Aha, she had started something! Zuberi felt a little bad about putting Peder on the spot, but she couldn't help but grin and raise her brows questioningly. "My family actually runs a bed and breakfast in the village if you are interested. They expect very low rate of coin but you get a top-notch service and full, family style breakfast and dinners at the table during your stay.. though if you'd rather go out and eat, that's absolutely fine too."
She knew she was being a bit mouthy, so she finally shut her trap; it just wasn't often they got tourists, so maybe she was being a bit pushy. "But honestly, it's up to you two. I just want you to know what the prime place to stay is if you wish to stay." She giggled a little, winking at them both. She really was proud of her mother's business of a bed and breakfast, and was quite sure she was one of the best cooks in the village.. but then again she might very well be biased.

Whew, that was a close one; Peder was pleased that Zuberi hadn't ratted him out to Dilis. He liked her and didn't want to screw things up so soon since this was their second official date. And she kept the excuse short so it would be easier to remember later. Ah well, this was the only thing he had intended on hiding from her anyway; no woman liked to hear about previous dates. "Well, with waters like this Zuberi I am surprised too that tourism isn't at a high!" He grinned.
"Of course Dilis, we can do whatever it is you like. However, I had planned for us to stay the weekend if you don't mind love". He nuzzled her neck at this in affection, he wasnt sure if that was appropriate but right now he didn't care.
He had planned on asking Zuberi for a tour and then hitting up the shops and buying something pretty for Dilis, she deserved to be decked out.
Turning back to Zuberi he grinned. "A bed and breakfast, ay? I think a place to rest our heads and food for our bellies is just the ticket actually. I was going to ask you though if you wouldn't mind being our tour guide; ya know, show us the sights of Midori Beach? And we will certainly stay at your mother's bed and breakfast"

Dilis was very pleased, she liked Zuberi already... she had somehow managed to get Peder to put them up in a bed and breakfast and shopping AND tourst attractions...this trip was going to be wonderful.
She smiled gratefully at Zuberi and nuzzled Peder friendly-like back... it would not be right for a lady to get terribly affectionate, you know.
"A bed and breakfast? Yes! I love them, and if it helps your family Zuberi; I would love to be there. The weekend? Really? I would love that! Oh yes Zuberi, you simply must accompany us on the island. I am sure there are gems that most tourists do not get to see" she winked.
Father had always taught her to seek out a native as an escort if she were to go on a trip with a man alone. It also helped because most natives usually knew where all the hot spots were.

Zuberi couldn't help but giggle as she was suddenly bombarded with both their pleas, raising her paws up in a defenseless motion and giving them a good natured grin. "Oh, I don't mind at all! You'd end up missing the best dat dis village has to offer if you didn't have someone to show you the sights. Most of the larger cities just shove their tourists around a bunch of gaudy tourist attractions. Here though... yes, this place is still so pure and' untouched." Her expression melted that of irrepressed fondness for this area. After all, it was her home.
"Now, I know the first thing about being a good tour guide is to consider the wishes of the people they are escorting, so.. how are you two feeling? Tired? Ready to go? Want something fun or relaxing?" Zuberi rubbed her handpaws together with a broad grin, nearly as excited as they probably were.

Dilis perked up at Zuberi's words. "Well good, I am very glad to hear that you will help us. I would hate for all of Peders wonderful plans to have gone to waste" She smiled. She really was very appreciative of them both; of Peder that he had been so lovely to her thus far and of Zuberi because she looked like genuinely wanted to help them. And after all, a friend of Peder was a friend of hers.
"Hmm... well personally I would like to do something to relax me... especially with the time I have been having" She tensed up just a bit at the mention but quickly loosened up, she was not about to let awful people ruin her time here with Peder... man was the scenery beautiful. Zuberi's excitement was catching, she suddenly felt herself very giddy and smiled widely at the two, she could tell tonight was going to be special if anything.

Peder sighed with relief, he knew Zuberi would come through. Now all he had to do was take her aside at some point in the night and let her in on what he had been planning. Right now wouldn't work as Dilis would be curious but he would figure something out.
"Not to worry love, I haven't known Zuberi to disappoint" he winked. He was teasing her so he knew she wouldn't get mad.
"Good Zuberi, because we don't want to miss a thing! Now, let us two figure out how to make my pretty little Dilis as happy as possible" he grinned. Now if he wasn't earning points with the young feline, he didn't know how he was going to. He knew that at some point in the nice he had planned on purchasing her a special present, but he wouldn't figure out what until he saw just the thing. She was a very fine lady after all and deserved more than just any little thing.
Snapping back to the conversation he took in what Zuberi said. "Well Dilis love, relaxing with you would be 'eaven" he smiled and put his paw on her shoulder lovingly. "Zuberi. Lead us away!"

Unable to help herself, Zuberi wiggled her tail as she plotted her next move. Relaxation.. yes.. that was a very good idea. Being ever so perceptive, she'd seen the ripple of tension go across the female at the vague mention of what was going on in her life. Ah yes, life.. the ones that people lived within the Capital was certain to cause a certain.. panic within a person. No wonder people have to get out and find some peace elsewhere.
All her calculations were whipping within her head within the span of only a breath before she sat up off her haunches, a signal that they were all about to start moving. "Ah yes.. that certainly sounds like a plan, then! But before we begin.. You'll be needing to take yourself to a place of relaxation before we even begin.. and it all starts with the walk, m'friends. In the city, everyone walks in such a rush.. so tense, so proper. Let yourself.. loose." As if to demonstrate, the Midori squirrel languidly stretched before walking a few slow, almost aimless paces before looking over her shoulder at them, grinning. "So come on then, walk with me, and I'll take you to a place that'll take ye breath away."
And so they walked, with the squirrel taking them down a path that led not toward the town, but rather away from it and into the jungle, the wild and untamed growth beat down only by a well traveled path. A variety of animals vocalized as they passed, a troop of monkeys jumping from branch to branch. Zuberi walked almost without purpose, slowing down for seemingly no reason but to look around and drink it in. Oh no, she'd be sure not to take them to their destination until they just... let it go.
(sorry this took so long XD I'm going slow... giving them lots of time to do some soul searching and stuff like that ;D ))

Dilis hoped she would not have to explain more so she was glad when Zuberi was on the move.
"A walk? That sounds lovely, we have been cramped up in that carriage all day." The idea that she could just take it slow and not have to worry about a thing really appealed to her.
The courts were all about hustle and bustle, sometimes she did not think she would catch up. Dilis smiled and followed after Zuberi, taking in the scenery around her.
She was in her own little world until she looked up and realized she was... in the jungle? Well that was different. She heard a high pitch screech and looked up to see a cute little monkey looking back at her. "Well hello there, little one" she cooed, she really did love nature. She just never really got a chance to go out and enjoy it. But such was being Greagoir's daughter.
"Peder dear, it would seem I have made a friend" she said with all the joy in the world.

Peder was definitely concerned about Dilis but because it seemed like she wasn't up to talking, he let it go. He would most likely get it out of her later on, he was good at that. He relaxed a bit though when Zuberi suggested a walk. It seemed like a wonderful idea since neither he nor Dilis had many chances to enjoy the outside. Peder did mainly stone workings which kept him either inside or attached to the building he was working on. No, not much time to be frivolous.
He jumped a little as when they got to the jungle, he heard a loud screech. He whipped around to see Dilis talking to a little monkey. What a love. He got to see a side of her that not many did and he was glad of it. He might not have been so interested in her if she was just a cold fish all the time. He liked his women somewhat serious but they also had to know how to have a good time. He walked closer to her and took her hand, hoping she wouldn't find it too inappropriate but really knowing she probably wouldn't.
"What a stunning place this is Zuberi! Thanks for takin us 'ere"

Zuberi snickered in an almost wicked manner, but raised a paw and smiled to assure them there was nothing in particular she was hiding from them. "Cheeky little things, they are. They're generally friendly in these parts because they get fed by tourists and children alike.. Hey there.. coo coo coo.." But the monkey didn't want much to do with Zuberi and moved away. She frowned, but shrugged it off with a grin. "When they decided to get bold and start coming into town, it's always the adult Midori that shoo them out. I'm not surprised that they be wary of me."
When Peder thanked her, she smiled and inclined her head in a brief nod. "You are very welcome. There's nothing I love more than sharing the beauty of my home region with others."
