"Gentlemen..." Dutch turned to Tifa and grasped her hand gently, she looked surprised but gave him a meek smile "my lady, let's go ingratiate ourselves"

As Dutch let her hand go he looked at the small crowd, Arthur was the last to walk out and he placed a hand on Tifa's shoulder to make his presence known then stood beside her

"Okay" he acknowledged Dutch

Tifa had hoped Dutch didn't take what the vile Italian man said seriously, He did not seem to be in a particularly good mood as he was before meeting Bronte on the balcony just minutes ago, Tifa let out a soft sigh as she glanced at the people below them, with her eyebrow frowned she had a stressed expression on her face as Dutch turned around to face her and Arthur

"Go find the mayor if you can, and stay outta trouble. And steal nothing...unless it's information" he said sternly to the three men

"Of course" Arthur said and Tifa hummed in response as Bill, Arthur and Hosea already headed down the stairs to the posh crowd

Dutch caught Tifa's hand when she turned to the stairs as well and their eyes met

"You can go find whatever you can. Be careful" Dutch said leaning close to her, she nodded to him, noticing he looked nervous

"Sure, it's no problem" she confidently smiled up at him and their hands drifted apart

"I'll be around"

Tifa rubbed his arm in response and went downstairs with him a few feet behind her

10 minutes later

With not having much luck and feeling nauseous from the obnoxious attitudes these strangers had, Tifa made her way back up the stairs, not seeing Hosea, Bill and Arthur there yet, neither was Dutch so she went to the middle of the railing to wait for them and leaned her hands against it, looking at the crowd below her, she sighed softly to herself albeit stress like.

Everyone below her in the courtyard, were all stuck up fools, something she really hated but for the sake of wanting to be with Dutch and help, she tolerated these strangers.

After a few moments, Dutch arrived up the stairs and saw Tifa, he smiled a bit and went to her side and cleared his throat a little, breaking Tifa's gaze, a warm smile graced her lips as she saw the handsome man in the tux and top hat, she preferred him in his regular outfit but he still looked so dashing none the less

"If I may say, ms Duffy you look ravishing tonight" Dutch purred as he kissed her cheek and a blush warmed Tifa's cheeks

"Why, Thank you kindly, mister, you look good as well" she said in a soft voice, as Dutch gave her a wink, she smirked at him "You wanna get under my dress, don't you?" Teasing him as her back hand went up to rub his chest, Dutch chuckled softly at what she asked

"Ah, as much as I would love to do inappropriate things, I can wait" he mumbled softly, as he briefly looked around them casually, seeing as they were alone and no peering eyes yet, his hand lowered and brushed against her butt cheeks, against the fabric of her indigo dress, enjoying the feeling against his fingers, Tifa lowered her eyes suspiciously and glanced at him

" 'You can wait', huh?" She whispered in a teasing manner as Dutch smirked at her

"Mostly" he whispered back, while Tifa felt her face warm up feeling his breath tickle her skin, she leaned back to his touch slightly and Dutch gave her right cheek a light squeeze in response and then dragged his hand up to her waist feeling the silkiness of her dress
