Robin was mostly at the Destiny Christmas Ball out of spite. When the invitation had come, his parents had started in on how they should absolutely not be attending. Which, meant, of course, that Robin was absolutely attending. Robin had been having a time deciding whether to attend as Robin or his female self. He had taken a while choosing between the suit and a lovely gown he had gotten earlier in the month. Which to go with? Life was hard, sometimes.
In the end Robin had decided to go as a woman. Longer hair, softer features and all the other stuff that came with it. She was almost instantly regretting her choice as she stepped into the ball. Corsets sucked, okay? But the gown was really pretty, at least. Robin eyed the 'pond' dubiously - how did anyone dance in ice skates and not look ridiculous?
