Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Once again Isabel was grateful that traveling with Wyatt was so much nicer then regular air travel or even portal. She made it home from Angel's with time enough to run into town to get some chocolate pudding before The Amazing Race started.

Wondering how Michael was doing, she handwavily left him a message then settled back to watch the end of 60 Minutes.

The door was open.

Cimorene shrugged. "There's more to a person then looks." She paused. "Do you like him?"

"I do yes," she nodded. "But not like that. We're just friends. I've been dating Wyatt for the last three months."

Cimorene was a bit confused, but she didn't let it show. "Dating?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She didn't have to let it show. The question kind of gave it away. "Dating is when you spend time with a person because you like them."

"In a romantic way?" Cimorene guessed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"In a romantic way." Yes, she was beaming.

"Oh." Cimorene's brain was coping, really. "Home is a little different, in a worse way, I think."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No dating?" Because that would definitely be a worse way for Isabel.

"No dating." Cimorene agreed. "My father was going to marry me off to the dumbest prince I had ever met before a frog told me to run away. My sisters all got husbands equal to their .... well, they got good matches." She finished politely. "There's not much courting before marriage."

"I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound like much fun," Isabel said sympathetically. "But you're here now. We can fix that."
