Earth Tourism, Tuesday 5th period

[unusual_sith]

"Welcome back, everybody," Lana said, nodding to them. "Today we're going to another continent on Earth. There is a country called France, and its main city is Paris. There's too much to ever see an entire city in our limited time, of course, so we'll be visiting one of its notable tourist sites, the Eiffel Tower. It was built about one hundred thirty-five years ago by a man named Gustave Eiffel, hence the name. It's apparently a very good way to see the city, so long as you're not afraid of heights. If you are, feel free to stay on the first two floors; there are food and shops on each floor."

She'd be going to the top, of course.

"The primary language there is French. My research indicates that a good percentage of the locals can speak our language, but that many of them refuse to, so I'd advise you not to wander too far."

She handed out their tickets and led them through the portal.

"Charlie out here being the devil on my shoulder," Arden grumbled, but did turn to the man and say, "Is it the joy you dislike or simply the exuberance?"

And then turned back to Charlie, "Oh goddess, I need to stop listening to you."

Charles laughed delightedly, both at Arden and at the expression on the man's face. "See? It worked and you are awesome!"

"I'm gonna get detention," Arden said but yeah, his expression was pretty gratifying.

"Pssht," Charlie scoffed. "You didn't do anything wrong."

Besides, she was pretty sure that the professor would just find it amusing.
