Maria finished up the report she was working on and shut down her computer. Another day working at Wayne Enterprise was over. It was time to go grab a bite to eat and then down the costume. Night was coming to Gotham and that meant its criminal element would come out. Maria grabbed her purse and coat and headed out of the building.

"You know I don't give a flying fuck about my reputation," she said to Thomas. The only thing she did care about in terms of reputation was her reputation as Huntress. That one she worked on.

She looked at Tomas and raised a brow. He liked her? Well, it was starting to look like she'd have some company this evening. She did rather enjoy the last evening they spent together.

	"Exactly why I won't be able to ruin it." He did inwardly sigh at the look Maria gave the guy. Great, that meant he'd most likely have to find a way to excuse himself soon and hope AltDad knew better than to ask where she was or he'd just play ignorant on that point.

	Tomas can at least be polite. Yes, he and Maria likely will have plans later - but that's later, and this is lunch. "So, Thomas - she's been a good tour guide, but suggestions are always welcome. Anything in particular I should see or do while in Gotham?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What has she shown you so far?" He looked over at Maria somewhat curiously. Of course by the question he meant where in Gotham other than her place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He knows the answer but it'd seem odd if he was the one to answer the question. So instead he shrugs. "The history museum is one of the best, there's more good art ones scattered throughout the city, if that's the sort of thing that interests you. Most tourists like the rooftop gardens across the plaza for the added view of the city, stuff like that." Though top of Wayne Tower had the best view in his opinion.

His version of 'top of Wayne tower' was in costume and literally outside and balanced on the edge. "Well, Gotham's one of the oldest cities here so plenty of history to work through just with architecture and local stuff. But the history museum covers a greater period and era thankfully so there's always that. I'd recommend it myself. But yes, history is important." Best Egyptian collection on the continent by far.

	"Some people have a thing for rooftops," Maria said. "If you would like to see the view from atop Wayne Tower, I'd be more than willing to show you," she said to Tomas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the pizza place anti_venom 2013-05-22 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"It is." he agrees. "I'm a donor to some of the museums for preserving Aztec and Incan history, so other museum collections are always of interest. And yes, I'd love to see the view from on top of the tower. I bet its breathtaking at night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There was no outward indication, but inside he was frowning. Nighttime view of top of Wayne Tower, the outside one at least, he considered a private thing and wasn't fond of the sharing. Unless she meant the view from the top office, that was different. "They have an excellent collection of Aztec and Incan artifacts then." Considering his mother had stolen from that collection before...yeah it was good.

	"Well then it's settled. After we're done here I'll show you Gotham from atop the Wayne tower." Maria smiled. "Oh look. We're done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan." If he notices Thomas' distress, it doesn't show. "I'll also definitely have to check out the museum then. Depending on what they have, maybe I can talk to some of the museums I help and work on a trade or exhibition tour." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the pizza place cantkeepmeout 2013-05-23 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Luckily he's good at hiding those things. "That wouldn't be bad," he agrees with Tomas. "Well, I should head out, things to do." Actually he had no classes today but Maria and subtlety...might as well leave the two of them to her plans. "It was nice meeting you," he nods politely as he gets out of his chair.

	Re: At the pizza place anti_venom 2013-05-23 01:13 am UTC (link)
	He extends a hand to Thomas. "A pleasure." he agrees. "And yes, sounds like a good way to spend some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the pizza place cantkeepmeout 2013-05-23 01:16 am UTC (link)
	He shakes Tomas's hand and smiles politely before mouthing to Maria as he turned away I'm not waiting up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
