Sarah had been in Gotham for far too long. She had done everything asked of her to the best of her ability too and it still was not enough. After her last meeting with the person she was forced to work for she was hit with a deep wave of depression and helplessness.

Which is why she hadn't gone out to scare up some trouble. Instead she was well into her second bottle of wine and still taking a bubble bath trying to feel better. It really wasn't helping. She just kept getting more and more blue feeling the longer she sat there in the still hot water.

Slowly she stretches and drains off some water so she can not only add more hot water to the tub but she needed to rinse her hair again.

It was because of that she din't detect someone finding their way into the darkened safe house.

No it really doesn't help, especially since being trained by a detective means he has to notice everything. Which isn't always the best thing around her, too distracting.

"Let's see if you've stocked the fridge of this place decently." He'd seen some of her other safehouses on his mission to find as many as possible and some were very poorly stocked. Which just meant she didn't use the place but still.

"Don't trip Foxy," he teases.

	"If not I can always order take out. You could.... I don't know. Lurk. In the shadows." she shrugged as she did her very best to walk straight as she headed for the kitchen. "I'm not going to trip." And then she does just that stumbling slightly. "It's fine! I'm fine.... Really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He jokes a little, "Why? Embarassed by me?" He knew it, she really had had enough to drink. Catching her by the arm as she stumbles he gives her a deadpan look, "Right. And I'm Superman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They might assume we're having kinky sex games," she deadpans at him. "No more wine," Sarah decides. "Water. Or juice instead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well that would only be true if you were wearing the leather," he shoots back. Sneaking a peek into her fridge to see what she has he says, "I'll take some form of caffiene. But I'm cutting you off from any alcohol, and caffiene actually. You need sleep." Pause. "And that means no kinky sex games Foxy." He couldn't help it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So you don't want me to put on my leathers and start real flirting," she teases. "Yeah no... I'm not up for that." She glances at him again. "I need to stay up for a little while longer. At least until I'm sure I'm not too drunk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You said you're not up for it. We can always stick to 'fake' flirting if it's too much for you. I'd hate to overwhelm you," he smirks back. "...Need company? I can spare some time," he offers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-21 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Well.... in my current state I'd probably start offering some interesting ideas if I thought you'd take me up on them," she is trying so hard to not smirk. The smirk fades and she nods. "I'm not in the best mood right now. I'd like the company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well you're clearly not all that drunk if you can censor yourself like that," he teases. Gently tugging her towards her living room he gives her a reassuring smile, "Order take out and I'll keep you company and listen to any drunk ramblings you have. Deal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh trust me Boy Wonder..... you should be happy I'm not offering to break out some of my more colorful ideas," she's starting to smirk. "All right let's see... what do I want." She thinks about it them calls up a pizza place because she's a little lazy and places an order. Pizza is nice anyways. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't know...I'd like to hear these ideas. See what goes on in Foxy's head," he smirks back. He's curious to see if she's drunk enough to admit some of them.

While waiting he finds a tissue and discretely shoves it into his injured fist so he doesn't make a mess around her place. Late night Gotham pizza? One of the great things about Gotham was how much food was still available at this time of night.

	"I don't think so. I know better.... if you start egging me on I'll say something really.... out there." Now Sarah is blushing because of that. It says so much about what she might say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They sit on her couch as they wait for pizza. Oh yes he'll be egging her about it. Besides, it seemed to keep her mind off of her worries. "Really? Sure you don't want to tell me even one little idea?" He leans in a bit closer and shoots a charming smile her way, "What are these interesting ideas that involve me Foxy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-21 01:08 am UTC (link)
	She actually blushes. "Now that's not fair asking me right now.... especially when you call me Foxy." The way she says that indicates she kind of likes that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He can't help but smile more, it was fun getting her to blush. Especially given all the teasing she did.

"You know I don't play fair." Tilting his head he asks her again, "Come on Foxy. What's one of your colourful ideas that'll be really...out there? Who knows...maybe it won't be so extreme." It'd be interesting to see how she viewed him. And he's well aware getting her to admit any of these things sober would be much more difficult.

	She slowly blushes again. "I had thoughts abput roof tops and.... creative angles since you have reach and flexibility." Oh why did she just admit that. She decides to look else where. He's too charming for her own good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's hard to keep the smile off his face. Sure he had thoughts, lots of them, about her in that way, but it was nice to see she thought of him in the same way.

"Really? That doesn't seem so out there. If anything it's reasonable..." Feeling a little bolder he decides to see if he can get anything else out of her. "Here I thought it was something more...creative. You're holding back on me here," he teases.

He isn't quite sure why he's pushing this considering how he'd been conflicted about everything but...she needed cheering up and he was far too curious for his own good. Hey, it wasn't everyday that he could get her to admit these things, so yes he'd try and seize the opportunity.

	"Oh I don't know I think they're out there for someone who hasn't done anything like that before." And.... shit. She did not just admit that. She blushes a little more and awkwardly looks away. Maybe he doesn't know exactly what she means. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-21 01:47 am UTC (link)
	He chuckles, not entirely getting what she means, "Well most people can't say they've had experience on rooftops." She was far too good a tease for him to think that she'd never at all. Not on a rooftop he could see. "Sure you don't want to tell me any others? Hmmm Foxy?" Even if she didn't tell him, the blushing was too cute. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No not just that. The whole thing." Why can't she stop talking? Oh hell. She's got to learn to shut her mouth while drunk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-21 02:04 am UTC (link)
	He raises an eyebrow at her, not exactly sure if she's saying what he thinks she is. Nah, after how handsy she got the other night he doubted it. She was just drunk. "Mhmm, right Foxy. Well I'll be sure to remember the rooftop thing don't worry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-21 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Well for later," she says dismissively. "I don't want my first time to be on a roof." If he doesn't get it now he might not ever. Sarah hears the door bell so she goes to find some cash to pay for her food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-21 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Wait what? He blinks in surprise at her as she leaves to pay for the pizza. Well that couldn't be...surely she had...oh this was confusing. When she comes back with the pizza he gives her a confused look and gestures a bit, "Wait. First time? You've never....?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've had to work with the mob and only know people in my profession... Would you have let one of those thugs touch you?" She's going to set the pizza down and look for a plate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right but...I mean there are people you meet outside and...Sorry, I just assumed that...you know." Of all the things she'd admit while drunk, this was certainly last on his list of expected confessions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
