Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake had been looking over Nikki's wow account and trying to find her a neat gift. He knows her well enough expects something in game maybe liked even more than Rl things. So after a bit of searching he ordered something and it has gotten here today.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki is lounging at her computer, taking a day off of 'work' to just relax and have some fun. In the middle of doing her dailies, surrounded by her usual snack and whatever substances she's drinking for caffeination and hydration. She doesn't check the mail at Tim's place because she's not changed her address and doesn't expect anything to come in the post for her.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake finds it is what he was waiting for, and ends up heading to one of the rooms, he knows Nikki does not go in often and retrieves some things he has already gotten. With a bit of work, Tim arranges things in a box, and wraps it up so it looks like one of the in game wow gifts. He heads towards the room Nikki is in and waits outside quietly.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Alright. Dailies done. And..." Nikki actually has alarms set now and one of them begins to go off. "Just in time to go make sure I eat..." She idles out on the game and gets up to leave the room so she can either make herself lunch or see if Alfred or Tim has cooked. As soon as she opens the door, however, she notices Tim there with a gift. Wrapped. And she blinks. "Wassis?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake had planned on doing the whole Batman sneak in, but the alarm foiled that. He smiles and says "Oh I think it has your name on it." He tells her. He is smiling at her and leans in to kiss her cheek.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki blinks for a moment and then shakes her head. "For me?" A smile at the kiss to her cheek and she takes the wrapped gift from him, giggling some. "It looks like the gifts you get in WoW...clever." A pause. "It's lunch time, or at least, my alarm for lunch went off so...can I open it in the kitchen or living room?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "You can open it where ever ya want hon." He offers her a smile, and says "what would ya like for lunch today?" He asks her as he has not made something yet but is willing to or to order something maybe.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"I dunno. I'm kinda craving steak... but I know that's more a dinner thing. But steak and mashed potatoes with broccoli and cheese would be.... delicious." Which either means going out or ordering something in perhaps. "So I guess a sandwich for now..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over and says "We can order in steak hon, might take a bit, but if thats what you want, thats what your going to get." He smiles and leads her on to the living room. He pulls his phone out to make a food order.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki smiles sheepishly and then follows him into the living room with her package. As she sits down, he's ordering food while she opens the gift. "Make sure they put cheese sauce -and- shredded cheese on the broccoli!" She calls out to remind him as she opens the box to find the plushies. All sorts of colored ones. "OH MY GOD THESE ARE SO CUTE WHAT THE FUCK?!" As she picks up a random purple one and gives it a hug. The card has fallen to lie on the bottom of the box so she's missed it.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles a bit over at her, and makes sure they have the cheese like she wanted and an extra side of cheese sauce. He will grin over to her, and says "Well, I hoped you would like them, but think there might be something else in there."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki gives another blink and looks inside the box again. It takes a shuffle or two before she finds the card. "Wait." She looks the front of the card over and then the back, then the front again. "You got me Murky?! How in the world did you get this? Murky was a limited edition only given out to people who made it to the first Blizzcon and I surely didn't..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake grins over at her, and says "I did some talking and some found some people who could find some other people. I thought you might like it, so I figured it would be a rocking gift for you." He grins over at her more.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki stands up and rushes over to Tim - regardless if he's on the phone or not - and gives him a big hug. The whole jumping up and wrapping arms and legs around kind. "Thank you so much!" Then she offers him a kiss. "How did you even know I was missing Murky?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and kisses her back, and says "I looked through to see what pets and mounts you needed, and made a few notes for future ideas for things I thought you would like."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"You're a little sneaky sneak!" But Nikki just laughs at this and then sort of jumps down from him as nimbly as she jumped up. "I can't use the computer again until after I eat...except food is going to be a little bit... soooo..." She's basically asking permission to go redeem her code now.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "Yea, I want to see ya redeem it, can see about redeeming him, and if you want leveling him, while we wait for food.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki beams a little and that's all she needs to hear before she grabs the purple murlock and goes bouncing towards the computer room once more. Sitting down at her computer, but she waits for Tim before she redeems the pet and gives another little squeal of happy delight. "He's so cute!"
