"It may take a little searching to find it."<br/><br/>Santiago's comment about 'rough stuff' drew an impish smile from Thalia. "I guess there are still some things you don't know about me." She was surprised that he went for her 'slap in the face' idea, and the truth was - she was rather amused at the notion and looking forward to it, but she didn't want to ruin his suit.. and what a waste of excellent champagne! Maybe that was why the idea would work so well.<br/><br/>That flash of villainy. Thalia should've been ready to hit him right away, but it all happened so fast. She was caught unawares as one moment he stepped up to her, and the next she felt him squeeze and spank her in the middle of the goddamn crowd! Her eyes flashed - maybe it was an act or maybe he really had pissed her off, but there was a real sense of annoyance in those eyes. Her hand hit him first, knocking his head to the side with a hard slap across the face. "Mmmm, how does that feel?" she asked, holding her glass up for him to see and tipping it down over the front of his suit.<br/><br/>"Don't tell me you didn't have it coming!" She had the perfect expression - calm and utterly vindictive. There were gasps and several shouts in the crowd, followed by a woman's nervous laughter. A whole lot of heads turned in their direction, including the men Chester suggested they keep an eye on. Thalia handed Santiago the glass, winked at a random man in the crowd, and strode from the room with a manner that suggested she owned it.<br/><br/>No one paid attention to Babs as she slipped away in pursuit of 'the bathroom'.<br/>
