Dae narrowed his eyes at Yeon who then listed out the possibilities and probability of dying somewhere else before he dies from a plane malfunction. “I’m just saying, you never know what happens up here… you could hit a bird…” And maybe the bird would then fuck up the thrusters and the engine would fail and then they’d fall. “I’ve hit plenty of birds when I was flying up there… It hurts” Like a bitch. 

“Caviar is a rich food that doesn’t even… taste as good as the price it gives” He couldn’t understand how a sturgeon is worth that much. Yes, it was rare and hard to harvest their eggs but to Daehyun, a fish is a fish. He nodded to himself when Yeon mentioned limited French is enough “Right… I can do merci and si vous plait…”

He pulled a face but guffawed because he could distinctly recall the first time they met and Yeon had thrown up all over him, thus ruining his favorite leather jacket. Obviously, it got dry cleaned and the valkyr made up to him by getting him new ones. Plural. “Yeah… I remember that night.” 

His eyes scanned the surroundings around them as the taxi took off. It was beautiful, more beautiful than what he could remember. “I guess I never really paid enough attention to the beauty of things when I travel because work is work…” He doesn’t mix pleasure with them, aside from occasional sex. “First flight… will we be having more of those?” His eyes widened slightly when he saw the River Seine “Not gonna lie, I never realized how dirty it looks.” 

Yeon shrugged his shoulders “It’s fine to be worry about flights, anything can be dangerous…plus fear is irrational isn’t it” he reassured him, he would never judge Dae for what worried him considering the valkyr had an irrational fear of heights. “Caviar is an acquired taste for sure, people who like it, really like it…but honestly most people just eat it because it let’s them show off” the same could be said about designer goods and things like that, even if it was ugly people would buy it simply because it was expensive and made a statement of wealth.

Yeon noticed the look on Dae’s face as he reminisced the night they met, not his finest day moment he would admit but it had led to so many things he couldn’t bring himself to regret “It really was a shame about your jacket…” he mumbled softly remembering how he had immediately found him attractive wearing in it “It should be studied…how a simple leather jacket can elevate your look a thousand times” he purred playfully as he pulled on his color.

Yeon gazed outside of the window as they travelled through the city “I can understand that…” he commented softly “Always rushing from one place to another, chasing every opportunity…never…appreciating what’s right here…” he realized how much of his life had been spent that way, it seemed almost crazy considering how far he had come and how much he had gained…that he never stopped to enjoy the world.

Yeon gave an sheepish smile when Dae asked if there would be more flights “No doubt…we can’t stop our epic adventure at a single destination can we…” that would be a poor show and he wasn’t known for that. Before long they were pulling up to their hotel, clerks opening the door for them and immediately taking their bags without a work. Yeon waited as Dae made his way around to his side, heading inside together.

Maybe, but Dae hated thinking he fears anything else. “Not for me… people find out I fear something, I’ll have a bad rep to follow me around all year long” he teased. “Daehyun Stormwind doesn’t fear anything.” At least, not on surface. He still pulled a face at the thought of paying that much for something that doesn’t even taste as good as it should be. Perhaps it was just his stingy personality. After all, the niveis lives quite a frugal life.

He couldn’t help but to smirk when Yeon pointed out how nicely his leather jacket elevates his looks. “I mean to be fair, I’m already good looking, right?” Maybe it was time to stop focusing on work and start… enjoying life instead. He looked at Yeon with a look that couldn’t be described and then looked down to his feet, “I often wondered what would life be if it wasn’t so… this. I mean work keeps my head in the game. Life has always been more about surviving.”

When they got to the hotel, Dae was busy scouring the area with eagle perceptiveness, something he was too familiar with doing every time he has to go somewhere for a job. Perks of being a bounty hunter.

“This is quite the fancy hotel you’ve got here, Yeon…” It was obviously not the type of hotels Dae himself was used to. “Makes me wonder just how much is this trip, much less the entire thing.” He looked at the interior, they were polished and beautiful. “I’ve never been to these kinds of places before… For work it’s all dingy motels”
