pocketpretzels: (smitten)
Monday, Steven and Watts had indulged in a lie-in followed by a late breakfast. Then, they'd gotten dressed up and headed down to the lounge for high tea followed by an evening outing to the symphony. Yesterday, they'd gone to a wine-tasting, from which Watts had come back with several interesting vintages, some of them even local. Canadian wines really had improved over the last century.

Today was- well, traditionally it would be date night, but they'd actually headed out in the afternoon, for a carriage ride tour of Queen's Park.

The weather was a little chilly, though, so Watts had insisted on picking up a couple of mochas at a nearby coffee shop before they headed in to the park, and now he was holding on to both cups so that Steven could step up into the carriage, after which he would follow.
pocketpretzels: (for real?)
Part of the preparations for their trip had involved Watts being briefed on what was and was not allowed to be carried on to an airplane. As absurd as Watts found most of the rules, he did obviously abide by them, meaning their trip through the security line was uneventful, if somewhat tedious. Also, hey, the first real test of Watts's modern identity papers!

So, security, and then waiting at the gate- where Watts's attention had first been drawn by the wine bar but apparently there would not be enough time to sit and properly enjoy a glass before they had to board. What was possible, however, was a stop at some place called 'Auntie Anne's' which sold hot pretzels.

"Would you care for one?" Watts asked Steven as he tugged him towards the counter.

pocketpretzels: (hmmm)
Okay, so this trip had not turned out at all how Watts (or Steven, or Marc) had anticipated, but they'd managed to make the best of it and fit a little bit of touristing in here and there. Like Wednesday afternoon, they'd spent in Toronto and had managed to visit the Jewish market in the Ward (as well as several of Watts's favourite street food vendors).

Last night they'd caught an overnight train from New York back to Toronto, which had allowed them just enough time to fit in dinner and a Broadway show. Because going all the way to New York and not seeing a show seemed just wrong, somehow.

And then of course tonight- their last night before heading back to Fandom tomorrow morning- there was another show, one whose leading man happened to be a friend Watts was eager to introduce to Steven.

"I think you'll like him," he said to Steven as they waited. "I hope you will. He's a good lad."
pocketpretzels: (unsure)
Watts's sleep last night had been somewhat restless; their small supply of 21st century painkillers had been depleted (funny, none of them had anticipated Watts being shot at by a sniper when packing for this particular trip) so his arm ached.

Which was making things like putting on his necktie this morning a struggle.

Watts had been quiet on the carriage ride back to the station, lost in his thoughts regarding the lapel pin and what it could possibly mean. Finding the station house largely abandoned save for the desk sergeant, Watts shook his head as Steven went to sit and wait where he had previously.

"With me," he said instead, as he headed past the constables' desks and straight to Brackenreid's office. )

Watts had indeed gotten the rest Brackenreid had recommended, but he still wanted answers, and so had swung by the station earlier that morning to examine Murdoch's notes regarding the interrogation of the shooter last night. The man had given up little, but enough that Watts had his first solid lead regarding this case.

"Good news," he told Murdoch, clutching his injured arm protectively. "I was able to locate the shooter's bank account."

"And?" Murdoch said expectantly.

'Dominion. The payment-' )

pocketpretzels: (reading)

Checking out the list of persons of interest was turning out to be about as fruitful as their earlier canvassing of the gun stores. Which was to say, nothing anyone had to say was actually of any use.

One more name... )

pocketpretzels: (curious)
The original plan had been to arrive in Toronto on Sunday evening, but that plan got derailed when Watts woke up Saturday morning with a body that wasn't his own. Because these things had a tendency to right themselves by the end of the weekend, they decided to wait it out and see how he woke up on Monday morning. Which was, thankfully, as his regular self. Thus after seeing Raphael settled back at Watts's apartment, they hopped a last-minute portal, checked into their hotel, and then headed to the nearby Scott's Diner for breakfast.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, keeping a vegan diet in 1910 Toronto meant certain meals- breakfast among them- were... somewhat limited. So it was that after a meal of hot cereal and coffee (with a side of sliced orange that Watts splurged on for both of them) they headed out of the diner to properly begin the day. )

A little while later, at the city morgue... )
