Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki spent the weekend donating clotihng and shopping for gifts. It's a short time before their trip to Germany and a few other places, so Nikki was trying to make room in her own home to fit anything she buys while overseas. After some interesting meetings, however, she also went shopping for herself and her partner, but had to wait to give the gifts as she was in New York for the weekend. Now back in Gotham, in the evening after a day of work, Nikki comes to Tim's place with gifts - and dinner. "Tim? Nikki's home! She brought pizza for dinner if you're hungry.."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake comes walking out of one of the spare rooms that is his work area. He has goggles pressed up on his head, and blinks "Hey hon, how are you?" He looks over to the clock blinking "Looks like I lost a little bit of time.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles as she sees him walking out. "Nikki's good. How is Tim?" Asking that and then noticing his goggles. "Whatcha workin' on? Nikki has that happen too, when she's working on something and one thing leads to another... at least Tim has Nikki to remind him to eat! Plus...gifts!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles walks over and hugs her "Oh it is a new interface with a micro server, trying to line the code and physical sides together." He helps her with the pizza "Kitchen or living room he asks her.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki hugs him back, a bit akwardly because her hands are full. "Living room is fine. And...no...not quite that. But Nikki hopes Tim likes the presents either way..." She smiles and then would follow him towards the living room with her one bag of gifting trinkets.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit and says "So, you got me stuff?" Hmmms? He will carry the pizza to sit it on the coffee table, and says "I will grab drinks and then you can give me the cool swag?" He jokes smiling at her

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles and nods then shifts to sit on the couch with her legs crossed. "Okie dokie! Hopefully Tim has soda!" And she giggles before opening the two pizza boxes - one a meat lover and the other a weird combination of alfredo with spinach and pineapple. Then she reaches into her bag and pulls out two boxes, one a bit bigger and the other about the size of a ring box. Actually, there are two ring boxes.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake comes back in and does have soda in fact her favorite type. He has started keeping stuff she likes about. He smiles and says "Ok pizza or presents first? " He will ask her, as he hands her her drink and sits down beside her

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki takes her drink happily and sips from it. "Gifts first! Nikki is too excited to eat pizza yet and really wants to know that Tim likes what she got..." She shifts two boxes towards him - as one of the ring boxes was marked 'Tim' - and then she smiles. "Either one first is fine..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and will look them over, trying not to play detective to much with them. He will pick up the larger one and starts to open it. He whistles softly when he sees what it is "Sweet"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki beams. "Nikki met someone named Henri Fountain Blue...he owns an antique shop and so she stopped by. That was the last watch..." Offering this much before she motions to the other box. "Open this one now!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will smile and slides the watch into his pocket, he will have to get a nice chain for it. He then opens the next one and looks at it pulling it out "Neat, does it have a story what the symbol means?"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Well..." Nikki begins. "Nikki is a big believer in the Celtic religion. This is what is called a Claddgh Ring. It...it's kinda like a promise ring to some people? But see..." And she'll grab the other ring box to open it and show hers is similar but a bit more feminie in fashion. "It's a physical relic of the bond between us...as lovers and such. Like...more than friends but less than married... if that makes sense." She then quickly adds, "ButItsAlsoNotAnEngagementRingIPromise..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smirks a bit at this and says "Well, I think the engagement ring will come a long a bit later, and I maybe the one getting it when it does" He does smile putting the ring on and leans over to kiss her.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki returns the kiss, but she's a bit stunned at what he says, so she sips more soda and then reaches for a piece of the pineapple pizza. Which she quickly takes a large bite of so she doesn't have to say anything.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will grab some of the meat lovers to munch on it, and says "So, where did you find these?" He asks her.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles between bites of pizza. "Same place she found the watch. Nikki wants to go back there and look through more stuff when she can. Maybe Tim would like to come along?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods his head a bit and says "Sounds like a plan." We can hit it together just let me know when you want to go." He says as he munches pizza

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Maybe after we come back from Germany. I still need to submit my visa request...have you gotten everything ready on your end to go?" Nikki asks as she continues to munch pizza and drink soda.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "YEa, I keep all my stuff up to date, never know when I will get called to go to one of the over seas branches and handle something." He admits

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki nods. "Good." Reaching for another slice of pizza then. "So, does Tim have any other plans for the evening?" She also takes a moment to take her ring out of the box and placed it on a finger.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head a bit and says "I think I got the project to a point where I need to take a break from it, so I am yours for the night if you want me.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki beams a smile and nods. "So we can eat pizza, drink soda, and maybe watch a movie or two?" Because nothing like food and a movie to satisfy the needs of Miss Nikki. Though she does lean over to kiss him on the cheek. "I love you, Tim."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and kisses her back "Love ya too." He tells her
