There were times Lucifer really missed his Mazikeen. Times like this, when he'd gotten himself invited to a fashion show in Baltimore (how good could it be if it was in Baltimore? he'd asked at first) along with a 'plus 1'. Showing up solo might get him laid, but there also laid the unlikely but possible risk of seeming crass or looking like he needed a pity-screw.
Which left him with a conundrum called 'the only person I know with class also has irrational feelings about people who don't wear gloves'.
At least until he saw a preview image of the designer's work. After that, he had a vague sense at least one of his friends might actually appreciate it, taste or no taste.
Anyway, that was why he was wandering up to the Rouge this afternoon, clad in a tuxedo with a bowtie.

She herself was clad in pricey leggings and a ratty t-shirt, because that was what was comfortable for just bumming around the boat.

"Good enough?" she asked, with a tone that suggested there was only one correct answer.
