tell you you shall stop cleaning?

*he chuckles*

*Tavaron enters the kitchen, wearing a short skirt, a blouse, the bracelet from Eli and Lucy and the locket she got from Paul.
She yawns and then smiles at Anezka. They greet each other and Tavaron walks to Paul and Kyra*

Morning.

*Paul kisses her*

Morning, kitty.

*he hands her his plate and gets another muffin which he warms for himself*

Kyra cooked today.

*Tavaron grins*

Great, thanks. I'll wake the cook later. He's still asleep, I just checked.

*Kyra laughs and continues to ignore Paul and clean up. There is just something that won't let her make a mess in someone else's 'house' then leave it for them to clean*

I didn't mind, I was up early.

*Tavaron smiles*

Well, thank you anyhow.


*Paul gestures at Kyra in mock annoyment*

Now look at that, kitty, the Lieutenant doesn't listen to me.

*he chuckles*

Thanks, Kyra.


*Anezka listens to what's going on and chuckles quietly, then walks to the others and brings back her plate, putting it into the dishwasher*

*Kyra laughs*

Hey, I have a reputation to live down to.

*She finishes the dishes and smiles*

I'm going to go for a walk. See you later.

*Tavaron chuckles and nods*

I see.
Ok, have fun, we'll see you later then.

*Paul and Anezka also say good bye.
Then Tavaron and Paul sit down to have breakfast while Anezka walks back to her room and quietly joins Jack in bed again. She decided that there will be enough time to go for a walk later and it's just too nice with Jack in bed.*

*Kyra takes Frankie for a walk but she doesn't go far before she lies down in the shade of a palm tree and falls asleep on the sand*

# Without any boats

* Eli and Lucy get up after spending a very pleasant first night in their luxurious bedroom - far more luxurious than their suite at the Pantheon hotel, in fact - and have a shower. Yes, together, but the less said about that, the better for hamsters and DIA censors alike. *

* Anyway, when they emerge from their bedroom they're dressed far more casual than usual. *

* They make their way to the kitchen to have something to eat. *

* When Eli and Lucy enter the kitchen, they are greeted by a man in a chef's uniform. Eli smiles at him, as does Lucy. *

Monsieur Escoffier? Enchanté.+ It's an honour to meet you, sir. Please allow me to introduce ourselves. This is Lucy Zhang, and I'm Eli Charognard.

* The chef returns their smiles and takes Lucy's hand, placing a kiss upon it. *

Enchanté, madame.

* He shakes Eli's extended hand and answers, with a distinct French accent: *

It's a pleasure, monsieur. But, if I may ask... Charognard? Do you have French blood in your veins?

* Eli smiles. *

Perhaps a little. I'm from New Orelans, in the United States.

* Escoffier smiles, understanding. *

Ah, le Quartier Latin. Almost as famous as that of Paris. Well, how can I be of service?

* Eli smiles. *

We'd like some breakfast, please. And we'd be honoured if you'd be willing to surprise us. Just one thing: I'm a vegetarian. I hope that won't be a problem?

* Escoffier smiles, too. *

None whatsoever, monsieur. Please, asseyez-vous. # Would you like tea, coffee or fruit juice?

* This time it's Lucy who answers as they sit down. *

We'd both like some tea, please.

* Escoffier nods and smiles, pours both of them a cup of tea and then walks over to the stove. Some virtuoso-style frying-panhandling later, he serves them up some crêpes with fruit. *

Bon appetit! @

* Eli and Lucy thank the chef and dig in with relish. *

+ 'Nice to meet you.'
# 'Have a seat.'
@ 'Enjoy.'

*Tavaron and Paul enter the tardis to get a bottle of water - the one they had with them on the beach is empty meanwhile. As they intend to go back to the beach again they are only wearing their swimming things.*

*they enter the kitchen and see Eli and Lucy.
Tavaron smiles*

Ah, good morning. I hope you slept well?

*Paul smiles, too*

Good morning ma'am, morning Eli.

*although he always likes calling people on their frist names it's still an unfamiliar feeling*

*Tavaron and Paul both get a glass of juice and sit down at the table to keep Eli and Lucy some company*

* Eli and Lucy look up and smile as Tavaron and Paul enter. *

Good morning. Yes, we've slept very well, thank you.

* Eli smiles broadly as he says this. Lucy adds: *

Please, call me Lucy, if you like. What Eli told you yesterday goes for me, too.

* She smiles at Paul. *

How's the water?

*Paul smiles broadly*

Thank you, Lucy.

*he looks out at the sea, then back at Lucy*

The water is very nice. It has the right temperature. At least for me. But just lying on the beach is nice, too.

*Tavaron nods*

That's right. But we should also have a walk in the forest later. Or tomorrow.

* Eli nods. *

Yes, we'd like to explore the island a little, too.

* He finishes his crêpes and Escoffier serves both him and Lucy a fruit salad. *

* Lucy smiles at the chef. *

Thank you. Those crêpes were delicious.

*Paul has a look at the food*

Yes, looks good. Our cook was Kyra this morning.

*Tavaron nods*

But that was good, too, wasn't it?

*Paul nods*

It was, yes... but back to the actual topic: yes, we should maybe all go and have a look around. Kyra has left for a walk in the morning already.

* Eli looks surprised. *

Kyra can cook? Now *that's* a talent she kept well-hidden.

* Both he and Lucy chuckle. He nods at Paul's remark. *

Yes, maybe we should. She has Frankie with her, I assume?

*Paul chuckles, too*

We didn't know it either. Yes, Frankie is with her.

*Kyra is sleeping remarkably peacefully on the hard sand. The sun has moved to warm her, and Frankie is asleep next to her in the shade. Kyra wakes briefly every now and then, but lets the peaceful silence lull her back to sleep*

* Eli smiles. *

Well, shall we go look for them, then?
