[ okay, that does get him to laugh - a little quiet one, amused and fond. Lupin moves his hand to the center of back and starts walking forward, gently taking her along. ]

[ He has every intention of showing her as much of the world as he can. And a little hometown flavor certainly isn't a bad place to start when that hometown is Paris.
It's been a few years since he's been back here, but he did live here for most of his life, lurking in crowds and feeling the pulse of the city. He came to learn that certain things happen as regularly as if they were scheduled. And on a warm, clear evening with a lovely sunset like this, it's practically guaranteed that the city folk would come out to the banks of the Seine to enjoy themselves. In fact, that Lupin was counting on that being the case - and, as it turns out, Lupin is very rarely wrong. When they round the next bend, the source of the sound is clear: there's a large number of people spread out on the riverbank, on blankets or simply sitting on the grass, and about as many bottles of wine and little baskets of bread or cheese or dinner. Except for the people that aren't sitting at all. There are two men with guitars, playing light-hearted songs, and a good quarter of the gathering has left their seats to dance.
god i'm sorry this is this late

He looks over at Cardia and grins. ]
Have you ever danced before, Cardia?
