[ He'll call her back, and as soon as she picks up: ]

Why miss Zatanna.

[She gives it a few because she knows how to play a guy. Don't want to seem too desperate!]

Mister Shade.

I think I've been dumped.

What?

Now who would dump you?

I've been dating James Bond since March. Or I had been. I don't know.

Ah, I see.

Then he hardly realizes what he's lost.

I don't think he cares, either way.

Does he not? I hardly know the fellow, and I've never been impressed by the novels. [ A beat. Well, anywho ]

It's his loss, either way. He'll realize what he gave up when he can no longer have it.

I don't read too much fiction. When I do, it's not... that sort.

[Probably. She suspects that's the only reason he wanted her to begin with. She doesn't vocalize this, however.] So.

So, my dear, is this where I invite you out for a night on the town to help you forget about such a waste of manhood?

That's what I was aiming for. If there's one gent in the City who knows how to have a grand old time, it would have to be you.

And I believe my schedule may have just opened up for this evening. Shall we walk the streets of Paris? Or perhaps somewhere a bit less clichéd?

You sound like you have something in mind.

I'm listening.

I'm trying to remember the last time that I was in Berlin. They have quite the atmosphere, last I heard.

It's not too bad. It isn't as if we can't make our own atmosphere, if it's not to our liking. [So as, to say... she's in.]

Why, that sounds possibly divine.

When and where shall I pick you up?

You know, this is the first time that's been offered to me.

I'm afraid my place might mean you'll have to talk to the other residents. I can meet you at yours, if you'd rather?

Well, I suppose that depends on the other residents, doesn't it? Come now, if they live with you, they can't all be bad.

Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Klarion, and a fourteen year old emperor.

Ah.

Well, I could brave such types for your company.

I think it would be best if we just go off on our merry way.

And you know Diana doesn't hold grudges. [The rest speak for themselves, she imagines.] You just want to scope out my place, admit it.

Perhaps, perhaps. I do find myself curious.

Then I invite you to my place.

Although I imagine we'll have a Christmas party.

I'm not a vampire, my dear, but the sentiment is appreciated.

Although I doubt I would be much company at a Christmas soiree.

I'm not sure if you catching that makes me like you more or not.

And I don't celebrate the holiday in a traditional sense. Though Santa Claus is a sweet guy.

I should hope it means you like me more.

And regardless of whether it's traditional or not, I have found my dark demeanor is offputting around the holiday season. [ really, he just likes to pretend he's dour but come on he has like a million first editions of A christmas Carol at home. ]
