As the conversation grew stale, and Theo could see Penelope gaining the confidence to finally blurt out what she's wanted to say all along. Biting down on his bottom lip, Theo stops the joint from side burning with his clipper and prays that he's rescued soon. As if on cue, it is then he's attack-hugged by Tabitha, dressed up appropriately in cat ears and matching tail. His concerned expression being replaced by one of joy. Thank fuck for Tabby - Theo thinks before flinging an arm over the girl and laughing. How Tabitha was drunk already Theo had no idea, but he wasted no time in grabbing the bottle from her hand and taking a swig, bemusedly listening to her go on about Chris. "The dude sure does know how to give a speech," Theo admits before raising an eyebrow at her, "Just the girls? Are you kidding, by the end of that I even wanted him to have my babies." He jokes.
"This guy isn't bothering you, right? Are you, babe?" Suppressing a laugh Theo shakes his head, "Course not kitten, we're just old friends." Fiddling with Tabitha's cat tail, Theo looks at Penelope with a raised eyebrow after Tabitha kisses his cheek. "Oh I, um," Penelope blurts out, clearly flustered, "I have to go-" And with that the girl disappears into the sea of pulsing bodies, taking with her the awkward atmosphere that had developed around her and Theo.
Turning to lean against the cool, painted wall Theo grins at Tabitha, flicking one of her cat ears, "I owe you one Tabby," He says, incredibly grateful for her presence, "Oh, and now she's gone - what about that alone time?" Theo teases cheekily with a wink, getting back into his usual flow of flirting with practically anything with a pulse. Knowing full well he was about to get the shutdown of a life time, Theo takes yet another big gulp from the bottle and offers Tabitha his joint. Puff, puff, pass was Theo's typical philosophy but as she'd helped him out, Theo didn't mind if she finished the joint. Besides, he had plenty more where that came from. Although Theo would never get high off his own supply, he made sure that he brought some for himself too.
Looking again over Tabitha, Theo takes in her fancy dress outfit and smiles, it suited her perfectly "Your costume's pretty good, but can it beat this?" Theo moves part of his leather jacket to reveal the plain black t-shirt underneath with 'Generic Halloween Costume' printed onto it in block capitals, "I thought, you know, as the creative one I'd go all out this year." He says with a chuckle, "It was either this or a police costume and I'm not too sure how that would've gone down here." Theo adds, laughing a little more.
Just then, Theo's phone bleeps and he reaches into his back pocket to retrieve it. Smiling as he reads the text then clicks on the attachment, Theo quickly response to Aurora.
Can't wait, you know I'm your biggest fan ;-) I'm w/ Tabby we'll come over now.

Hollering to the nearest person and getting them to take a picture of him with Tabitha, Theo quickly shoots it off to Aurora before jumping slightly as he's grabbed from behind. Turning around to see none other than Mr Muscle himself, Bradley, standing there; Theo rolls his eyes, "Knew you couldn't keep your hands off me, babycakes," He says with a wink, just as he hears Aurora's band start to play. "C'mon guys let's go dance!" Theo beams, grabbing bother of them by the hand.
