	Once everyone was loaded up and ready to go, the door was shut and the driver proceeded to take the group out of the hanger and into Paris itself; taking his time and the more scenic route as to allow the winners a time to relax a bit after the plane flights, some which had been longer than others, and some time to get acquainted with each other.

	Claire was more than happy to fill the entire ride with conversation, she was a mouthy one she was. Clinking her bottle to Joels she chuckled. [color=82ca9d]"Ay, that we can! If anything, maybe there is a mime or two around we can shadow box with,"[/color] she exclaimed before taking a long pull off her drink.

	Tas on the other hand just kept quiet for the most part, looking out the window and marveling at the scenery. It was truly beautiful but she could only imagine that it was much more spectacular during the night; it was the city of lights after all. Perking a brow at Jose comment she smirked slightly. 

	[color=a187be]"I say we stand back, let them do their thing. Should be a good show at least, though I wonder if those cards we were given will cover bail money if needed?"[/color] she said with a soft laugh before she went to looking back outside.

	[color=82ca9d]"Maybe I start with you? Least I know you can patch yourself up,"[/color] Claire taunted as she looked over towards Tas. The doctor rose a brow slightly but didn't seem threatened by the remark.

	[color=a187be]"One, never get involved in a land war in Asia, two never get into a battle with a doctor when death is on the line,"[/color] Tas said smoothly as she cracked her knuckles. Claire glanced down and noticed the scars on her first two knuckles and busted out laughing.

	[color=82ca9d]"You fight? Well damn girl, why didn't you lead with that on your video?"[/color] Claire asked, now all excited that there was the prospect of another female fighter in the group.

	[color=a187be]"No, I defend and why tell all my secrets? I prefer to keep somethings, most things, close to my chest as it were,"[/color] she replied as she went back to looking out the window. Claire shrugged, this one was going to be a little bit tougher to crack but man, to be able to have a sparring partner while on the trip could prove useful; least she wouldn't go soft while on vacation.

	Claire was about to pipe up, see if she could get the doctor to talk more but then they pulled up to the hotel and her mouth went slack jaw as she mouthed [i]wow![/i]

	The hotel was beautiful, beyond extravagant and Tas just couldn't get over the fact that this is where they were staying for the next two nights. If this was just the stop off, what in the world did the train look like? They had already been given so much luxury; Mr. Lewis obviously spared no expense when it came to this little endeavor. 

	As the door opened Tas stepped out, quickly followed by Claire. [color=a187be]"Holy crap..."[/color] Tas said under her breath as she just stood there looking at what could have been a mansion for all she would have known from the street. 

	Claire quickly grabbed her bags and darted inside, only to have the shock on her face grow as she looked around. The outside was beyond reproach but the inside was like something out of a fairytale. 

	[color=82ca9d]"If this is the lobby, what the hell will our rooms look like?"[/color] she asked no on in particular as Tas stepped in next to her and gawked as she looked around. 

	[color=a187be]"I have no idea but I can't wait to find out,"[/color] the doctor exclaimed as she adjusted the strap on her bag and waited for the rest to join her and Claire inside before seeking out the check in desk.
