Caritas; Wednesday [02/08].

Don't ask exactly how Summer managed to foist koala-Stark onto Tino. The important part was that she had, she was feeling very proud of herself, and she was giving both of them a very wide breadth to avoid having the koala foisted back on her until the end of the night.

She would absolutely subject koala-Stark to Tino for the duration of the evening so that she could better do her job, but she would never actually subject the poor guy to having to deal with Tino for any longer than that. She liked Stark, after all. But she also liked not having a koala clinging to her at all times, too.

She did, however, have some duct tape ready for the inevitable moment when Tino tried to foist Stark on the zombies and they found out why that wasn't going to go over very well.

Steven wasn't going to try any sort of game of making Llewellyn guess why he was in a good mood given that Llewellyn did not like surprises. So instead he came right out with, "I've an idea for our holiday? Next week? If you're interested?"

Steven’s continued respect of that particular dislike was greatly appreciated.

“I am always interested in anything you have to say,” Watts pointed out with a smile.

"How would you feel about a winery?" Steven asked. "Not - I mean I know you generally like them. But this one's different. They make wines from local fruits. Not grapes."

“Really?” Watts asked, visibly interested as he leaned even more into Steven’s space than he was already. “I admit, that does sound fascinating.”

"Hang about," Steven said. He patted his coat down for his glasses and his mobile, then used both to pull up the website of the place in question. He then held his mobile out for Llewellyn to take if it made it easier for him to see. "There. It looks nice as well. Country like."

“It does look rather- oh. Hmm,” Watts said thoughtfully as he clicked on the restaurant menu.

Steven looked worried. He still didn't know enough about wine to guess what Llewellyn might like in this sort of an outing. He'd been hoping he'd picked something good, but in truth he had no idea how to guess that. "Something wrong?"

The wine part looked absolutely fascinating! It was just-

“Not much of a menu if we wanted to take a meal there,” he pointed out. There was absolutely nothing suitable on the dinner menu, in fact. Lunch was a little better, with two possible options.

"Oh. Yeah," Steven said. He'd noticed that as well. "And it's fifty minutes away."

Steven was from England. A fifty minute drive may as well be a trip to Mars, by his way of thinking.

“Only fifty minutes?” Watts, meanwhile, was very much a product of his time, where a two-hour train ride was considered a short trip.

“If we can find somewhere else suitable for dinner, a tour and tasting does sound lovely,” Watts admitted. “So long as you don’t mind?” he checked. Wine was his interest and not Steven’s, after all.

"I found it for you," Steven said. "You're always so wonderful about finding things for me. I wanted to do the same."

"You- found it for me?" Watts echoed, as if he couldn't quite believe someone would go to such trouble.

(Because he couldn't.)

"Of course," Steven said. He smiled at Llewellyn. "Not going on this holiday with anyone else, am I?"

"I could kiss you right now, Steven Grant," Watts said fondly.

"I - " Steven was taken aback, but in a pleasant way. "I mean you could?"

"I realise it is usually you asking me," Watts said, before leaning over to do just as he'd promised.

Steven kissed Llewellyn back, lingering a bit longer than he might normally when they were in public, but that was due to needing a little reassurance. Particularly as he asked, once he pulled back, "It's good? I picked something right?"

"You picked something right," Watts assured him. "I would be delighted to go do a tasting and tour there with you. Except," he frowned slightly as he realised. "Will we have time for such an excursion?"

Steven's face fell as he realized. "Two hours just there and back. Not counting how long we'd be there. Good chunk of a day. And there's you not spending time in the sun like you wanted."

"Unless," Watts said hesitantly. "What if we- prolonged our trip by a couple days?" Because there was also the matter of finding time to go out dancing, which Watts very much wanted to do.

"Could we?" Steven said, asking the question as much a part of thinking out loud as anything else. "We're gone the week after but - that's break anyway. How long are you thinking?"

"Perhaps come back Saturday morning?" Watts said. "It'll mean missing another day of work, of course..." which was slightly more of an issue for Steven than Watts, given that Watts was the one in charge of his particular workplace.

"Well... really the one day," Steven said, as he continued to think about it. "Break doesn't count against holidays. So might not be so bad?"

"Additionally, Marc did mention to me that he wouldn't mind if we took a longer trip," Watts told Steven.

"It'd give you more time to enjoy the sun and warm as well," Steven said. As always, he could embrace ideas more easily if he saw the benefit to other people. Especially people he loved.
