She stared at him for a few moments before breaking into a small tiffle of giggles as she was smiling. "You really are pretty naive when it comes to the world and the different cultures that live in it." Scooting close to him to cast a glance out the window, blues looking to see that they were approaching the city and would be going through the gates soon enough.

"So never had Italian, hmm? It's truly a wonderful type of food. Much of it is pasta or noodles, like....they are made from grains, like wheat, and then with flour, milk, and I think some eggs too at times. And they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are long and thin and you have to eat them really carefully. Others are noodle shaped, a curved, short tube. There are also little spiral ones that are just fun to eat. But that is not the best part! Along with the noodles, they add in all sorts of sauces. Some of them are tomato flavored and that is generally called spaghetti, but then they also have white sauces that, well, I'm not really sure what it tastes like, but those are sometimes called alfredo sauces. And of course you can add different types of meat to be throw in too, which just helps to bring out the flavor. And to top off almost every dish they add heaps of different types of cheeses! Or it is indeed a most wonderful culture of food! I can't wait to see how you like it!"

She was just absolutely grinning as she carried on in this way, talking and rambling and just going on and on, but that was how she was when she could teach someone about something, and she dearly loved the vastness and uniqueness of all the cultures of the world. But in all her talking, she noted they had passed into the city, the carriage riding smoother upon the roads as they went up the main roads towards the Café Le’Rome. Pulling up at the front of the restaurant, Brianne heard Rodriguez hop down from the driver's seat of the carriage and soon after the door opened, a hand of his extending out for Brianne to gently rest her own in as she stepped down, her free hand holding up the skirt of her dress. Intentional or not, there were a few individuals lined up along side the entry way, grinning at the beauty in pink. Brianne gave them all a smile and a gentle wave before turning to see if Adra was following along, hearing suddenly a gasp of awe from the crowd as she did indeed have a gentleman with her.

Gently, she reached out and took his hand, whispering softly as she pulled him close, "Just smile and let's move on. I will have time to answer all people's questions another day." Stepping inside as Bonifore quickly ushered them in and towards a table in the back corner, away from window, elevated slightly as Brianne stepped up to it and turned to look over the other patrons, feeling a few eyes on them. She just smiled softly as she waited for Adra to hopefully get a little comfortable.
