Marcus was tired of galas. They were always the same and there really was no point to them. He was much better suited to a night at some dark and sketchy pub than to all of these black tie affairs. And in fact, he would have skipped this one all together if that threat of an attack hadn't been made. But ever since his last run in with the WAP, his wand hand had been more than itching for a little action and he wasn't going to miss out on a possible opportunity to actually do something. Something that wasn't business related.
It hadn't been hard to find a date at the last minute. She was a petite Asian thing which was different for him given his affinity for blondes. But she was nice and not completely retarded. But she'd never been to an event like this and as such, he'd lost her hours ago as she stared and gazed at everyone who was in attendance. So far, the night had been fairly normal, definitely no signs of attacks just yet, but it was still early and Marcus wasn't going to leave just yet.
Glancing around the room in a feeble attempt to find his date, his eyes fell upon a very familiar, and very gorgeous, blond sitting alone at one of the tables. As the tempo of the music changed, he walked over to her, offering her a small smile before holding his hand out to her. "Miss Greengrass," he greeted. "May I have this dance?" he asked with a small smirk.
