Who: Tim Drake and Rachel Grayson
When: After Jim proposes.
What: What do you mean, you knew. :C

It wasn't that she was annoyed that apparently everyone but McCoy and her had known Jim was going to propose. The surprise had been pretty amazing, and she still kind of couldn't believe it had happened, but it had and now she needed to go tell people herself.

But not before drawing it out a little first, and particularly with Tim, because seriously, bro? She knew Alfred wouldn't have said anything and she was still kind of blown away that Jim had actually asked Bruce and he'd said he'd said yes, but Tim was supposed to be on her side, dammit, not secretly in cahoots with her boyfriend.

So, she'd timed it perfectly. Knowing Tim was usually up and around by now, even on a Saturday, she'd casually let herself into the manor, making just enough noise to announce that she was home without being too unsubtle about it, and went to get nice and set up on the couch, turning on the TV and hiding both her hands in her sweatshirt pockets, keeping her expression as neutral and natural as possible, waiting for Tim to wander down to see why she'd apparently invited herself over to catch reruns of Law and Order.

Threaded | Flat

Rachel did not need to come to the manor to watch TV. Sure, maybe for a special occasion, some premier, whatever - Tim certainly liked the huge screen. But for Law and Order? No way. So he waited upstairs. And waited. About as long as he could, so after the episode's first DUN DUN, he padded down the main stair and made himself stop in the kitchen for a zesti. He even popped the top and took a sip before heading straight into the living room.

There, he didn't look impatient, right?

"What are you doing here?" He blurted out, which was not the hey how are you he'd intended to open with.
