Gwendolyn entered with Han-Harrison trailing along behind and went straight to the front desk, smiling charmingly and not bothering to ready her purse.
"I'm Gwendolyn Marshall and I need your two best rooms."
Words such as these were always met with an immediate response, usually including at least three bellhops. Here, however, they were met with an expectant stare.
Sighing, she yanked her wallet out and slapped a credit card on the desk. The desk clerk picked it up and turned it over in his hands, looking as though he'd never seen such a thing before. "Can I help you with something?" he ventured to ask.
Gwendolyn's features always seemed to be pinched, closer together in the center of her face when she was annoyed about something. "I need your two best rooms. You can put them on my card. Now."
"I'm sorry, Mademoiselle, but you must pay first."
Gwen yanked her credit card out of the clerk's hand and slapped it back down on the counter, as though this would change something. It didn't. "Are you saying I actually have to pay with cash? What kind of hotel is this?"
She glanced at Han-Harrison, perhaps waiting for him to argue for her.

He stared blankly back at Gwendolyn and raised and eyebrow at the card in her hand, he walked over to the desk.
"How much for two rooms please?" He opened his wallet.

"[Insert some time-period-appropriate amount of money here], Monsieur," the clerk responded politely, taking the money from Han's hand and promptly ringing them up for two rooms.
Gwendolyn watched all of this with a growing annoyance. Rather than thank either Han or the clerk for their help, she flung her purse over her shoulder and stomped toward the stairs.

Han placed his wallet back in his pocket and followed Gwendolyn up the stairs "What was that you were trying to pay for the rooms with?"

She stopped at the first landing they reached to glance out the window to the streets below.
"It was a credit card. You use them to pay for things, they have a lot of money on them. Or, well...they represent a lot of money that's actually somewhere else, in a bank. That way you don't have to carry it all around, because that could be dangerous. But apparently things work differently in Paris."
She scrunched up her nose and grumbled lowly. "If my father's money isn't good enough for them, I'll make sure he knows it as soon as possible..."

Han stared at her for a moment, unsure of what to say "I don't think they know what one of those are" he said as though remembering something he noticed a bellhop walking toward the stairs he ran over to him and smiled "uh this may sound a little crazy, but could you tell me what year it is?"
The bellhop smiled, he had been asked that before "It's 18__" Han nodded his head in understanding, although he couldn't be sure why.

Gwen laughed derisively at the retreating form of the bellhop.
"18__? Did he just say 18__? Good Lord, people in this country are stupider than I ever thought possible. It's 2008," she told Han with certainty.

He blinked hard as another bellhop walked by, he asked the same question only to get the same answer.
"Gwendolyn, I don't think these people are stupid" he said very carefully.

***NEW NIGHT***
*Vlad escorted Eowyn inside and led her to the front desk. He nodded acknowledgment to the man behind the desk.*
"Drăculea, checking in please."
*He gave a slightly toothy smile.*
"And I need to add another suite, for the lady. Just put it on my bill."
*The man's eyes widened for a moment, but he nodded and quickly found two keys. Vlad searched through his purse before neatly piling an ample stack of gold coins on the counter. He bowed his head once more, taking the keys.*
"Thank you, and a pleasant evening."
*He turned and offered Eowyn her key.*
"I hope you will find it to your liking."

*Eowyn had seen to that Windfola was taken well care of before she followed Vlad inside the hotel. Her beautiful eyes widened when she saw how luxurious it was. When she heard him insisting on paying her hotel bill she blushed deeply. When he returned to her, she graciously accepted the key, and gave him a radiant smile.*
"I am certain I will. But Monsieur, you are much too kind to me. You have done so much for me already."

*Vlad's eyes lowered in a veil of apparent shyness.*
"What is the point of having wealth, if you cannot indulge it in what you wish? I am not kind."
*His eyes lifted to meet hers.*
"I am very selfish."

*Eowyn looked at him with a smile. Her bright blue eyes were glittering.*
"Selfish, monsieur? That is not my impression of you. You bravely rescue a lady from three brutal men, and you protectively follows her through dangerous streets to a safe hotel, where you even pay for her hotel bill. I don't see that as an act of a selfish man."

Then you don't know me very well.
*Vlad bowed his head in concession.*
"Very well, as you would have it. A lady's prerogative."

*Eowyn smiled warmly, taken in by his gentle manners.*
"You are a gentleman, monsieur. I bet you must be quite popular with the ladies."

*There it was again. That quiet. That discomfort.*
"I..."
*He swallowed.*
"I should see you to your room and bit you a good night."
