Medusa laughs. “Then you might like the roman ruins in Thessaloniki. They’re not as old as the Parthenon but there are still some decent-sized structures.” she smiles.

"I'm thinking more along the lines of the Colliseum or the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus - even if the Mausoleum isn't standing anymore, I'd love to visit what's left." she chuckles. "I know it isn't in Greece. Just a thought."

“The Coliseum is more of a Roman thing than Greek but I am interested in the Mausoleum if you want to visit it.” she agreed.

Trianna chuckles. "I also want to visit Egypt, later on. For the pyramids."

Medusa nods, leaning in so she won't be overheard by the driver. “Can you imagine if I had been there at the time? Those old kings could have been statues by my gaze instead of mummies.” she laughed quietly.

Trianna smiles and chuckles. "That would have been amazing, admittedly."

“Unfortunately, I've never been to Egypt.” she sighed.

"We can go later." Trianna smiles. "If you want, that is."

“Maybe.” Medusa nodded. “Let's get through this trip to Greece first and see how things go after that.”

Trianna nods and chuckles. "Yeah."

She falls silent again, thinking.

Medusa smiles softly and leans against the back of her seat, relaxing a little during the ride.

After a while, Trianna leans over, resting her head on Medusa's shoulder, starting to hum like she was doing before the car had showed up.

Medusa chuckles softly but doesn't interrupt, carefully moving her arm so that Trianna can be more comfortable.

Trianna smiles as Medusa shifts, continuing to hum quietly.

The driver looked back and smiled slightly himself.

"Ma'am, Ms. Gast has really taken a liking to you. Consider yourself lucky. Keep her close." he tells Medusa before falling quiet again and focusing on the road.

Trianna rolls her eyes playfully. "Chris, I'm not that cruel. I simply don't waste my time on people who only care about my money."

After saying this, she goes back to humming.

Medusa grins at the driver's words and nods. “Believe me, I consider myself very lucky to have met someone as special as Trianna.” she assures before looking at the woman in question. “Well, I don't waste my time either. And I have a comfortable sum of my own from selling some of my… “sculptures” and antiques.” she chuckles, knowing Trianna would catch her meaning.

Trianna blushes at the compliment. "I'm not that special."

She laughs, understanding the meanings of the words. "I bet they sell for a lot, just based off of the realistic expressions alone."

“Yes, you are.” Medusa insists. “You are the first person in ages to know who I am and probably the first person ever who is not afraid of me.” she adds in a whisper.

“Oh, yes. I have received many compliments on the details I have captured.” she chuckled. “Some have even said that the sculptures look ready to burst into action.”

Trianna smiles softly at the whispered words that only she could hear. "I'm not afraid of anyone or anything. You're no exception, love."

"I bet they are." she grins.

Medusa chuckles lowly and gently pulls Trianna closer. “Oh, I’m sure I could find some way to scare you if I really wanted to.” she whispers in a soft hiss.

She laughs again and nods. “Yes.”

"Sure you could." Trianna chuckles quietly, leaning into Medusa. "Sure you could."

She grins knowingly. "Mind if I buy one?"

“Don't tempt me, darling.” she laughs with her. “I've been told that I can be quite terrifying.”

“Of course, you can. Stop by sometime and take your pick.” she smiles, not sure when Trianna would stop by since they’re going on their trip tomorrow.

Trianna giggles. "I'll tempt you, sweetheart. I love seeing people trying to scare me."

She grins. "Alright. I'll be there. I have to pick you up anyways."

“Well then, we'll just have to make sure no one else is around.” she smirks. “To avoid any accidents.”

Medusa nods. “Alright. But just a reminder, you're going to have to drop me off at the cafe after dinner. I left my car there.” she giggles.

Trianna's giggle turns into a soft, curious laugh. "Oh?"

Trianna yelps, remembering this. "Shit- um. Okay. I can have some guys tow it to your house, free of charge."

Medusa hums affirmatively. “Don't worry. I don't really want to scare you that badly.”

“You don't really have to.” she assures. “Like I said, you can just drop me off at the cafe after dinner.”

"Oh, that's not what I'm worried about sweetheart. What I'm more worried about is why it has to be away from people." Trianna smiles.

"And miss the chance to bring you home for the first time? I think not." she teases.

“Oh. It's because I would be close enough for you to see me and I don't think I would be wearing my usual accessories.” she explains with a smile.

Medusa chuckles and gives a brief nod. “Well, I suppose if you plan to pick me up for our trip tomorrow, you would need to know where I live.” she agrees.

"'Close enough for me to see you. . .' that would really be a wonder, wouldn't it? Sadly, even right now, I only know you by touch, scent and sound. And there is no distance between us." she says sadly.

Trianna nods, grinning. "Exactly."

“But you're not quite looking at me right now.” she points out gently, looking at the woman against her.

Medusa chuckled at the enthusiastic reply. “Alright. You can call them.”

Trianna sits up, keeping their proximity as close as possible, and looks right at where Medusa's face would be. "I can't see anything, sweetheart. . ."

She smiles, pulling out her phone and speaking the directions to her people before putting her phone away again. "They're on their way to get it."
