Elizabeth is so glad that she can actually move around in this plane, because she would not be able to sit in a seat for seven hours. It is impossible. Her attention wouldn't last. She would get antsy and start bouncing up and down and being the most annoying passenger ever. There's only so many clouds a girl can look at before she stops being able to see anything but clouds in them.
Finding shapes in clouds is totally a legitimate game and a good way to spend one's time, okay? Elizabeth is really, really happy to be on the plane with him to Italy. It's another country, and it's far away, and he told her a long time ago that he would take her here. It's nice. It's nice when they get to do the things they hope to do. Life never really gives anyone any guarantees.
She has probably just spent some time running back and forth between the rooms before she finally returns to her seat, sitting beside him and glancing up at him with a smile. "Geeze, that's like asking what's the first thing you want to do at Disneyworld or something. So
( ... )
He does think it's very important to keep his promises to her, and at the time he made that one--at the time he said he wanted her to see where he came from--he fully intended on keeping it, despite the fact he wasn't sure of the when. There never seemed like the perfect time until recently, and he doesn't know if it's twisted that Niko's death helped with that. But he reached closure there, despite the fact guilt came with it, and he knew it was the right time.
"I have never been to Disneyworld. There's... not a whole lot I would like to do with sunflowers," Josef says, and he finds her hand and slips his fingers in between the space of hers. "But I will take you to them first thing once we're on land. I've had people work on the upkeep of the villa, and I've always left strict instructions they were to pay more attention to the grounds than the actual house."
Not that he cares about the gardening or whatever, but he knows she'd like to see it.
Elizabeth never doubted that he would keep that promise if they had the time. If they were allowed that time from life. He has kept all the promises that he ever made to her. The thought of actually getting to see those places, it's had her buzzing around for days and packing and repacking and having no idea what she would need or wouldn't need
( ... )
Josef outright laughs at her blunt admission in regards to him and Disney World.
"I really cannot imagine myself in it, either," he says, and he smirks because it's amusing now since he doesn't have to actually be in Disney World. If he did, there would be a lot of snapped necks when it comes to mouses and children. Ahem. He leans over and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek once she's come closer. He can distract her. For all seven of those hours if he's feeling particularly ambitious. "But then, you might really like it, too. That might be the biggest reason you'd ever give as to why Josef Soltini loves you. 'He went to Disney World for me

[OOC: LMFAO. I needed to establish this happening. :x Even if this is kind of cracky in a way and she'll just be running through the flowers.]
When they arrive at the villa, Elizabeth will jump out of the car and run to the fields of sunflowers. She saw it on the drive up. She saw the waves and waves of them, and though he told her about it, she never actually-- Her imagination never envisioned something so-
Her heart thuds against her chest. So many people would think something like this is beautiful and never look at it again. They would think her reaction is over the top, but the beauty strikes her. It's a field of yellow and sun and brightness.
Her eyes well up with happiness and joy. God, Elizabeth, you're not going to cry over a field of sunflowers. Even happy tears! But the urge is there because she is in Italy with Josef, and she's going to frolic through the field of sunflowers now, careful not to step on or bend a single one of them.
[OOC: LMFAO I AM ALL FOR ANY AND ALL CRACKY THINGS. :x <3]
Josef knew that she would be excited.
He had a feeling that she would like the villa and the sunflowers, in particular. He did not, however, expect her to literally race over to them and begin frolicking with the sunflowers before they could even make it inside. The driver who'd been bringing them over from the airport is very endeared and amused by it, and they share a short conversation in Italian before Josef heads on after her.
Blocking the sun with his hand, he steps closer and just--stares at her. There's a small smile dancing across his face, and he is certainly not going to tell her when to stop.
Elizabeth does not answer him until she has frolicked his way and then she kind of pounces on him as soon as she's close enough to. Her arms fly around his neck, and she grins against his neck.
"I love it. You described this to me, but it totally-- I did not realize what it would look like in person, and it's warm and beautiful and bright. In Italy's theme song does it go... For golden waves of... flower? Because it should."
She shakes her head.
"If this is all there was to Italy, I would be happy. Goodness. All these flowers, all over! It's like... I don't even know!" Elizabeth says, sliding back down to the grass again and breathing in. "...Oh! Is that where we're staying?" Yes, she only just now noticed the villa.
Josef is not ready to catch her, but she's effortless to carry, and he releases a laugh as his arms draw at her waist to pull her off the floor so her feet never touch the ground. He leans over to place a soft kiss before he turns them around so she can keep looking at it.
"It does not go like that, but I'll let them know your suggestion, and perhaps they take it into account," he says, voice thick with amusement and fondness. Her reaction is totally worth it, not that he's not happy to be back here himself. But it's seeing it through her eyes, it's almost like he's never been here before, either.
"That is where we're staying," he says into her cheek warmly, pressing a kiss there before he points to the very window of the master bedroom. A feeling flows into his chest; flows and ebbs and he doesn't have a word for it.

Ffff Josef speaking in Italian.
Elizabeth does not answer him until she has frolicked his way and then she kind of pounces on him as soon as she's close enough to. Her arms fly around his neck, and she grins against his neck.

All the sunflowers. Every sunflower.

He doesn't know it's been longing.
