"Yes, please." Lucas nodded. "She promised to let me know the extent of her mother's injuries at a later date, don't worry. Looks like you won't have to save me this time around, though."

Robin had the number of the Palace on speed dial, since Lucas was there so often and she was constantly confirming his reservations. "Hello, this is Robin Crest. I'm Mr. Lucas Knight's personal assistant, I–" Pause. "No, I was actually calling to cancel." Pause. "Why not?" A long pause here. "Oh. I see." Pause. "Yes, I'll let him know." Pause. "Yes, thank you." Robin hung up and looked back over at him. "You can't cancel, sir."

Lucas blinked, his hand pausing in his hair. "Why not? It's a reservation for two, and now there's only one person to go."

"They said that you supposedly already paid extra for the table, and they can't do a refund," she explained what she'd been told over the phone. "It's either you don't go and loose the money, or you find someone else to take." These had been the words from the Palace employee. She wasn't attempting to suggest anything.

Lucas muttered to himself as he thought, looking around to try and spark an idea. And then his eyes landed on Robin, lighting up with the makings of a plan. "What are you doing tonight?"

She blinked. "Um… working, sir."

"True, true. How would you like a change of scenery, though?" He raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised she hadn't quite gotten what he was getting to.

A change of scen– It struck her very suddenly. "Sir?"

"I'll pay, of course." He said, smile widening as it hit her. "And you'd still be doing your job, because you'd be with me."

She bit her lip hesitantly, thinking it over. The cap to her pen remained adorably tucked behind her ear.

"It's free food, right?" He raised an eyebrow. "You really want to turn down free food? It's good food, too."

She blushed a little. "Alright. Only if it isn't too much trouble, sir…"

"Of course not, love." He flashed her a brilliant smile. She looks adorable when she blushes. "You might have to change into something more formal though. Do I need to have someone grab something?"

(Oh my God, what if he takes her to dinner and dancing? Pardon my sap, I'm a hopeless romantic.)

"Oh, right!" she exclaimed suddenly. "Um… yes. Please. Sir."

((YES. At the same place, or different?))

He nodded, pulling out his phone as he turned around, heading for his office. "Six o'clock, love!"

(You decide. Either would be cute ~.~)

"Six o'clock," she repeated quietly. A small smile grew on her face.

(Time skip?)

(I was planning on it ;P)

Robin looked at herself in the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her. She turned to the side a couple times, smoothing out her dress as she did so. There was no way that this was what she looked like. She'd curled her hair a bit so it hung in delicate waves around her face. In addition, she'd applied light makeup to her face so she'd look decent. Silver earrings hung in her ears. She looked… beautiful.

Lucas adjusted the cuff of his navy suit jacket, humming. Once he'd sat down in his office, he had called someone to pick up a dress for Robin. While he vaguely knew what the dress looked like, he was curious to see Robin in it. I'm fairly certain she could pull off anything though.

Taking a deep breath, Robin stepped out from the bathroom and saw Mr. Knight standing a little bit away with his back to her. She shyly cleared her throat and said, "Sir?"

Lucas turned, opening his mouth to say something. Whatever it was died on his tongue, and his mind went completely blank, unable to do anything but catch flies.

Robin blushed. "Is, um, is there a problem, sir?" she asked shyly, feeling suddenly very self-conscious about her appearance.

Lucas shook his head, clearing his throat. "Not at all. You look-stunning."

Her blush deepened at the remark. "Oh. Um… thank you, sir," she said. Her fingers absently reached up and brushed her hair behind her ear. "Shouldn't we be leaving now?"

"Oh. Uh, right." He almost looked flustered as he nodded, pressing the button for the elevator. Once it dinged, he gestured for her to step in first. "After you, love."
