"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

"I just finished a book called Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain. A genius alien supervillain conquered Earth by brainwashing humanity to love him... but has absolutely no idea what to do with it. But humanity is too addled to defend itself so when a new threat comes... he has to deal with it."

At the word octopus,the still visible Basil began doing some weird form of wavey arm dance while wearing the goofiest expression.

"Is this how I get the love of millions?"

Their shadow stopped walking when Basil did, and Diego could hear him stifle a chuckle.

"It's a start!" he chuckled, grinning as he did a similar octopus dance. He secreted a wave at their audience.

He gave a "suit yourself" shrug and looked to Basil. "Let's go, Lord Invisopus. Your conquest awaits!" he grinned, taking his last bite and starting to walk.

Basil continued on, crab walking and wiggly armed like a complete and utter prat for several hundred feet more, until he tripped over something, swearing outloud.

"Aye, that's when he's his wankiest."

The redhead replied, his accent revealing he was 'from around here' more than Diego, but in a different here than Basil himself.

Basil did as requested, immediately shrugging off beardo, but not Diego for some reason.

Basil answered the wrong question.
" I could been someone famous, but then genetics buggered me. Now 'm just'a sometimes invisible drunk tosser who can't keep a girl's attention for more than five seconds."

He said over his shoulder.

"You jus' don't want him t'talk about it 'cause you're th'reason 'm alone in th'first bloody place!" Basil replied, changing the story a bit on his last statement, though it seemed as if he felt it were true no matter how the two didn't seem to quite line up.

At this point Diego could tell Basil was still going towards the school, albeit in a wobbly and slightly indirect sort of a fashion.

"I have literally no idea what this business is about, buuut I should make sure he doesn't get run over or something," Diego said before going after Basil.

"You probably shouldn't be trying to outrun anything when drunk dude. Especially old... friends?"

"He's not a friend he's-" Basil was sober enough to still realize how bad the word 'help' sounded, so he paused for a long while trying to find another word.

"An employee. Kind of. If he's here that means my mum is watchin' me again. Which is why I am walkin' away 'fore I do somethin' stupid!" He announced the last bit back at Harold as he continued to walk.

For his part, Harold seemed content enough to hang around in the shadows and watch after the two young men, following along at a leisurely pace.
