A quick glance to the clock hanging on the wall alerted Estella that she had taken far too long in getting ready for the evening. Standing in the dressing room of the en suite bathroom attached to her bedroom, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. With her hair loose around her shoulders and her bangs pushed to the side, she raked a hand through the dirty blond curls in an effort to give it a bit more oopmh. Once satisfied, she looked down to her make-up box and pulled out a lipstick. Once her lips gave a glistening pink shine in the mirror, she winked at herself playfully before making her way back toward her wardrobe.

She slipped on a long sleeved black dress before putting on her favorite pair of high heels. Although her friendship with Thomas had always been rather playful and flirtatious, she couldn't help but want to put in the extra effort. She had to admit, she was rather looking forward to this evening.

A final look at the clock on her wall and a knock on her door let her know that Thomas was waiting downstairs. She followed the little house elf out in the hallway, a slight spring in her step as she descended the stairs that led to the front hall.

"Oh hello there," she greeted once her eyes laid upon him.

Thomas was looking forward to the evening, as well. He and Estella had always flirted with one another, of course, but he'd been serious about taking her for drinks and reminding her of what a gentleman he could be. She was a beautiful woman, after all. He certainly wouldn't mind if it so happened that they acted on their playful, flirtatious banter.

"You are looking quite lovely, Miss Rosier," he greeted her with a smile, his hand reaching for hers to pull it to his lips. He pressed a light kiss to the back of her hand, his eyes never leaving hers.

"May I help you with your cloak, my lady?"

A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she watched Thomas. If there was ever a more charming moment, it was the way in which he greeted her. The smile widened as she gestured toward the house elf, whom she still couldn't recall its name, to retrieve her cloak from the hall closet.

"You're too kind," she replied, a small laugh affecting her voice. "You look pretty wonderful yourself, darling."

Yes, this was going to be a wonderful evening.

Thomas could see the smile, he knew that he was impressing her, at least a little. That was well. Perhaps more would come of this evening than a mere drink between friends. He certainly wouldn't object if it did.

Once the Elf returned, Thomas took the cloak from him and held it to help Estella into it, just as any true gentleman would do. He offered his arm to her next, waiting for her to loop hers through his before he began to escort her outside. They would side-along to the place he had in mind, of course.

He found himself looking forward to this, even more now that he had moments before. Tonight, he was certain, was going to be an excellent night.

Estella did, indeed, loop her arm through the crook of Thomas' when it was offered to her. With her free hair, she brushed her bangs out of her eyes before turning her head to look at him for a moment. They had known each other for a little while now and yet it had been ages since the two properly spent any time together.

It was something negative on your social life when you only saw your friends at a meeting filled with Death Eaters.

As they approached the outside she wondered for a moment where they would be going. "Where might you be whisking me away to?"

Thomas would have to agree with that sentiment. There seemed to be little time for social work lately, between his official job at the Ministry and the less official one as a Snatcher and a Death Eater. He was glad to have found some time now, though. As much as he enjoyed his work, it was nice to take a breather and spend an evening out.

He leaned in to murmur the intended spot in her ear, a nice little piano bar in a proper wizarding area of course. He was certain it would meet with her approval. It was, after all, one of his favorite spots and his taste was impeccable.

"Are you ready?" he asked her. Apparation wasn't entirely comfortable and he didn't want to catch her off guard with it.

As he leaned in closer toward her, she could feel a flush creeping up the back of her neck. It was mildly irritating for Estella. She was naturally very calm and comfortable in the presence of men, a trait she'd taken to exploiting in her work for the Death Eaters. She had not expected to find herself reacting in this way to Thomas. She smiled, though, another reaction she couldn't control when he described the place to her.

It fit her approval so far, of course. Cozy, cool places were just her thing, after all.

She nodded her head, her arm linked through his a bit tighter as she prepared herself to Apparate.

Thomas would not have been remotely surprised had he noticed the blush, of course. He was, after all, charming and quite confident of that fact. It was egotistical of him, but he didn't think there was a woman alive whom he couldn't charm.

He grinned at her smile, glad that so far he seemed to be impressing her. He expected that would only continue as they went through their evening.

Once she nodded her agreement, he apparated the both of them and a moment they were arriving with a crack outside the establishment they had mentioned. He kept her arm in his as he led her towards the door.

"What would you like to drink, my lady?" he asked her as they stepped inside.
