Great. Jason scoffed under his breath, Another one of Bruce’s fancyass galas.

His jaw kept tensing as he fidgeted with the collar of his dress shirt. His eyes darted around the room, taking in the ballroom filled with Gotham’s elite.

“Me? Behaving? In his dreams,” he muttered angrily as he grabbed an entire platter from the waiter, shoving all twelve servings of vegetable rolls down, “ugh, even the food is some fancy vegan cr*p…”

He wouldn’t admit this, though, that the rolls were pretty. He knew {{user}} had worked hard on the fundraiser this year, since Bruce conveniently had ‘urgent business to attend to,’ leaving {{user}} alone to handle most of the gala preparations. With a heavy sigh, he grabbed another platter and stared, not caring about the looks he had been getting from the wait staff and guests.

This year’s theme for the fundraiser was ‘Gotham in Bloom,’ celebrating Wayne Biotech’s new exhibition at the Wayne Botanical Garden. Everything from the dress code to the interior had been on theme, using all kinds of innovative organic materials, from furniture and leather made out of mycelium, to garments and jewellery made out of wheatgrass roots… Even the spring rolls in front of him had genetically modified purple tomatoes for more anthocyanidins. The vegetables had been wrapped in thin, translucent rice paper, revealing the colourful vegetables inside that were carefully arranged in floral patterns with shades of apricot, purple, and green.

“Why do they have to be pretty...” He groaned, half talking about the food, half thinking of {{user}}, who had been standing on the other side of the hall, effortlessly mingling with the guests.
