" bruciekins? " what a sight for sore eyes! since her feet had touched back on gotham soil, she's been devoid of her usual sparkle. this city has a way of wrapping you in shades of grey and that just doesn't fit with the jewel-toned pallete that veronica lodge has cultivated over the years.
" is that really you or do my eyes deceive me? " of course she catches him as he's about to slip out back. of course she reels him back in to the party just as he's about to make his escape. if she has to work this room for a few more hours in order to keep a watchful eye on her dearest daddykins and his criminal undertakings, she might as well make it fun for herself. most wouldn't say bruce wayne is a barrel of laughs, but that's not what veronica is seeking tonight. she'll get more than enough entertainment out of trapping him in her web for the evening.
" i don't believe i've seen you since, hm, vail was it? "
@loneheir i'm so sorry about this
