Carl's lucky, its not raining at the moment in Wellington when Tiwa takes him through a door and into Civic Square then says with a grin,

"Haere Mai Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara."

That gets a bit of a glance - okay, a lot of a glance.

"What was that, didn't quite catch it?"

"Ah ha. Haere Mai Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara."

He repeats it, putting it to memory as he tips his face into the breeze and inhales. It's a much better welcome than the tense atmosphere near the warehouse as they came out of the dreaming.

"I haven't had gelato since the last time I was in Italy."

(This is approval.)

"I've spent time in both Turin and in Rome."

He can see why she loves it here, with how she bounds down the steps, wind catching her hair.

"I'm glad I'm here too," he says honestly, letting her walk in first. "You might like Rome, there's a lot of old history there, feels like you're part of something bigger than this lifetime."

The cafe certainly does smell wonderful, and the staff is very cheerful as they enter.

Carl believes in living dangerously - if she likes it, he wants to try it.

"Make it two," he adds.

He debates on a reply for a split second.

"First time on holiday, I was here once on business and knew I just had to come back."

She's paid before he gets a chance to protest (he'll get something later if she'll let him) and he thanks the guy as he takes the cups of gelato out towards the tables and chairs.

"Next time I'm buying, you come down here a lot?"

"You should always have places where the people know you, it makes a place really feel like home."

If he's speaking from experience (more of the not ever having that feeling, really) he'll never tell but it's still a valid point.

"Great so I'm going to be surrounded by your family and friends the entire time, way to make a guy feel the pressure," he teases, picking up his spoon and having a bite.



"This is damn good, by the way."

"I was just teasing," he comments, nodding a little. "And you don't owe me anything."

"Loyalty is important," he says.

Debts and favors, not so much. He'd rather have loyalty than payback.

Then it's back to the gelato and the...Phoenix coke?

"I'm not a fan of shiny armor, it's easier to be spotted that way. These days I prefer to work behind the front lines."

Though he was usually always behind the front lines - behind enemy lines, really.
