Happy Birthday Foxy (blood-free version)
Tonight was a strictly non-business night. And he was for all intents and purposes going to pretend this was March 20th and not...over a month later. So while he may be dressed in an all black suit and shirt with a red tie and a classic domino mask that was just Robin enough for her to see it, but not enough for a too obvious connection for anyone else, he was certainly not really "Robin". That would mean there was some aspect of the crimefighting in there. And tonight that was off the table. This was about as close as to the real him as he could get, that odd mix between Thomas and Robin that never appeared if he was worried about fighting crime or people not finding out he was Robin.

About a week ago he'd broken into one of her safehouses and left a note about the party they were going to hijack for her birthday.

Because if you were going to crash a party discretely you had to do it with style.

And for the two of them? That meant a masquerade party was the way to go.

He had actually thought about what the mask opened up but...he wasn't going to dwell on it right now. Enjoy the party first.

Pulling her into the dance he smirks and leans in to whisper in her ear, in Farsi (he's been practicing), "What do you think? Paste and she can't tell?" He's glancing at a rather extravagant necklace one woman decided to wear. Really, half the fun at these things was to see how many pieces were real.

	She considers the necklace. It's a good fake and looks real enough in this light. So she decides to tell him what she thinks. "She knows. Her fingers don't stray near it to make sure it's still there. Good fake," she tells him in soft Farsi trying to make sure they didn't draw any attention. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

People didn't pay much attention to them as long as they were dancing. He carefully adjusts his hand so it's resting on her lower back and he can pull her in.

He looks over to verify what she says but then looks interested. "Ah but the husband doesn't know. He's too concerned." He shakes his head a little, he could already tell her multiple threads that would lead to that but really...good fake or no, it was never a good sign when both didn't know.

"Okay...how about the jade earrings over there?" He's having a little bit of fun with this game.

	"The color is good," she decides as they dance. Her hand slips around him a little more. "They might be real. I'm not as good with jade," she admits sticking to Farsi. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That one's real. The pendant on that other lady is actually serpentine." Maybe a bat really shouldn't know that much about telling real and fake jewelry apart, but it wasn't like he was expected not to know anything about it. He just happened to have had a very thorough education in the subject.

The hand on her back might be holding her closer than most people seemed to be dancing but he doesn't seem to notice. "What's your specialty Foxy?" He'll stick with Farsi because he needs the practice and, more importantly, because she likes it.

"Hmmm. Good eye. I thought it was," she admits. Honestly him being able to tell that kind of thing isn't weird to her at all.

"Sapphires are the easiest for me to judge," she admits. "Diamonds follow up closely followed by pearls. You need to be careful with pearls."

She doesn't care that they happen to be closer than other people right now. Even through the fabric of her dress that feels pleasant.

"Sapphires? Because you like them or more practical reasons?" He'd admit that jades were only a specialty of his because his mother had liked them. Diamonds too for that reason. And it was so much easier to learn about them when she'd pull out her jewelry as examples to compare to. But that also meant he wasn't so good with pearls. It was an unwritten rule in the manor that unless it was for a mission, people didn't wear or talk about pearls.

Dancing did give them an excuse to be this close, and he was quite glad that he actually knew how to dance. He really wouldn't have this opportunity to be near her otherwise.

	"No. You need to be more careful since so often they can be easy to mistake for other stones depending on their color," she explains. "I can tell the difference." Not until later and he probably wouldn't feel nearly as 'teased' by the dress by then. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Speaking of colour..." He looks down at his tie then pointedly at her dress with an amused look. "We didn't even try and we're matching." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought you'd like the dress," she says with a slight smile. "I do like that tie though... very classy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," he smiles genuinely and gives her a glance. "I do like that dress. Red suits you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 01:31 am UTC (link)
	That just gets a very pleased twinkle in her eye. She likes knowing that he enjoys the dress. "Good. Took a bit to figure out where I left this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well don't I feel special?" He leans in a little to whisper to her, "But I'm going to be glaring overtime aren't I?" He doesn't look bothered by it, if anything he seems pleased and quite amused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have no idea what you mean," she says trying to come off as innocent. Her tone isn't as innocent as she would like to be though. Her 'I am innocent' voice really just sounds mischievous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really Foxy?" He just smirks at her, although he's realizing they're awfully close. "Don't think I haven't noticed all your admirers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"I haven't." She had been paying attention pretty much just to Thomas. And... that sounds awkward. "I'm not um.... fishing. For compliments. Just not.... paying attention. To other people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"I know. I don't give them away so easily you know." He'd been teasing. But he's very pleased to hear that last part. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She is so glad she doesn't have to worry about him seeing how much she's blushing. The mask covers just enough to help with that. "I always figured." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 01:58 am UTC (link)
	There's enough of her face revealed that he can guess she's blushing but not see quite how much. "I'm a tough crowd," he smirks as they dance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That just means I should try harder," she teases. Her hand plays just a little bit with his hair as she says that. No reason to not toy with his hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're doing pretty well," he teases. Although now whatever little distance there was between them has pretty much disappeared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At least they haven't jumped each other. And they're not the only ones who are being very up close and personal with their dance partners. "....I do't know. I could still improve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"Well if you can improve from this I'd certainly like to see that..." At least his hands haven't wandered. Although he can tell he's probably getting a glare or two now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He should get a reward for being so good. Sarah has noticed the glares directed their way. "Should we take a break and get something to drink?" She doesn't want to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you'd like to." Well he supposed he'd need to let go of her soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
