Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Québec City, Québec [Monday, October 20, 2024 ]

It was a sunny, perfect day today. You might not even need your trapper hats! As a bonus, the school had rented a double-decker Hop On Hop Off bus so you could accidentally leave them there! Do not throw them from the bus. People would yell at you in French and English.

Rise and shine, Fandom! Or hide in your ridiculous rooms throughout the castle! Anakin doesn't care enough to find you all.

"I think it's more of a matter of if you want," Eleanor countered with a small chuckle. "Of course I'd want you to come with me, but I'd get if looking at a bunch of old books and exploring the Québécois literary scene with me didn't exactly sound like the most enticing date."

But there was in the way she pronounced Québécois with all of her Catholic school language skills in full force that she had a spark of an idea and added, "But I'll make it up to you, afterwards. Or before. We can do a little exploring and I'll try to impress you with the fact that I actually know a little bit of French, too."

Definitely more French than she knew Urdu, and a lot more French that she was humbly letting on, but, well, it had been taught at her school, and it was bolstered a bit when she'd had a French roommate.

"Okay, I admit that I am not the biggest reader in the world," Kamala replied, attempting to slip Eleanor's arm into hers. "But I know you are. And I know you'd love it there. So we can do that and then go exploring. Besides, my parents would flip if they knew you were broadening my horizons."

"And anything that helps impress your parents more," Eleanor said, happily accepting that arm and squeezing it a little with her own before leaning in against Kamala a little, "more than works for me."

Because even though she would admit that she'd done a pretty good job of that so far, she still felt that she'd need to collect as many points as she possibly could now for the eventual moment when she would actually need them when things went horribly awry.

"Eh, You've already impressed them," Kamala said giving her a quick kiss. "And that's not an easy thing to do with my parents. Trust me."

Kamala had been trying to impress them for years. It took a bangle and becoming a superhero to get their approval.
