May 4

When their roles are posted, Lily smiles knowingly at Nina across the small crowd of mostly disappointed dancers, then crosses over to her and tells her they're going to have a party to celebrate. She tells Nina to invite whoever she wants, says she'll host it, it'll happen this weekend, then she disappears to make plans. She leaves Nina without time to protest on purpose.

On the night of the party, she has drinks and food set out in her kitchen. She's invited most of the people she knows and even a few she doesn't -- dancers, mostly, because she doesn't want to leave them out -- and there's already music playing even before anyone has arrived. The intention is to be casual, relaxed, but there are pills in Lily's pocket, for anyone who knows her well enough to ask, for anyone she thinks might need to relax a little.

Nina's doing better now, but Lily has no problem helping her come out of her shell if it comes to that. And she has no problem helping anyone else either.

I gave a snort, knowing that while she's trying to be nice, there's no chance that Barbara or Batman will ever like me. They wouldn't even like me if I wasn't with Cassandra, I'm sure they'll hate me even more because of that.

"They're not going to like me," I murmur against her mouth. "But I don't care."

"You don't?" Cass asked softly, smiling a little against his lips. She could feel the heat from him, from his body. It was a distraction, she should be focused but she didn't care because she loved him. "I'm glad. Hn, are you partied out yet?"

"If you want to leave, we can go," I tell her. I'm not all that much more uncomfortable here than I am in other social situations. I'm not going out of my way to chat people up, but it's not completely miserable.

"If you want to stay and talk to more of the dancers, that's fine too."

"We should go, I have to patrol soon and I would like to..." Cass let her voice trail off, looking at Kaine with a clear look that gave him an idea of her intentions of what she would like to. Sliding her hand up, she leaned up to kiss him pulling on the bottom of his lip with her teeth. "Let's go to our home. I'll talk to the dancers later."

"Mmmmm, okay," I say, giving her a smile. It's no surprise what Cass would like to do. She likes to do that a lot. So do I. Works out nicely that way.

"Let's say goodbye to Lily, then we can head home."

"Hn, okay." Cass said after a moment of pretending to think about it. Cass kissed him slowly, teasingly before pulling back as if she just thought about something. "Then later you can do the dishes."

"It's not like there's any other way they're going to get done," I say. Cleaning is not really Cass's specialty. Chores of any domestic nature aren't really her specialty.

"They would get done... eventually." Cass said. It was a mild fib, she probably really wouldn't do them because she didn't necessarily understand how or the reason why plates should be clean. But there would definitely be clean plates even if she had to go buy new ones everytime they used some. "Barbara is going to teach me cooking."
