Caroline stalks down the stairs towards Stark's basement lab. She's mad enough that anyone paying attention can actually hear her stomping down the steps and over to the door. Normally she's quiet enough to sneak up on people. She just-- she can't. She taps in the code to the lab and-- snarls to herself as it beeps smugly at her and doesn't unlock the door. Calm down Lichfield. She takes a deep breath and re-enters her code. There. She cracks her neck and pulls the door open. Hopefully she's not interrupting anything important.

"Only for the booze donuts?" Stark pouts theatrically. "Really?"

...While still dancing stupidly. He doubts that was the whole reason, but this is Stark. That's not terribly surprising. He might have to order more of those donuts though.

[lichfield]

Caroline grins a little too slyly at the pouting. "Well... mostly the donuts."

That's it. There's a limit to how much bad Tony Stark dancing she can watch without laughing, and she just hit it. She makes a show of looking him over, a very theatric pan down to his feet and back up. "Shouldn't you save your uh, moves here for the party tomorrow?" The party she's pretty sure he doesn't actually want. Oops.

[anthony_e_stark]

"That's more like it." Stark's gonna Stark. "Save my moves? I'm just getting warmed up for the big shindig." ....And will continue to Stark, since he's taken to dancing at her and around her. "I'm still working on writing that dancing clause into your contract, by the way."

[lichfield]

Caroline can only shake her head as Stark starts dancing around her. "Is this your subtle way of asking me to dance?" She adopts a very wide eyed thoughtful expression. "Should I curtsy?"

[anthony_e_stark]

"Does this even count as subtle?" Tony also takes on a thoughtful look. Then he pauses his dumb dance long enough to do a very proper little bow and extend a hand to Caroline. "Well?"

[lichfield]

"Well. Subtle for you." Caroline takes her cue to dip into a curtsy, and then places her hand in Stark's. This ought to be entertaining.

"Watch where you put that other hand," she says as she slides her free hand up to his shoulder. ...That may have been the wrong thing to say. Oh well.

[anthony_e_stark]

"For me," Tony snorts a little. "That's almost an achievement."

Tony swoops her up and... waltzes across the lab. While iTunes switches to the very fitting sounds of Nelly's Low. Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur... Truly the best soundtrack for a waltz. Very classical. "I'll be a gentleman," He assures. "Probably." That's not very convincing.

[lichfield]

Caroline... doesn't actually know how to dance, not really. Fortunately she's both a quick learner and watched enough movies with dancing in them to follow along pretty well. And she's nimble enough not to step on Stark's feet, which she feels is very thoughtful of her.

"Well in that case, I'd better at least pretend to be a lady, huh?" Lichfield no. And that's about when she actually notices the music and starts laughing. She'd been too busy dealing with ballroom.... labroom dancing.
