"At 5" he told her, ordering the check from the server who brought Val's wine. Val.....or Valeata....he would have to get used to calling her by her first name. "However...I think I'll be leaving to get my tickets from the station soon. I'd rather not get left behind today because they've sold out, and I know there are quite a few stops to make on the way." he informed her, though she would probably know this already.
But...he secretly wanted to spend some time with her....get to know her better. He knew still next to nothing about this female and her preferences, and he would hate to leave it like it was....with so much yet to discover.....but then again why was he bothering? He had business to attend to, and shouldn't be concerning himself with females anyways. He had been able to resist flirting so far, but she was drawing him in, as surely as a spider can spin it's web, she was weaving her own web of charms over him.
"If you came from Cosnair.....are you planning on staying here long, or are you eventually going to return to the capital? I guess...." he wasn't even sure what he was saying right now; his thoughts were spinning too rapidly within his mind. "Well I guess what I'm trying to say is, that if you're heading back to Cosnair sometime...perhaps we could travel together....if you like?"
The young meerkat Lieutenant could hardly believe that he had just said that! What was he thinking!? Traveling with this female?! Just what on earth had gotten in to him? Her bewitching looks? Her mysterious personality? Never before had he ever asked a female to accompany him before, and it disturbed him in the slightest, but that was really all it did. It was too late now...he had already offered, and he distracted himself by handing over the proper livres for his meal when the server returned with his check.

Val tapped her head with her fingers. "Oh that's right. I think that you told me that." The femme Meerkat thought about his question. It didn't take long for her to answer him. "I did have a room booked until tomorrow but I can check out early while you go to get tickets. So yes I'd love to travel with you if you don't mind. It's better then traveling alone at any rate." Val sensed his hesitation but it didn't bother her because eventually she would have him eating out of her palm of her paw.
She sipped her wine, leaned back and then crossed her legs. Nonchalantly she caresses her footpaw up the bottom of his pant leg, making it seem like an accident and that's just where her foot just so happened to be dangling. She eyed him seductively over the rim of her glass with her large silver eyes, wondering what he would do.
He was like no other male that she met before. His resistance was great. Normally by now she would have another male begging for her paw in marriage but it wasn't a big deal. Val liked the challenge. She loved the game of cat and mouse. It was exhilarating.

He opened his mouth to respond....and was immediately placed into a rather difficult situation when she crossed her legs and began to gently run her footpaw up his leg. He sat there, his eyes going a bit wider and his mouth just hanging open in the process of forming words that wouldn't come. What was she...doing?!
She didn't seem to be aware of it...at least not until she eyed him over the rim of her glass. Once again his gray eyes were locked on silver orbs, and he found himself being drawn in....falling down into those twin pupils. Tensed, unsure of himself, he wondered just what sort of game she was playing, but found himself absolutely melting under her caress.
Once more he felt that surge of emotion, and for just a second he was overpowered by it. "I....would you....." he was straying into dangerous waters as he heard the words leave his mouth. Oh how the desire for her shot up nearly 10 fold with just that simple touch! He found himself craving for her to continue, to just do what she was doing right now.....maybe even to get a bit closer.....but as he realized what it was he was about to ask her he quickly stopped himself, pulling his leg back so that he could stand up and look down at her.
"Um...sorry....." he had to recover rapidly and think of a way to twist his words into a natural sounding question. He shook his head as if to clear it. "Would you perhaps like to walk with me down to the station?" Good recovery! It was one he could be proud of under the circumstances. "I mean....there is a chance that the tickets won't be available....in which case it wouldn't do you any good if you checked out of your room. Best to find out if there is room on the coach today. And if not well....you'll be glad you didn't check out." he said, cracking a smile down at her and trying desperately not to think of what he would do if the coach was book.
He would....be at her mercy...literally and figuratively. He would have no excuse to avoid her....and he wondered if he would be able to resist her much longer if that were the case.

Inwardly she knew that she was getting to him because he stood rather abruptly and stumbled through some words that didn't make any sense at alll. Val merely looked up at him with a smile dancing delicately over her features. "Your reasoning makes perfect sense Mr. Boneparte. It is best that I keep the room until we find out and so I will go along with you." Val then stood and before she approached Bone she picked up her wine, drank it and then laid some money on the table, placing the empty glass on it so that it wouldn't blow away by the slight breeze that from time to time took place here.
Valeata then walked over to the male and gave him that seductive look again. She loved playing with him. "Are you ready to proceed to the station? The day isn't getting any younger." Her one sparkling silver orbs winked at him as she physically brushed pash him, purposefully pressing toward him and peering into his gaze as she did this.

She was doing it again! Why did it seem like she insisted upon close physical contact? She was uncomfortably close to him....and yet something about him yearned for more of this treatment from her. It needed it....as if it were a fresh breeze from the approaching Spring. There was no denying it...she was effecting him.
"Uh...yes." he said, nearly choking on his words as he backed up a bit and turned away from her so they could start walking. "Oh....if you're going to address me as Mr.....use my last name Lantzer. It just feels weird calling me Mr. Boneparte." he let off an uneasy chuckle that sounded almost forced. Jeez...she made him so nervous!
"And well...I'll have to get used to calling you...Val or Valeata I suppose. I mean....if we'll be traveling together...may as well take the time to get to know more about each other." He told her as they exited the terraced cafe and headed for the stagecoach station......
--------------------------------------
"I'm sorry Mr. Lantzer, but all tickets for the stagecoach today have already sold out." Twenty minutes later they had arrived at the station...only to be met by this rather disheartening news.
"Really? But it's not even quite noon yet." the meerkat responded to the shrew vendor behind the brass bars of his ticket booth.
"I realize that sir, but it seems it's a busy time of year for travel. All departing stagecoaches are booked." was the rodent's response.
"Well..." he glanced back at Val. "How about tomorrow?" he asked, turning back to the vendor. The shrew checked his book.
"Yes sir, you should be able to get some for tomorrow." Boneparte nodded, satisfied.
"Good, I'll take two then." he reached into his pocket, offering to pay for the female, probably a good thing because despite appearances he had no way of knowing that she had very little money.
"For how far?" asked the shrew.
"To Cosnair...the both of us." was the meerkat's answer.
"Very well....80 livres altogether."
"No problem." the Lieutenant said, and pawed over the right coinage. The shrew vendor counted it, and then pawed over their tickets.
"Stagecoach departs at 5 PM tomorrow evening, do be here about a half hour ahead of time please." were the vendor's instructions, to which the male meerkat nodded.
Taking his two tickets, he headed back over to where Val was standing. "Here you are Valeata, one ticket on tomorrow's coach." he sighed, shoving his paws into his pockets and standing by his traveling sack. Now what? They were stuck here for more than 24 hours. A sudden thought entered the meerkat's mind, but he brushed it aside. No....must not give in to that. "So uh.....I guess I could check in at one of the hotels around here....what will you be doing the rest of the day?" he asked, wanting to ask her something more so desperately but holding back.
Chances were though, if she persisted in toying with him, he'd cave eventually and give in to her advances.

The flirting femme could feel the tension between them and oh yes she could feel it as well. Even though she really lacks the experience she was still young and her desires were at their peek. Surely her parents would have a bird if they knew what she was considering, what she was planning.
Val now found herself waiting a very short distance away from Bone as her inquired about the tickets. He soon returned with tickets that he stated were for tomorrow, stating that he would have to find a room. "It's busy around here. I'm not sure that you'll find one available. You can stay with me if you want. My room has a very large bed." She awarded him with a smirk.
It was all working out. Now he was asking her what she was doing for the rest of the day. "Well I have nothing planned really. Do you have something in mind? Do you have anything to take back to the hotel, assuming that you are going to talke me up on my offer." Bodily she bumped into him as they began to walk.

He was conscious of what she was doing, and he moved himself out a bit further from her to avoid her brushing up against him. "I just have my traveling sack....nothing else. I decided I wouldn't need much aside from my clothes and some materials to take with me to the Ministry."
Shaking his head, he sighed. "Oh......such a long trip ahead of me.....I haven't been back to Cosnair in well....years now if I recall correctly. I really....dislike certain aspects about this country to be honest." he said, not wanting to offend her in case she was enjoying herself. Of course...now that he'd seen her....maybe this country wasn't all that bad.
"I suppose your hotel would do....but I would insist I pay for my own room." he countered...about ready to cave anyways. "If you could maybe lead the way....." he suggested to her, wanting to get the setting up the room out of the way first and foremost. She was right....it was pretty busy....maybe he wouldn't even be able to find lodgings.....
