A masked ball wasn't exactly Sharon's thing. She found a dress and a mask and came, though, because Kara was.

"My roof is made a' palm fronds and most people live in huts," he answers, walking over to her, "I've got no reason to wear a suit. If I had a suit to wear." He only bothers to put a shirt on over the wife-beater if he's got IPD duty, some days. Tonight, he doesn't. He's not even wearing his boot, now that the cold spell has ended. "You're lucky you caught me after a wash."

He tilts his head and takes in the mask, then the dress. "Look nice tonight," he says, looking around. "Guess this is where the party is, then?"

"Unfortunately it's water and juice for me," Sharon said, but she didn't really mind. She hadn't been much of a drinker, only after Helo disappeared had she done it with a little more frequency.

She took his arm and headed for the entrance. "Would you like to borrow my mask?"
