Fabien smiled at the woman he was sharing a meal with, she could tell when he was lying. At least, at his pathetic excuse of verbal jumbo to get himself out of hot water after he had spoken his mind for a few seconds and then thought better of it. He almost offered that she should join him for a meal one day and to tell for herself. But of course, that wasn't likely, he would probably never see this woman again. What would this woman make of his country farmhouse? Would she like it? or was this woman used to the best life had to offer?<br/><br/>He was delighted, it wasn't often that he got to share a meal with someone that he didn't know mostly everything about. He wanted to ask her questions but was afraid it would seem a bit rude to do so. He took a bite of his bread as she talked about the beautiful little necklace that she had made. He considered it for a few more seconds, taking in the beauty of it.  "It sounds like it's very important, I'm glad I got it back to you. Only you could appreciate the beauty of it with anyone else it would have been wasted"<br/><br/>He was instantly reminded of the ring he had back at home "You know, I have something similar, of course, it's a different design but a ring I love. I took it off, my father reminding me I should risk it being stolen or lost while on my travels" He thought about her question about his mother being back at home. Truth be told he didn't know his real parents, his father wasn't his real father both his parents were dead but the man raised him as if he were his own and deserved the title, dad.<br/><br/>"No mother back home" He opened his mouth and then shut it again. Fabien wasn't shy about his past and who his parents were but he remembered several warnings from his father. Plus, it wasn't good dinner conversation to talk about such things. "What about you? Do you live close by or are you here on business? What is your story? Are you on some kind of adventure?" He asked as he brought some more food to lips with her name it sounded like she could be on some grand adventure and he was apart of it, he liked that thought.
