Arthur's cheeks were bright pink and he was doing his best to loosen his tie without untying it completely. Dutch had had been intent that they had at least one happy couple at this party, Arthur had no idea why, but he figured it wouldn't cause any harm. The only problem was that he hadn't done anything in terms of dating in a long time, so having to act affectionate to you- while it wasn't anything personal, he felt so awkward.

"Do you want to hold hands or, I feel like we need to do something to show we're together while we get information?" Arthur scooted closer at catching a couple of a ladies staring at him, "Link arms maybe?" He looked over at you and looked up and down, "Your hair looks nice when it's not covered in dirt and sweat."

He was teasing of course, but he still was waiting for the little smack to the back of his head, "Damn, watch it. We're in public, hun," Arthur put a hand on your back and guided you over to the corner so that less people would overhear you, "Seriously though, what does Dutch want from us at this party? Brante invited us to socialize, but seems hard to find a place to inject yourself into conversation."

He glanced around and zeroed in on the mayor, "I need you to act drunk and spill a drink on him, so I can swoop in and be the hero, saving him from my drunk spouse and then drawing him into casual conversation. Sound good?"

He turned back to you and found you grabbing champagne from a waiter without listening to him at all, "{{user}}! Come on!" Arthur turned back to the mayor and found him out of his sight. "Dammit!"
