For his part, Cameron definitely appreciated a woman who was on time, not to mention curious. Curious got to a person, could tempt them to take a step too far for their own...interests. He'd used that a few times, but today was more allowing a peek behind the curtain, temptation rather then entrapment for now. Always best to allow one a glimpse at the good first to draw their interest and daydreams. There would be time for other power plays when the traps were needed to be set. He'd see what sort of interest was there first. Naturally. He had standards to keep up with after all.
His tightrope spot was tricky to maintain as it was. No sense upsetting the balance till he knew what was possible.
A slight dip of his head and he held out an arm for her, waiting till she got it before turning aside and headed to a side door in the left side of the area, fairly non-descript. "You'll like this. A little tucked away space I found a year ago, something the muggles closed up for finance reasons I guess. I sort of stumbled across this one though most of the others I know of are more accessible. This one is just closer to an area I enjoy spending free time in." A pat of his stomach with a grin and a motion at all the food stuffs down the street. "Growing boys and all that you know."
Was there anyone in the world who didn't know about how much food teenagers put away? He doubted it. He was definitely past that age, but young enough to still be in the growth department. Tapping the door with his palm, the wand up his sleeve hit the metal plate and there was a click as the door responded to a charm he had left here last time. Stepping in first he swung the basket aside out of her way and closed it behind them, using the muggles own bar to close it up. "Not really sure why they barred it from the inside before sealing the space up, but whatever it keeps people out of our way, right?"
Saying "Lumos" and holding his wand up he led the way down the narrow staircase into a set of white tiled stairs where he gave her his arm again. "They still use a lot of these in London and the outskirts but for whatever reason they picked this one to shut down." The darkness was behind and in front of them, shadowing their steps as if covering up secrets and he felt sure that unless she did a lot of muggle things in the city she didn't have a clue where he was taking her. At the bottom of the steps he turned into a wider expanse. You could feel the openness of the space even with it pitch black. A grin as he looked at her.
"You like secrets, right? I can I think guarantee that none of your classmates have ever been in such a place" and lifted his wand with a flourish so the lights came on on the ceiling, drawing the eye forward...
