Basil Benson hadn't let his plan slip to a single, solitary soul. Not even Jezabelle Sherlock. Though to be fair he hadn't found a chance to sneak off to text her yet either.
His plan was simple. Show the prince around town like he'd said he would, with Drake Martin as a secondary. At the end of it, he'd take them to the pub for some lunch and a round of drinks, or two, or three or however many it took to get the would be suitor so shitfaced he couldn't avoid making himself look like a right arse by the time they returned to the school grounds, and Katarina could be rid of him once he'd shown himself to be an unsuitable suitor. He pretty much already had as far as Basil was concerned, but he understood there was some level of decorum Kat had to maintain before she could just boot him out.
And if it worked, it wasn't like Katarina could be blamed for it. She had no idea what Basil was doing right now, and no time to have coordinated such an idea with him what with Alex just showing up unannounced. If it didn't work for some reason, it'd at least buy the two ladies enough time to figure out a more solid plan than this one.
His bronze coloured 2012 Volvo S60 T5 wasn't exactly slumming it by most people's terms, but it might have been to Prince Alex. No way to tell really.
He drove the prince around the town, pointing out spots of interest with his leather gloves on his hands. He kept his eyes out to see if anyone besides his own wards had been following him today.
When he felt like it was getting way too tourist-y, he asked " Who's up for a spot of lunch?"
