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.

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

	"Not really," she admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He seems quite pleased at that, more time holding onto her. "After the next song then? We'll get drinks and some food." Because they'd probably eventually need to move apart a little to keep themselves under control. Glaring people? Challenge him if you want. He'll take you on for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah fights won't break out. Yet. She smiles up at him though when he says that she smirks sliding in just a bit closer. "Sounds like a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There really wasn't much space between them at all anymore. Not that he minded having her pressed against him like this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And it probably made a few guys jealous. Plus now Sarah was starting to get adventurous as far as dancing went. Kept them close though. Plus she wondered if she could drive him nuts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Be jealous other men. He's got the fox with him and he wouldn't be giving her up for them. And her dancing was certainly getting to him. He shoots her an amused smirk and lets the hand on her lower back move down slightly as he spreads his fingers out so that some are where she might not appreciate other dance partners touching.

	It really doesn't help that's kind of what she wanted. She shouldn't feel this pleased and should tone it down in public. She doesn't care too much though right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Oh he's very much enjoying this and has to tell himself to keep it tame in public. So instead he'll opt for leaning down so their faces are quite close. He likes this birthday repeat of hers he has to admit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Bonus: no one is bleeding. But by the time the song ends Sarah will need that drink. She's having too much fun right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:01 am UTC (link)
	That is a very big bonus. When the dance ends he decides to give her a quick teasing kiss. What? It was her birthday and he didn't have any excuse like he was on a job to keep this professional. "What did you want to drink Foxy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"I'd say water but.... I don't think they have any?" She looks puzzled by that. "Something cold. I'm feeling.... warm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose it is getting a little...warm in here," he smirks at her. "Really, no water? I'll check." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Oh god now she is blushing. He can probably tell now too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Oh that amuses him so much. He gives her a peck on the cheek and grins. "You seem to need it. Give me a moment." He leaves to go find her that water with a smile on his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully Sarah isn't bothered by anyone as she waits for him. Which is a good thing because she swears she would be so annoyed if anyone ruined tonight on them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:31 am UTC (link)
	It's probably because as he turned to leave her, he gave a very pointed glare at anyone around the room looking at her. The message was clear: Bother her and you deal with me. He appears behind her, just as suddenly as all his Robin appearances. "Well look at that, found you some ice water Foxy. Anything good to eat around here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:36 am UTC (link)
	She totally did not jump. Instead she turns and smiles. "Thanks." That's a loaded question. "I haven't looked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:40 am UTC (link)
	He teases, "So what were you up to while I was away Foxy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"People-watching," she says with a slight grin. "It's fun." She motions. "I detect three affairs, and at least four angry wives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 03:51 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles at that. "I've seen at least 2 cases of real jewelry replaced by paste without one of the partners knowing. Blackmail usually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Ah blackmail, how crass," Sarah jokes with an eye roll even if shes still a victim of blackmail. She still views it as very low brow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He pauses for a very brief moment to berate himself for mentioning it at all. He'd gotten comfortable around her and he'd forgotten about her problem, if only because he made the effort to push the thoughts of work away. But he's not going to let that ruin anything. Not tonight.

"No class, some people." He glances over to where the food spread is, looking for a way to change the subject. "Hungry?"

	outfoxing 2012-04-28 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh that depends on the kind of hungry he means. Right. Stop that. "A little," she supplies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-04-28 04:08 am UTC (link)
	The tone she says it in has him glance back at her. "Nothing on the menu to your taste?" He probably shouldn't encourage her so... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
