Cup 010: Iroh [Video]

[The shot is of Iroh, looking completely relaxed, in some small and cozy-looking cafe. The seats are wood and red cushions, the walls wood paneling with paintings hanging from them. Iroh has a veritable buffet of food before him: pastries and croissants, pies both fruit and meat, cups of soup, breads, one platter of cheese and another of meat. Right in front of him is a silver coffee pot and a cup of steaming coffee, next to another cup full of tea. A wine bottle in the corner of the table finishes the display.]

You know, people here have said that this city...Paris...has the finest food in the world. I'm inclined to agree.

[He inhales deeply, clearly pleased with his great spread of food.]

What is it they say here? Bone apeteet?

[He smiles and nibbles a wedge of cheese.]

I'm willing to share, if anyone else is hungry.

[Jack wasn't too far from Iroh's location and recognizes the signs. He wasn't about to pass up something like that. No sirree. Getting out of the rain and into a nice warm bistro was certainly a better idea than trying to be a Casanova in a city of drones.

He entered the bistro and closed his eyes. The aroma of pastries, fruits, meats and cheeses definitely made his stomach happy and found his way to Iroh's table.]

Ah, Uncle Iroh. Good to see you again, mate. It's been a while since we last spoke.

[He didn't know what to do with the credit card so the money in his pocket was certainly a welcome change than being flat broke.]

[Iroh looks up from the meat pie he's sampling. That flaky, buttery crust and savory, rich meat will have to wait.]

And you, Captain Jack. Please, sit. Eat. [He gestures to the chair across from him.] There's no way an old man like me can finish all this.

Not that I won't try. [He laughs.]

[With a smile, Jack takes the invitation. He picks up a plate and puts on the cheeses and pours himself some wine along with picking up a few pastries.]

Thank you kindly. And with a robust physique you have, one can't doubt your willingness to try. Bon apetite, Monsieur.

[He lifts his glass and takes a sip, giving an approving look.]

Better than I had remembered of Paris though the women are a bit bland.

[Iroh pats his belly as he grabs a cheese and spinach pastry with the other hand.]

I do try, Jack. It's good to have something to strive for.

[He honestly has paid little attention to the women. There's been food to sample.]

Really? What a pity, to find any place with boring women.

[Jack's grin remains and what Iroh said made the point very clear.]

Ah, but the pleasures in life is just as good when the company and the food has something worth discussing, eh? It's a worry less on my head now that I know what to really look forward to.

That is true. I have always found good company to be one of life's greatest pleasures. There's nothing like someone else to share your thoughts with.

[He samples the pastry in his hand, and makes an appreciative noise.]

But I wouldn't say no to this food, as well.

[He lifts his little coffee cup and holds it towards Jack.]

To good food, better company, and happiness!

[D'eon had been wandering the mostly-familiar streets of Paris with a childlike enthusiasm. Never in a million years did he ever think he would be privileged to see his dear Paris from almost 300 years in the future. Even the strange actions of the residents didn't seem to bother him.

After hours of wandering Paris in the rain he finds his way to the cozy little cafe Iroh was in. He stumbles in soaked to the bone with an uncharacteristically large grin on his face. He removes his tailcoat and drapes it over his arm, noticing Iroh he smiles warmly.]

Ah, Bonjour Monsieur.

[Iroh returns the smile.]

Greetings. You do look wet. Please, sit.

[He indicates the food before him.] Perhaps something warm to drink?

Oh, forgive me. I do not know you yet. I am Iroh.

Why thank you.

[He heads to the table to sit down but bows politely before he does so.]

I am Chevalier D'eon de Beaumont, it's a pleasure Monsieur Iroh.

[He gracefully serves himself a cups of Coffee and some soup as only one trained in the proper French etiquette could do]

[Iroh swallows his food before speaking.]

Please, just Iroh is fine. Or Uncle, if you prefer.

I have not seen much of you before. Tell me, have you enjoyed the manor so far?

I am rather new, and I have kept mostly to myself. The manor is... quite peculiar, for lack of better words. I would very much like to understand it more, I have been keeping record of all the strange events. However, there are very urgent matters in my era which I must address.

[He takes a little sip of his coffee]

Although, I must say it is quite nice to see Paris again, although it is many years from how I knew it.

Are there really? Nothing too serious, I hope.

[Iroh leans back in his chair, buttered croissant in hand.]

I have never known this city. It does not exist where I come from. Yet I am quite happy here, so far. The food here is exquisite.

Ed wants some! Ed wants some!

[He smiles.] Well, come on, then. There's plenty to share.

YAAAAAAAAY!!!

[Ed plops down on the floor next to him, looking up at him like an expectant dog. Don't worry, she's got a plate. She's holding it in her mouth]

[Iroh's grown used to her strange behavior by now. Chuckling, he selects some of the pastries and places them on her plate.]

Would you like some tea as well?

[He'd offer her coffee, but she probably doesn't need it - Iroh's starting to feel jittery himself.]

[Ed takes the pastries off the plate then drops the plate onto the floor, replacing it in her mouth with the pastry. She considers his offer through a mouthful of pastry]

If you still want to share- uh, could I have some? [Plus Lili likes you Iroh, so she'd probably visit even if he said no.]

Of course. I don't think I'd be able to finish all this by myself.

[He pats his belly.]

Even though I've had a lot of practice.

[Here Iroh have a tiny smile. Maybe a tiny chuckle.]

Where are you exactly?

[Kaito came in here to get out of the rain and because he was hungry. He pauses and regards the spread the old man has though.]

That sure seems like a lot for one person.

[Iroh looks up from his bread and soup at the new arrival.]

It certainly is, though it's not a lack of trying. Please, sit. Have something.

[He regards Iroh curiously before walking over.] If it's alright with you sir, then, don't mind if I do!

[So, he walks over, grabs a plate takes a couple pastries, a bowl of soup and some cheese.] The name's Kuroba Kaito by the way.

Edited 2010-11-11 07:40 (UTC)

Of course.

And I am Iroh. [He inclines his head in a shallow bow. He'd bow properly, but he's sitting down and it doesn't look like he'll be standing anytime soon.]

[Kaito inclines his own head as he sits down.] Nice to meet you Iroh-san.

[And he takes a bite out of a pastry.]
