Demetri left his townhouse and headed down the street. He opted not to take the carriage, preferring to walk. It was mid morning, not too early, but early enough that the shops and marketplace were not to crowded. He had the latest letters to be handed off so they could be delivered to his brothers and sister.

Demetri knew it was risky, writing them after so long, even more so going to see them, but it was a risk he was willing to take. They were family, and yes he wanted to protect them, but he missed them even more.

He smiled and nodded to passersby as he continued walking, grinning as the group of girls started giggling once they were behind him. If only it was a day for frivolity and not business, he thought ,even as he passed the theatre. That was a depressing thought to him as he reached the corner and paused to grab a paper. Demetri scanned the front page at first.

News lately did not make him happy even though he had to pretend most of the time that it did.

Demetri blushed slightly again, so unseemly in someone his age he thought. Nell coming to the house would be nice yes but with his life being watched, things could be dangerous for him. "I just had the thought that Harry would let you come to my townhouse after the show, for dinner. But I suppose that is a bad idea," he said sitting up a little. "I am normally not so ill witted I assure you."

	Nell couldn't help but laugh a little at Demetri's blush. How sweet of him to feel embarrassed asking for Nell to come home with him. "Not a bad idea at all, I'll suggest it to him if you like. I'm sure he'll say yes, especially if you pay up front and I wouldn't mind having dinner with you if you wanted." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You think so? I mean yes I'd like it and I can most certainly pay in advance if you were not booked and available." Demetri smiled, still embarrassed for well.... being embarrased. He would glad certain people could see him, for he'd never live it down. "So I can't wait to see the evening show, and we'll need to make sure you're free, and then dinner," he said grinning. "oh look a plan of sorts."

	"A very nice sounding plan." Nell said, reclining back on the bed. "Will there be wine with this plan? Or brandy?" He asked, thoughts heading to dinner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demetri grinned and looked over at him. "I'm glad you like it. And I do have some good wine I brought back from France. I think I still have some Scotch and Brandy too. I think having some during dinner could be arranged," he said chuckling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And what about after dinner?" Nell asked, smirking. "What we will do then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demetri looked over and grinned, smirking a bit on his own. "Well now I don't know. Reading, maybe writing a few letters and correspondance. Maybe clean my boots.... " he couldn't help it and starting laughing as he joked. "After dinner Nell, we'll have dessert of course. You DO like dessert, don't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I like dessert but I meant after that!" Nell said, smacking him lightly on the arm. He had been a little frightened then, although he knew the man was joking, but he did not want it to come out quite yet that he could not read or write. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Laughing Demetri couldn't help tease the young boy but didn't want to push him either. As much fun as they were having, they were still getting to know each other. "Hmmm after dessert, maybe more dessert... perhaps in my room? I do have four so we can take our pick," he said teasingly after seeing a bit of worry on Nell's face.

"Four rooms?" Nell repeated, quite at a loss to what to say. He felt giddy and light-headed from all the laughter and teasing. This sort of meeting was something unknown to him. It felt more as if they had simply met and taken a liking to one and other than Demetri had paid for his time. That thought sobered Nell up a bit and he sat up, looking around the room. "It must be getting late, and I have to get cleaned up for the show." He said.

Demetri smiled. He didn't think he was bragging but to someone in Nell's affairs, he was sure it was phenomenal. He was more and more glad for the chance meeting and that didn't happen to Demetri that often.

And time must have flown. He sat up, hoping he hadn't said anything to force the urgency and change in Nell. "I... yes I should be getting ready as well. I don't want to be late after all and miss the show either."

	Nell kissed him again, hoping to waylay any worries the man had. "If you did I would be so disappointed I might refuse to go on and then you would have a lot of unhappy men on your hands." He said teasingly. "Tonight then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demetri grinned as he sat up and kissed Nell back. "I could not have you disappointed so if I must be there for you to go on, then so be it," he said grinning. "I certainly don't need anymore unhappy or angry men on my hands." Demetri sat up and ran his hands through his hair as the sheets slipped away and he grinned at Nell. "Tonight it is."
