She searched and searched for the perfect dress and she felt she had found it. In the dark purple long gown, heels, and mask Zita was ready for the party. Her arm was around Adam's and she thought he looked amazing this evening though she was worried that he would struggle without his glasses. As they walked in she couldn't help but think about the last time there was a more formal event in this very spot. It wasn't until Adam's question that her thoughts left and she found herself blinking at him.

What? He was joking, right? "I would think after two years you would call me your girlfriend, unless she are embarrassed to be with me in front of your coworkers."

Maybe this night wasn't going to be all she had thought it would.

”Vhat?” Of course he called her his girlfriend. No, he wasn’t embarrassed by her. What was she going on about? If there was one thing that Adam had learned about Zita in the past two years, it was that the woman often seemed rather suspicious. Perhaps that was his fault. He had, as she had put it, taken his time to move from friend to boyfriend. It was perhaps a good thing that Adam was more blasé about things. It kept them from some very silly arguments sometimes.

Still, he wasn’t sure what had triggered Zita this time. Was it being in the Ministry? She did really detest this place something fierce. He went over what he had said and figured something must have gotten lost in translation. Sure, Adam had gotten better with the greatly confusing language that was English, but he still sometimes didn’t get things right. ”Ze masks,” tried to clarify, perhaps sounding a bit baffled. He had meant, how would he introduce her to anyone with everyone wearing masks. The man was basically a step above blind and well, he already had problems identifying people on a good day.

Did he see anyone he knew? Just Luther, and... oh look, Jessica's boss. Conley. David did NOT want to talk to him again, so he did his best to steer his date in the opposite direction.

And in case she had any more silly ideas that he was embarrassed by her, he slipped an arm around her waist and gave her a quick, but pointed kiss. ”You look extra beautiful tonight.” And then as if to clarify things further (and to also make a statement) he reached out in a way that looked sorta like a wave but was intended to stop the person(s) walking nearby. ” Meet mein girlfriend,” he said perhaps a bit loudly. Adam was lucky he just happened to be shouting at talking to a fellow unspeakable so he didn’t look like a total nutter.
