Re: Tim & Effie & Open
Given the size and scope of the event, it would have been easy for him to spend the entire night at the party without passing by Effie. Fortunately, Tim was ready for her when she arrived. He knew what she would be wearing, had surveillance in place to tag her when she showed up and he already had the scenario in mind even as she unknowingly skipped right toward him.
He was on his cell, with the mask of his costume tucked under one arm, pretending to talk to someone when he turned abruptly into Effie as soon as she reached his immediate proximity. "Oh, I-"
His arm shot out to steady her from falling or otherwise losing her balance as his phone and mask fell at their feet.
"I'm sorry, how clumsy of me, are you alright?" He dropped his arm from her waist and offered his hand. "I'm Tim. Tim Drake, and.. oh wow, what a coincidence", he added as he looked at her costume.
He laughed and stooped to pick up his mask, which he showed her. "Maybe it was fate I ran into you, Red."
