(That... would be really nice. Thank you. She exchanges a look with Josie, knowing that's something she'd be more than interested in. Saying yes to that isn't difficult. It's a no-brainer.
Bonnie is texting.
The art museum is something to behold. The building itself is its' own work of art.
This is going well, so Elijah chimes in, too, ordering an old brown liquor. )
[Josie nods her agreement and offers Hope a small smile because she knows how hard it is for her to take things at face value. So it's a bit of you're doing amazing sweetie from a distance.
Bela nods with a smile.]
I'll make some calls after lunch and text you the information.
["The art museum is on our list," Josie adds. "But I think we're going with the rest of the group." So probably not today, if Hope's plans are to be believed.]
Because, Elijah would care less abut the guys knowing that Hope and Josie make it so that the guys are now irrelevant. Not in their best friend capacity, anyway.
["I don't think it will hurt anything. It's likely the most normal thing they could be doing."
And she knows there's no teeth to it. Elijah wouldn't want to injure the delicate balance he and Hope have built. He's just playing the role of the protective uncle for now.]
("Well, that's wonderful. I know your father, Josie. He's an honorable man."
Bonnie takes that for face value, nods, and checks her texts again. Hope crinkles her eyes because, Alaric? Honorable? Sure. Okay. He's... a sort of effective headmaster. But, she's not about to badmouth her girlfriend's father. )

But thank you Bonnie, for the wine.]
I have some contacts in some of the older historical buildings. I could arrange a private tour, if you like?

She doesn't thank her again, because she already did. But. Damn it, she's grateful. )
How many of you guys are out here?
no subject
[She does a quick count again, just to be sure.]
The two of us, my sister, and some of the guys from our class. They said they were heading to check out the Lennon Wall today.
no subject
( It was always just Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena. And for a long time, just Bonnie and Caroline, and that was hard enough.
How many boys? Elijah asks.
Five, Hope answers with a smile. Like, you heard us. Don't play the protective uncle now. )
no subject
[Because that's totally reassuring.]
Some of our best friends, actually.

Bonnie leans in to Bela. )
Should we let this interrogation go on?

We are.
[Josie eyes him carefully.]
We have been for a while.

[Sure, that totally isn't a dodge at all. Let's change the topic away from Alaric Saltzman.]
How long are you two going to be in Prague? Are you living here?
no subject
Bonnie also stays pretty silent. Alaric's... not anyone's favorite? It's fine. )
no subject
Well, I'm glad you could make the time. I'm sure Hope's glad you see you too.
[Right, Hope?]
no subject
"I am."
Real convincing. )
It's not often we're all in the same place.
no subject
No, it's not. Better enjoy it while we have it, right?
no subject
( BUT NOT TOO MUCH.
Fin. )
