Lois would not find the ginger-haired man she was looking for at the Iceberg that evening. There would be a number of Rogues, certainly, and a few would give her curious stares, others glares, and at least one a flirty look. It wouldn't take long for the owner of the establishment to learn of her presence, and soon a formidable looking man who had to be some kind of hired guard brought her a message on a piece of paper. "Miss Lane-Kent, if you would be so kind as to join me for dinner. Rocco will escort you."
Rocco lead her upstairs to a walled off room that overlooked the bar and casino with large windows. It was surprisingly tastefully decorated, despite the obvious amount of money that had been poured into it. Dark purple curtains were hung on every wall, and gold trim and inlay along the ceiling and walls picked up the glow from the low lighting. There would be at least one Impressionist painting she'd recognize among the small but impressive collection of art along the walls, each held in a gold leaf frame.
Light classical music played as she entered into the space, and found her host already seated. The table was spread full with plates of appetizers, and apparently, Cobblepot hadn't seen it necessary to wait for his guest before sampling them.
He didn't rise when she entered, but instead bowed his head. "Miss Lane-Kent, imagine my delight and surprise to be alerted of your presence, wak, wak, wak.... I've informed Henri that we shall be having his lobster this evening, and he is preparing it now." Rocco poured her a glass from the nearby bottle. "Until it arrives, please ... indulge yourself in this sampling of his talents." Snapping his gloved fingers at Rocco, he greedily devoured something deep fried, making slightly unseemly satisfied noises. "His Majesty’s Reserve, Rocco, for our guest." Rocco would return shortly, offering Lois an opened box of cigars.
