Atrice Duckstein has posed:
Ducky had done her research to see when Tom's birthday was and it was honestly closer than she thought! That meant that dinner plans and things had been made. She'd taken him dancing at Lux and then to dinner.

Then it was to a little pastry shop to grab him something sweet to take back to her place for dessert. She's looking rather dolled up in a green velvet wrap dress with her makeup and hair down, but a little disheveled given the activities so far, "What are you in the mood for?" she asks him as she reaches out to take hold of his hand while they wait in the line.

Tom McCarthy has posed:
He's done his due dilligence and dressed nicely - not his normal work suits, but a nice well-tailored suit for style. Tom was happily surprised at her plans, chuckling at the industrious nature of her investigations and fact-finding missions.

"I think... something with icing?" Tom decides, holding her hand as they wait their turn. "I mean, I love chocolate cake and chocolate icing..." His stomach rumbles happily at the thought. Even Digi seems pleased with that choice. "I need to start taking notes on your birthday, and your favorite treats." He grins, leaning in to kiss her bared shoulder.

Atrice Duckstein has posed:
"You look really nice this evening." the redhead tells him. "We'll just make sure to get you out of that suit before you eat anything with icing." she whispers to him with a wink. "Don't want to stain it." she adds.

"My birthday is February 6th and my favorite treats a fairly simple. Apple pie with vanilla ice cream is near the top. Donuts. Pastry in general." she tells him.

Tom McCarthy has posed:
"And you look stunning, Duckie." The man assures her, leaning against her briefly. A nod as she mentions getting into more comfortable attire for eating icing. "No stains, no." Tom laughs, happy for the contact with her in line.

A snerk as she lays out her preferences and her birthdate. "How can I be a super spy, if you give me all the details without me snooping about?" He waggles his brows. "Pastries in general, sounds like a plan."

Atrice Duckstein has posed:
Ducky gives a look to him and there is a beaming smile, a little turn given to him, "Do you like it? I asked the girl at the shop if it would be good for a birthday date with my boyfriend and she said yes." she tells him. "And she said black wasn't going to be good." she muses to that. There is a soft laugh, "Oh, you just said take notes, not go digging in the personnel files." she teases him. "Did you have a particular movie you wanted to watch tonight?" she asks.

Tom McCarthy has posed:
He gives her a good look up and down. "It is... perfect." Tom's eyes go back to hers. "The green is a great color on you, you know." He winks, moving to wrap his arm around her waist. "The cut and design is fantastic, too. I hope you gave her a good commission on that dress."

"I don't intend to dig in on personnel stuff, honest. As for movie - I am thinking something funny? Like a classic comedy?" He suggests.
