Melpomene slept deeply without dreaming, and only woke up when the light between the curtains fell across her eyes.

It was a nice way to wake up. So now, as she opens her eyes, she stirs only slightly, and then settles back into a comfortable position.

"We could even go dancing, though I don't think I've got the right clothes for it... not that we should worry much about that, on vacation. Hawaiian shirts are good for any occasion."

"I'd lend you one of mine, but it wouldn't quite fit," he says. "You'd have to tie it up like the girls in the old Hollywood beach movies--although, come to think of it, you'd look adorable like that."

"...maybe with your emeralds, then," he says. "I'm sure we can find you a nice green Hawaiian shirt. We'll just have to look like tourists tonight."

He sips his coffee, watching her with the sort of half-smile that suggests he is up to something.

Something that may or may not be good.

He reaches across the table to take her hand, unless she pulls away.

For this vacation, he has replaced the illusion of gloves with the illusion of normal, bare hands. It pleases him.

"See the falls, and beyond that... nothing until dinner," he says, squeezing her hand gently. "Well, I suppose lunch somewhere in there, or an early dinner--I do like to eat."

"Mmmm."

He strokes the back of her hand with his thumb. "If I were going to go over the falls, it wouldn't be in a barrel. And I wouldn't let you do it either... though it's not likely to kill us, eh?"

"On a shield," he answers, "a metal one. I'd want a paddle too, of course, for once I'm in the river below. How would you do it?"

"I was a Boy Scout," he says, as though that explains it. "On the one hand, a barrel will protect you, but on the other, it can also fill up with water. You've got to have a lot of faith in your barrel."

"I have a secret wish to spit watermelon seeds off the roof of a tall building," he admits, "but this is probably not the right season, and I'm not sure it would count as thrilling. Unless it involved nudity and a subsequent police chase, but imagine having that be all over the news."

"My mother would be horrified," he says with a chuckle. "You know she'd find out. She watches the news every day, morning and evening. Just imagine the phone call I'd get--there'd be a dozen messages on the machine when we get back, and I'd never hear the end of it."

"...shall we find a grocery store, then?" he asks, eyebrow raised. "There is that tower by the falls, and I think it has an observation deck..."
