"Alright, caterers are all set, Fink is in a cute dress, I'm in my best suit, and Rakal is getting dress. Everything looks great, table is all set, and was there anything else?" Venomous paced around as Fink watched. She never saw him so worked up before. Venomous looks over at Fink and picks her up.

"You remember what we talked about, right? They can't know that Rakal and I are dating." "I remembers Boss. Don't worry, we got this!" She smiled, giving him a thumbs up. Venomous sighed in relief and sets Fink down, giving her a pat on the head.

"It's almost time, sir." Rakal said as she pops into the room. She had to dress a bit more conservative with a white blouse and a black skirt, but Venomous smiled at her. "You look good, Ms. Rolland." He said, trying his best not to lean in for a kiss.

Fink decides to grab him by the hand and drag him to the front door. They wait for the bell to ring and greet their guests. Fink offers to take their coats and hats as Venomous shows them to the dining room. After Fink puts everything away, Rakal sets her up in a high chair and joins the table. "Oh, so you let 'the help' sit at the dining hall to eat dinner, Venomous?" Billiam asked in a snooty tone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I could-" Rakal starts to get up, but Venomous raised a hand. "It's fine Miss. Rolland. You may sit." He stated and glared at Billiam. "This dinner is about Miss. Rakal Rolland, is it not? She has a chance to make an impression. You better giver her that chance!" He lowly growled on the last part, glaring at all three of them. Rakal sits back down with a nervous smile. Fink laughed at how shocked the others looked.

When the caterers come out with drinks and gave out menus, the tension seems to melt away some, but the three started to bombard Rakal with questions. They asked her about her training, what school she went to, what her life has been like living with Venomous, etc. Rakal tried her best to give out simple and short answers, without giving too much away. Especially Cosma's questions, she seemed only interested about her parents and siblings.

They finally ceased when the food arrived and it was just like any other dinner party with small chat all around. Rakal was so relieved to have a break and enjoyed her food. She noticed a bored Venomous looking at her and gave her a quick wink as the others were distracted. She smiled and looked at Fink, who was trying her best not to eat so fast.

Once dinner was finished, the caterers brought out creme puffs for dessert. Fink grumbled about only getting one. Rakal looks over at the other villains to see they were too distracted with Venomous. She places her creme puff on Fink's plate.

Fink stared at Rakal as she puts a finger to her lips, smiling. Fink giggled and mouthed, "Thank you" before devouring one of them. Venomous noticed the two and smirks, all while pretending to pay attention what Vormulax had to say.

After dinner, Fink went to grab everyone's coats and hats while Venomous and Rakal thanked the three for coming. "You know Venomous, this girl is a keeper. You better get her on our side soon." Billiam joked as he puts on his coat.

"She really is a sweet girl." Vormulax pinched her cheek a bit, making Rakal flinch. "At least stay precious, little one." She advised and the two walk out. Cosma stared at Rakal then side eyed Venomous.

"That choker is actually a collar, right?" She asked and faced him. "No, she's able to take it off if I fire her or she decides to quit for whatever reason." He explained. "It's mostly for making sure she's still alive or where she's at. With our line of work, we have to take extra measures." He continued.

This was honestly a first Rakal heard of this, kinda. He did say it was for their safety. "She must be a terrible nanny if you have to worry about her too." Cosma commented and walked over to Rakal.
