Charity events and other formal parties were the few things about being involved with Wayne Enterprises that Maria loved. She loved getting dressed up and going to the parties. Tonight's was a fundraiser for Gotham Children Charity and Maria went as Bruce's arm decoration. These days he didn't like going to these things alone and Maria was happy to go along.

She had on a dark green dress with matching shoes that had an inch heel on it. She would have gone with a larger heel, but things could happen and if they did she needed to be able to move. Emerald earrings kissed her earlobes and an emerald and diamond necklace rested around her neck. She did love dressing up and wearing jewelry.

Maria made a circuit of the room with a glass of champagne in hand. It was the only glass she had had all evening and was making it last. She had patrol later on and would never do it with alcohol in her system.

"I would be more than happy to show you some of the pleasures that Gotham has to offer, if you would allow me."

Maria glanced around the room. Just to make sure nothing was happening that would need her attention.

He follows her gaze, just to see what's drawing her attention, then looks back to Maria.

"It would be an honor and a pleasure, Miss Grayson."

Maria smiled and tipped her glass toward him in a salute. "I look forward to it." She looked around again. "This is a rather dull party." Though it beat having it crashed and forcing her into costume.

He finds a glass off the tray of one of the passing staff, lifting it to her in return salute before drinking.

"I hadn't noticed. But if you have something you'd rather get up to, I'm at your service."

Maria chuckled. "That sounds like an invitation to get into trouble. I'm very good at getting into trouble."

"That is an offer I can't refuse," she said as she put a hand on his arm. "Shall we go see what kind of trouble we can get into?"

"Oh, many kinds, no doubt. I'll follow your lead." he replies, starting towards the door with her on his arm. "You know the city best."

"I'm beginning to like you, Tomas Dorrance." Maria hooked her arm around his. "Hungry? We may need some food if we're going to go find trouble."

"Why yes, indeed. I have tremendous appetites." he answers, with a grin.

Maria's smile grew. "Anything in particular you're in the mood for?" she asked.

"How do you feel about burgers?" she asked. "Or do you have another preference?"

"My preference is for your company. And if there's to be food, a lot of it. The rest is details."

Maria affectionately patted his arm. "Then you shall have the best burgers in Gotham and my company. Hopefully that it is enough to satisfy."

Maria grinned. He was just the sort of person she had needed for a small distraction.

She put her champagne glass on the tray of a passing waiter. After parties were always much more fun, even when they consisted of only two.

"I like the sound of that."

Ok, so he may have been intending to scout out some of the rich and powerful, but getting to know one of them better counts, right? Besides, this promises to be a wonderful evening. Far more entertaining than the party. No question, she's his type, at least.

Maria smiled and nodded to people as they made their way to the doors. She whispered a few comments about each individual to Tomas as they went. Maria grew up knowing most of the people and knew which ones were suspected of having ties to the darker side of Gotham.

They reached the door and Maria whistled for a taxi. "I would take the car, but Bruce does need to get home."

"Positively scandalous, you seem to know everyone." He responds to some bit of information, trying to seem interested in the darker side of things - one of Gotham's claims to fame after all, in a touristy fashion.

"As for the car, its not a problem. I rented a limousine for the night, and I love the looks when people see it parked at a burger place."

"I grew up around them," Maria said. "And in the life. I am Bruce Wayne's granddaughter after all."

Maria chuckled. "Nice. I like how you think."

"I'm sure you can guess all sorts of things I might be thinking, flirting with such a lovely socialite. And part of the Wayne family - very exclusive company."

Maria shrugged. "I try not to make a big deal of my family," she said. "I don't know what you are thinking. Though if it's anything similar to what I'm thinking, it's going to be a pretty interesting night."

"If its interesting things we might get up to tonight, then our thoughts are probably much alike."

Maria smiled. "Let's get those burgers and then see where the night takes us."
