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'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."

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

He nods, leading her to the limo, and helping her in after giving the driver instructions.

Maria gave directions to the driver to the burger joint and in no time they were there. The limo did get some looks and Maria was smirking. It was fun to ruffle some feathers once in awhile.

Burgers were ordered and served up and Maria would wash it down with a beer. She leaned back in her chair, her stomach full, she had good company and she was happy.

He has a beer as well with the meal, then another afterwards for drinking while hanging out til they figure out what next.

"How'd you like it?" she asked. "This is probably the best burger joint in Gotham."

Maria stood up and offered a hand out to him. "Your place or mine?"
