Arron chuckled. "That's really nice of you. How about I dance with River first before he dances with you?" he suggested. Arron knew he was going to be tired by the end of the night. He had not had his stamina back for a long time.

With the ending of the song drawing near, his dance partner nodded her head. "That's fine with me."

"Why, family heirloom, of course." Minty smiled as she tucked the sextant back into whatever impossible place it had come from, "I don't have much from home, by choice mind you. No point in hauling around great great grandmother's china if I'm probably just going to break it all. But this sextant is a useful to me as it is full of familial significance."

Having not noticed Cid before she started talking, the mermaid squeaked, startled at suddenly being addressed. Studying the knight nervously, she fidgeted a bit. Was the woman scary? She wasn't being mean, so maybe she was nice? Even if she was mean, though, there were lots of friends here that the mermaid knew would protect her, so she felt a little more at ease.
"Uh huh!" She responded with a bright smile. "I l-like all k-kinds, b-but strawberries are my f-favorite!" Bouncing a bit on her toes, she tilted her head at the knight. "Which ones do you like best?"

The young woman was smiling over at her from underneath her bangs, her short and slim stature giving a youthful appearance if the demeanor gave the impression of someone older, or at least older than a teenager. Cid giggled after a second of surprise at the squeak that came from the mermaid, and noted the shuffling of the fidgeting girl. Maybe they were a bit alike in that manner as well, she thought, bearing in mind her own messed with corsage. The stammer she had though told of a nervous nature...so it was best to be friendly to not scare the poor thing. "Umm...which ones are the strawberries? I can't tell if I've had them or not, there are so many new fruits here! The kinds of fruit I like are the ones with a peel around it and a very pulpy inside!" the knight replied with a beaming, if questioning smile. Had she already tried a strawberry and didn't realize it? There were so many fruits she had never had before she'd been so hasty to sample, she didn't even ask what was what!

OOC: Okay the votes for 'best dressed' are in...and the winner is...Phantom! I'll get you your prize in just a second here! ^^
Stay tuned for when I announce what the next mini-contest will be! Sensing Mo's apprehension, Laney took it upon herself to walk her through the ordeal. "You can just follow my lead~ I don't dance often but I've seen it a million times!" She almost sounded like an expert until that 'What could possibly go wrong?' tone came out. She glided over to Mo and in one quick motion put a palm on the woman's waist and took her hand. "Ms. Laney," Lewis cut in,"If you're still up for another dance afterward at some point, I'd love to accompany you." She blinked an exaggerated blink in his direction, almost as if she were batting her lashes. "But of course, mon chevalier in shining tuxedo~ I'm just getting warmed up!" Wait, was that a compliment, or a threat...? It was hard telling with such an eccentric lady. She pointed to the band and spun her finger around in a circle as if cuing them to pick up the beat a little. The music started a new, a little peppier than before. She gave them an approving nod and set her sights on Mo. "Ready?" She made her footwork simple and playful, sweeping across the floor in fun improvising steps."Nate." she repeated as if she didn't know, or care. "Gee, you'd think they'd give out name tags in a place like this..." She stopped herself, realizing she'd almost given something away. Last time they met, when she was in her super girl form, she had to return his missing name plate to him... She hoped she didn't just jog his memory. She cleared her throat loudly trying to get away from the subject. "Do people get their faces punched in a lot?" he asked. "Sometimes. Most know better by now." He explained his work to her, and Danny decided to leave his knives be. Though now she didn't know what to do with her hands... She fidgeted with her knuckles, which also seemed menacing in a way. "Guess you probably drive." he concluded by her response, or lack thereof. "I board." she corrected. "Skateboard. I used to take the bus. Years ago." He started to tell the story of how he arrived at the event that night, all the while a kooky lavender-haired dancer and her scarf-clad companion swooped all over the dance floor. She didn't even have to look head-on to know who it must be causing the scene. Danny shrunk a little, trying to go unnoticed as the two soared closer and closer. When finally he was done speaking, all she could do was mutter, "I don't know her, I swear..." while trying to shield her face with her hand. Finally the pair arrived right next to them, their eyes meeting as Laney lead Mo in a dip."Hey Danny! Who's your friend?" she chirped merrily. Her face started to glow bright red. "Sh-shut up!!" she hollered, but the next second the two were off again. Danny huffed and clenched a fist as she watched them sail away. "That's what finishing school will get ya, I guess." she mumbled, "Even if she did flunk..." Gigi reassured Jessie that they were just going to have fun, and it put the novice dancer at ease. She took Jessie's hand and placed it on her shoulder. Jessie tried to memorize the stance for future reference. Gigi held her free hand and took a hold of her waist as the lead. Jessie nodded. So far so good. The two stepped back and forth in a simple swaying motion. "I-is this okay?" she asked. Jessie smiled, feeling a little relieved. "Just fine!" she reported honestly. It was funny how she could exhibit elegance and grace whenever the day needed saving, but place her in a formal venue with proper and improper etiquette and things became suddenly overwhelming. But being with Gigi she found herself quite relaxed all of the sudden. "So tell me about yourself." she said, once she got the hang of their current step pattern.
Solsi watched her friends dancing, casually sipping on her drink but not really getting anywhere with it. She wasn't that thirsty, truth be told, she just didn't want to be a third wheel. She was happy they finally got to meet though, and things seemed to be going well. At a distance, anyway. Trying not to pry, she let her eyes wander across the rest of the crowd. There were faces she recognized, and some brand new. Everyone seemed to be in the middle of a conversation though, and she hated to interrupt.

RandomKate "Exactly. However," she said, shrugging her shoulder, "what can you do with the stupidity of the world? Even children were accused." (Sorry for not responding sooner.)
Gwen frowns, at a loss of what to say in response. "I'm sorry..."

"No need to be. It happened a long time ago." She had accepted the whole thing a long time ago as well. It didn't really bother her.

"Ms. Phantom, I do hope one of your questions is eventually going to be asking me to dance." Minty teased, "But yes. I'm travelling by earring this evening. One trip per charge, one charge every five hours or so." (I'm so glad someone isn't bothered by where Minty put that sextent, because I have no idea. XD And of course you won the thing. Look how cute you are.)

"Good," the elf gave a small nod. She then began working in a small turn so if either wanted they could look around. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on things around you after all. The question may have caught her a bit off guard. She didn't recall this being something she was really asked, so what to say? Her mind ran through a few things. I'm an elf, my skin is blue, my hair is the color of cotton candy, it sparkles of it's own accord, it was birthed by Shinji's hair, no these were obvious. Save for that last one . . . No, Jessie probably meant something less obvious. Nibbling at her lower lip, she finally answered. "Well um I'm a lover of the color orange and ribbons, b-but I suppose that's obvious. Um, was there something more particular you wished to know of me?" Even after a mental pep talk she still gave an obvious answer. Apparently it had been too long since she last met a new person and proper new acquaintance small talk seemed to have eluded her. She ducked her head a bit trying to hide another of her blushes and mumbled, "I like dancing, but that's p-probably a given too."

 "If anyone is due for some karma it's me, the universe just hasn't produced anyone powerful enough to give me my just desserts~" El glanced at her sideways. Her expression was as demure as ever, not letting onto the discomfort the billowing smoke caused. "It sounds as though you welcome the challenge." she observed aloud. Her eyes stayed on the woman a moment, then focused back on the room of happy dancing couples. "Or, perhaps I'm imagining things." OOC: Sorry for the wait!

The mermaid tilted her head curiously. The girl didn't know what a strawberry was? Not that she could judge - after all, the mermaid hadn't known what they were at first, either. Even after all this time on Gaia, there were still many things she didn't know and was learning about.
"S-strawberries are the red ones, with the seeds!" She smiled brightly. "L-like this!" She held up a strawberry from her own plate for emphasis.
As to the knight's description, well, the mermaid wasn't really sure. She was still learning herself, after all. "I-I'm not s-sure which ones h-have a p-peel and are p-pulpy. Wh-what do they l-look like?"((Riveerrrrr! DX You are not being helpful! Poor Cid. xD River doesn't realize she's blind...))
