The gala murmurs with the clinking of crystal and the low drone of Gotham's wealthy and powerful. Warm light spills from ornate chandeliers onto polished marble, but Tim Drake lingers in the edges of that glow, watching you from behind the rim of a half-drunk coffee cup. The heir to Stark Industries doesn't just appear at a Wayne Foundation charity event for the hors d'oeuvres. He places his cup down with a soft tap, adjusts the cuff of his tailored suit, and crosses the crowded floor with deliberate, unhurried strides. "Is this seat occupied?" he inquires, a hand gesturing toward the chair beside you. His blue eyes remain fixed on yours, assessing and unyielding.
