Okay. He'd shaven for the first time in weeks, showered and used that new cologne that he ordered online. Not too much, just one spritz on his neck. It was Pi by Givenchy, and he only bought it because the cologne's tagline was "The Pi man is a man of action who always surpasses himself." and he liked that. Catchy.
By the time he was ready to go, face perfectly smooth, hair perfectly styled and suit perfectly pressed, he looked and felt like a million bucks. Of course, he was nothing compared to Abigail and he tried not to let his jaw gape a little when she walked into his cell and adjusted his tie. He had been right. Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. He about fell over himself when he first saw her, offering a small smile and letting her fiddle with his tie until it was perfect.
The party, for the most part, wasn't much of a party at all. Is this how rich people partied? He listened, mostly, and kept well behaved even when the owner of a mutant Wade had beaten got a little mouthy with Abigail. She dealt with it though, as he knew she would. For the first time in years he had a beer, and it was just as crisp tasting as he remembered. He tried to stick with Canadian beers but this thing was an expensive import; either way it was good. He tried a few of the hors d'oeuvers; the shrimp was phenomenal but the square crackers with the black stuff Abigail called caviar was the most disgusting thing he'd ever choked down in his life. And he ate in Revolve's cafeteria!
When they finally got to that spot he leaned up against the wall a little, taking a drink of his beer. "So all rich people do to party is get dressed in their best and talk about their fast cars and," He put on a false British accent, mocking the last man Abigail had spoken to, "A lovely place on the moors of England, with its rolling meadows and foggy mornings." He laughed a little, then said lowly, "This place sucks, Abigail. Lets steal some bottles of wine and go to the mutant ball. We can drink and dance and I can get the disgusting taste of caviar out of my mouth." Why didn't she tell him caviar was fish eggs!
