"Not all of us have nifty wires that we can use to slow a fall from a rooftop," Pip said.

Pippi put her arms around Blair and Pip.

"Awww, we won't let you fall." she said.

Victor patted Blair on the shoulder and grinned. "Don't worry, if you fall, I'll catch you."

"You have nothing to worry about with Victor and me along." Walter shook his head at the thought of anyone being afraid of heights since it's not the heights but the falling according to the mun but didn't give them too much trouble.

"If you can't do it, that's alright, but we do need at least one more adventurous person who wants to have dinner in the eye. They don't allow just couples." Spoilsports.

Blair nodded. "Normally I would say no. Perhaps even a hearty 'Hell no, man, what are thinking?!" He grinned and bounced. "But this is a once in a lifetime experience so I'll come along. Plus you'll be there and I trust you not to laugh at me if I'm less than macho."

"I think it'd be wrong or either of us to accuse you of being "less than macho", Victor replied. Then, he looke dthe group and asked, "Eat? No eat?"

"I'm going to guess by context what you mean by macho and say that you don't have to worry about our teasing you for not being it."

He nodded eagerly in agreement with Victor's question. "Eat!"

Pippi says something, but she's already munching on jaffa cakes so it's intelligible.

Victor found a spot to sit down and looked at Walter. "Okay, same thing again. You pick what I eat. I wanna try some more of the stuff you like."

Walter looked around and appeared to be deeply disappointed. "Aww, they don't serve blood pudding here."

Victor's breath caught in his throat, and he started coughing.

He really needed to stop giving Walter ideas...

Walter considered letting Victor worry a bit more, but just didn't have it in him. "Haven't you learned by now that I'm not going to feed you something you find revolting?"

He checked the menu and ended up ordering club sandwiches. "And you can have what I like at Cafe Fina any time."

"Yes, but is it British?"

And then he facepalmed. Litterally.

"Oops."

"Hm... would something cooked in an English-owned restaurant by a British citizen born and raised be authentic enough for Sir's discerning tastes?"

Walter smirked and filched a chip off Victor's plate - the freedom fry kind, not the crisp kind.

"Children, children, cease fighting or I'll have to seperate you two," Pip said.

Yes, it was always fun being the eldest person/adult of the group.

"Besides, British food isn't all it's cracked up to be."

"I don't know, these Jaffa Cakes are pretty good."

"Oh now I should make the obligatory crack about French cooking - we must give them credit for being clever enough to eat garden pests, yes?"

Victor says nothing, instead trying a Jaffa cake and waiting to see how the situation would play out.

"While British food remains as bland as ever," Pip said. "Despite numerous attempts by the French to invade with sauces. That's actually the whole reason behind the great French/English conflict. We were trying to give their food sauce and taste."

"And the reason the French only have France was because they had nothing to contribute but sauce. No, I take that back, they were sauced at the time. Because as much as I love my country, I do have to give the French credit for their wines."

He winked. "And their wine consumption."

Suddenly, Victor's phone vibtrated, and he pulled it out of his pocket to check his voicemail (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/6468.html?#cutid1).

"Hey, that was Parker. She said that if we wanted to send a get-well present to Angel we could drop it off tonight in room 412."

" Then we should find him something good, shouldn't we? I'll even leave the poor Frenchman alone."

Walter finished his sandwich and looked around. "Probably the sooner we get started the better."

"Yeah, but I have no idea what to get him. I don't think anything from the Vatacan gift shop down the road would exactly brighten his day."

Walter pulled a face. There was no reason Victor should know the old rivalry between Hellsing and the Vatican's people.

"I don't either. Do you think we should try for serious or silly?"
