[So his date. She's generally a humble soul, self-critical (not as bad as him) and figures her appearance is nothing to write home about. And yet, when it comes to settings such as these, playing the grand game, she knew what to do. After all, Sen was known for her being part of circles of politics, with being what she is and all.
So she dresses up, her hair adorned with flowers and her dress elegant. She comes just a little bit late, fashionably so, but not so much that you would upstage the finest guests. It's just a little bit, only so that she would be forgotten as soon as she came, as they will have to tend to the guest after that, and the one after that.
But she stalls, for a minute, on top of that staircase. Staring down to see Robin, all dressed up in a suit, looking more than just "he cleaned up well". He was as handsome as he claimed, even if she can tell that he probably felt uncomfortable in such garments. This was not his scene. And yet he looked better than any of them.
Trying to stop herself from looking like an idiot (wait) she makes her way down, hovering her hand over the railing and picking up her skirts until she reaches the bottom of the stairs.]
So... [Is that all you can say.] Ah, I hope you were not waiting long? [God.]
