[GP] Shoot that poison arrow

None of the guests noticed when the spiky-haired man-child in jeans and purple t-shirt, wrists wrapped in cheap leather and metal bracelets, arrived at the Madonna Inn a few hours before midnight on February 13. That, in itself, wasn't all that surprising. Eros, otherwise known as Danny Valentine, had millennia of experience doing his job without being spotted.

What was surprising was that the dude at the front desk did see him. Tall and Nondescript waved him over and then gave him a room number 'in case you wanted to rest'. But Danny didn't.

Want to, or rest. He spent the time before the clock struck midnight polishing his love gun. Not like that. He'd find a girl to spend his nameday with. He always did. No, this little beauty was made by Hephaestus himself. It shot love darts that disappeared on contact.

At midnight, kitted out with more love darts than there were people in this pink and gold monstrosity, Danny left his room and shot the first person he saw--and didn't wait to see what would happen.

No point getting a slow start. He had a lot of work to do.

There were depths there that Qui-Gon hesitated to reach into, even if he'd had an invitation to do so. "Fair enough. Would you like a cup of tea?"

Probably wise, she tried to stay out of those depths herself as much as she had control of them at any given moment.

The question of tea though got due consideration.

"Tea would be welcome." She said finally.

Thus invited, Qui-Gon poured a cup and passed it to her. The milk and sugar was evident on the table, so he didn't bother to point it out. River had already objected to statements of the obvious once, after all.

She added neither to her tea, picking up the cup in both hands and inhaling the aromatic scent with her eyes closed as though savoring it. And she was. Taking a long moment before sipping the tea to marry the taste on her tongue with the scent of the steam.

She liked that he didn't try to fill the silence with unnecessary information.
