An Offer She Can't Refuse (He Hopes)
There's a knock at the office of one Cynthia Lord, by an unassuming (besides the green hair) young man, carrying two clothing boxes under his arms. "Miss Lord? I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm your two o'clock." Riley grins. "Two o'clock until two-ten anyway. Can I interest you in a little field trip while I roll out a business proposition of sorts for you?" He jostles the boxes with eagerness.

	"Awww, Riley! I would love to. And I'm honored that you know you're coming to the best, whether for traditional bridenapping security or newfangled knocking-sense-into-you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thank you! I'd hug you if it wouldn't cause a scene. That can wait until an allegedly more enlightened time." He grins, finishing his burger. "Now, I'm thinking ribs. You in? I've also got a spare costume back in the Sphere to dress up as a local reporter and grill the manager, if you want to come up with any questions and then ride shotgun for an interview."

Hey, when he shamelessly panders to a friend, he goes all the way.

	"Extra sweet, but nah, don't need to. I'm just going to appreciate the beauty of the moment instead of dissect it. So, Where you going to have it, you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh... dunno. Probably just city hall. Parents, you, whoever Dinah asks to be maid of honor. We'll probably do some kind of reception to have a party. Neither of us is really religious, so the ceremony's not that big a deal." He shrugs, then rubs the back of his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy's nodding until the 'ceremony's not a big deal' part. "Heh. Okay, but you really don't have any preferences about how you seal the most important contract of your life?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Riley just blinks, then tries not to choke on his orange juice in laughter. "Of course that's what you break it down to... You might have a point... after all, we're only planning to seal this contract once." He gives Cindy an amused look.

"I just don't think either of us has ever really thought about it. I mean... well, Dinah's more coding and stun-guns than corsages and satin, and for the longest time I never even really... y'know, thought about being romantically involved with anyone.

...would you have any ideas?"

	"Location is important. Even if you do go to the courthouse... we talking the Gotham City courthouse, or in the suburbs, or do you two have some place that's special to you?" She grins. "I'm sure plenty of judges would be happy to do a wedding for Jim Gordon's granddaughter, even if it meant conducting it on the Bug." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There's the playground in between our houses. That's where we'd always meet up once our parents let us leave the houses by ourselves. Default regroup spot in case anything ever went wrong on patrol." He nods, sipping his drink. He smiles at the mention of Jim. He'd met Grandpa Gordon at a few holiday parties between the Kord and Carter households.

And now that was going to be his grandpa too. Huh. Life.

"Not on the Bug. This is going to be a costume-free wedding and reception."

	" Then the playground kinda sounds perfect. You and Dinah should talk about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Yeah... she's good with the whole 'planning' stuff. I'm better with cause and effect." (Reply to this)(Parent)
