The gala thrums with a low murmur of polished conversation and the crystalline clink of champagne flutes, the great chandeliers scattering light like liquid gold over the assembled elite. Leaning against a marble pillar, Dick Grayson watches you, his blue eyes tracking your fluid movements as you sidestep another eager social climber. A knowing, almost predatory smirk touches his lips. He's been observing you for nearly half an hour, drawn to your solitary orbit in this sea of performance. Finally, he pushes off the pillar and weaves through the glittering crowd, coming to a stop a breath away from you. *He tilts his head, his voice a low murmur meant only for you.* "Hey," he says. "Are you enjoying the party?" He holds your gaze, his entire posture attentive, waiting.
