Covent Garden, London

Arthur shrugged, "Of course I don't. What is it you want to get so suddenly?"

Francis smile with a hint of mischief. "Oh, don't worry about it. It's nothing much" Francis said, and grabbing Arthur's hand and holding it lightly, he guided Arthur gently towards the mall.

Reaching the entrance, he smiled at Arthur. "Wait here, alright?" He headed into the mall, and entered the electronics store, and stepped out after what felt like a few moments later, a black paper bag in his hand.

"Well, I'm done with my business. Shall we head for my car?" Francis said, winking slightly as he extended his hand for Arthur to hold.

Arthur took hold of the out stretched hand lightly and gave the black paper bag a suspicious look

"Your business there is actually quite worrying, knowing you it could be anything. I swear .. if you try anything.. well never mind. Let's move on to wherever next!"

Smiling lightly, he pulled Arthur along. The two of them walked down the streets, Francis whistling lightly. It seemed to him that this date was going pretty well so far. Of course, he shouldn't get confident just yet.

Clearing his throat lightly, Francis turned to Arthur. "So, what books did you get at the store just now?"

Holding onto the books a little tighter, and slightly pulling back to stop the dragging.

"Hmm,, probably nothing you'll find of interest. Bloody stop pulling me, i can walk you know. Where are we heading now? Anymore detours?!"

Francis quickly released Arthur. He was dragging him along!? "Egad! Ah, sorry there, Arthur. Well, anyway, the car's just right there." Francis said as he quickly strode in the direction of his car. Whatever happened to things going smoothly? Now he had just screwed up everything. Again. Sighing lightly, he opened the door and held it open for Arthur, his thoughts depressing him a little.

" Don't worry too much about it!" Arthur reddened slightly and sat down in the car. Then grinned " So What did you buy, or is a secret?"

Francis slipped into the drivers seat, and laughed lightly. "Yes, let's keep it that way." Starting up the engine, he drove towards the restaurant. "Hungry yet, Arthur? Well, hopefully you'll like the place I picked."

(( I'm so sorry ;_; I never had any notification that you had replied ;_)

"You and secrets always concern me to no end!" Arthur sighed." I am hungry though, and of course i'll like it, it's London isn't it!" A small grin accompanied that comment.

<don't worry about it! it's alright!>

"Hmm... are you implying that you're always concerned about me?" Laughing, Francis smiled, "I'm sure you would. Well, here we are!"

It was a large Victorian-style restaurant that Francis had driven to. Getting put of the car, he went over to open Arthur's door and extended a hand for him to take.
