Maria's Beautiful Mess
Maria was too tired to head back to Wayne Manor and decided to spend the night at her apartment. She had been doing it quite frequently lately. When she entered the apartment she even didn't bother with turning on the lights. She didn't need to see the mess that was her apartment. It would just remind her how much of a slob she was and it was the last thing she needed right now.

Once the door was locked she headed for the bedroom, stripping off her Huntress costume as she moved and letting it fall to the floor. She just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. Thankfully tomorrow was Sunday and she didn't have to get up to go into the office. It'd be nice to get more than a few hours of sleep.

She tripped over a few things as she walked and kicked them out of the way. Once in the bedroom she grabbed a tee shirt hanging on the corner of a full length mirror, slipped it on and fell into bed.

	He hadn't figured her out any more than she had him. The mystery may have something to do with the attraction. He was sure she had plenty more surprises in store - good and bad. "Can't imagine. I was under the impression you were boring and predictable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now who has the sense of humor?" she asked with a smirk. "I like that about you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh," she said with a chuckle. Stoic and serious he may be out in public, but in private was something else. She had bruises to prove it. "I grew up with stoic and serious. You sir, are not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria grinned. "It's a talent along with a few others I have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What can I say? I'm a girl of many talents. I try." She refilled her coffee cup again. Coffee was the elixir of the gods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Try, and succeed more often than not." he replies, mostly forgoing the coffee and just appreciating the rather hefty breakfast while they bantered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good to know and I'll take that as a major compliment." Maria picked at her food, but coffee was her main focus. She'd need it if they were going to go a few more rounds later. Which knowing them, was going to happen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Same end goal, different means of getting there. She fuels up on caffeine, he loads up on breakfast, having no idea just how long it'll be before they emerge to eat again. "You do that. Plans for the day?" Good to check these things. In case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"None really. I caught up on sleep, which was the big one. The rest of the day is open. Got any ideas of what we could possibly do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here I was figuring we'd do the usual and hit the museums, maybe take in a show. Either that, or kidnap you and have my wicked way with you. One or the other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner crossbow_bat 2014-01-10 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"You actually had to give me a second choice?" Maria smirked. "Of course I want to hit the museums and take in a show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought so. You're nothing if not consistent, with your love of culture and museum lecture tours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner crossbow_bat 2014-01-10 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, because there's nothing better than being immersed in culture. A lot of culture." Maria waggled her eye brows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner anti_venom 2014-01-10 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, positively immersed." he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner crossbow_bat 2014-01-10 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Because one can never get too much culture," she said. Maria ate some more. Coffee was great, but she did need some food to go with it. "Or enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Between his workout schedule, 'work', and Maria, Tomas was making sure he had plenty to eat anyway. "I have a feeling this is going to involve a lot of museums." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smiled. "Museums are great. Lots of culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, tons. When we're done here, we'll just have to go through room after room, immersing ourselves in all the culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay okay," she said. "It can be pretty taxing. I'll give you that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
