[Lumière loves the towns and cities of these planets. They're always so full of life and people to watch. Eventually, Eugene catches his eye- mostly because he's blatantly trying to look cool while still clearly being awed by everything. He'll hop over, all smiles. ]

It is amazing, no? Almost too much to take in at once.

[iwantacastle]

[Alright, the talking candle is....new. It's no weirder than a little chameleon hanging out with one's girlfriend, or said girlfriend having magic hair, though, so Eugene here is very admirably not double-taking. Mostly.]

Huh? Sure, I mean, though it looks like one city is the same as any other, even here. Looks pretty much the same as Corona. [He's so cool. You don't even know, Lumiere.]

[servantnotserving]

[Lumière can be forever glad that Eugene's weirdness meter is unusually high. He does like it when he doesn't have to deal with double taking. ]

Oh no, monsieur. The last one was big and bright, full of lights and noise. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. This is more...sedate. Is Corona where you are from?

[He's trying to place the name and failing.]

[iwantacastle]

[It happens, when you're brought back to life by magical hair.]

Uh, oui. It's in Europe. [Potentially Germany. Possibly. Who even knows.]

[servantnotserving]

[There's really no topping "being brought back to life by magical hair", there really isn't.]

Oh. It sounds lovely, quite a beautiful name, no? [But hey, he made a passing attempt at French so that puts him as OK in Lumière's book. Good job, buddy! ] How are you finding space travel? Is it a lot different than what you're used to?

[iwantacastle]

[He probably speaks some! But not much.] Very different. It's -- fun, I guess, but a lot to get used to.

[servantnotserving]

[It's better than most, Eugene. ]

Mais oui. It took me a few months, and there are some things that still stump me about these new worlds. They are fascinating, though.

[He gives a little bow. ]

I'm Lumière, a pleasure to meet you!

[iwantacastle]

[And he offers one back, offering a hand to Lumiere's, uh, candle-thing.] I'm Eugene, how ya doin'.

[servantnotserving]

[Lumière will take that hand anyway, he'll even extinguish the candle-hand he uses too- no third degree burns for you too, Eugene. He'll even flash a charming smile. ]

All the better for meeting you, monsieur.

[iwantacastle]

[Okay, so a candle is trying to charm him. At least he's not sword fighting with a horse.]

Well thanks, it's not often I hear that back home.

[servantnotserving]

No? That is a real shame. People just don't know how to appreciate good company.

[This is his life now. ]
