I will be sure to make it up to you.

[Saying that with a kiss for sure. Look, you said no waxing poetic, kisses don't count.]

tags here instead of at the original post. very late. but anyway... b.

[yasei]

[ Obi can't seem to stop tugging at the collar of his suit. He taps the glass in his hand with a finger when he's not tugging at the collar. Or the tie. He's definitely unusually fidgety, but he still raises an eyebrow at her. ]

Sure, but I don't know if I can dance. Are you sure, Miss Chinatsu?

[artificialrose]

Oh, no, not nearly as long as some people, I think. [A soft laugh leaves him, his hand passing over his hair.]

It's only been a few months. Three, now, I think. What about you, ah, Ayumu-san?

[He hopes he's gotten that right. All the different honorifics make him nervous about getting them wrong.]

[frankensteins_moe]

[It's hard to respond to questions like that, but from the way she perks up at the word 'dessert' the answer is probably pretty obvious.

Not that she doesn't dig right into the other appetizers too.]

[nopixiedust]

Yeah, we get to have funds! It'll be a little tough if we have too many people... But I think we can manage for the time being.

Besides, some people might donate to help, right? [Or she'll rob their wallets if she decides they're assholes about not donating, whatever.]

[nopixiedust]

Yeah, that's about right.

[Shun's so stubborn, nothing less but constant perseverance will get through. Wendy is decided on that.]

Still, he seems pretty nice. I'd like to meet him better, when he's not whisking you away to dance.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh... well, perhaps not directly, but it does help to keep the fabric clean while I'm working.

[clothes_make_the_man]

In that case, then, would you care to dance?

[all_seeing_eye]

Well, that makes two of us.

[Futaba closes her eyes and folds her arms, humming to herself.]

I guess one of us has to make the first move if this is gonna go any further. And it kinda sounds like it's gonna be me.

[all_seeing_eye]

Totally into that kind of thing.

[And totally unashamed.]

You should see my Featherman collection!

[artificialrose]

Ah... Kaede. I'm not sure if you know here...?

[It does seem like there are an awful lot of shinki, after all...]

[nopixiedust]

[To help with the bit of subtlety, Wendy stands on the tips of her toes so that it's easier.]

I tried to give her my phone to use, because she doesn't have one, but she just gave me it back the next day. I have Hibiki delivering it to her again tonight if she spots her.

[discerp]

[To which Mikan just.

Starts crying.

It's not a scene-making sort of crying, just quiet and full of sniffles and whimpers as she wipes at her face]

Th-th-thank yooouuuu...!

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Oh, he knows exactly where to look for the person that'd do that. Stupid beanpole... ]

I'm gonna learn how to destroy every hat I see that one wearing.

[redmare]

[For having sounded so determined he sure seemed anxious. Chinatsu wouldn't get on his case just yet though. She does pick up the hand on her hip and brings up to below her shoulder blade.]

You support your partner from here.

[Her tone isn't insulting nor condescending. She had been watching some dance studio rehearsals during her spare time, and frankly. it felt more comfortable with the lead's hand there.]

Well? I'm waiting to be impressed.

[redmare]

You're not going to start making dad jokes, are you?

[Don't go smiling like that when you make corny jokes.]

Re: Forrest

[redmare]

[Chinatsu did a double take.]

Kai---No way! You're Kairi's boyfriend?!

[redmare]

Right now, I'm almost inclined to agree...

[Maybe she was getting drunk if she thought he was being nice. But there it was. It wasn't much, but it was that hint of insult she was expecting from him.]

Maybe you should drink more to loosen up.

[redmare]

[Once the music for the next song begins, Chintasu takes a step forward, taking advantage of Natsuru's height and taking wider and longer strides. She pivots them on one foot, her hold on Natsuru steady as she guides her in reverse. Their movements sway like a pendulum, Chinatsu feeling oddly calm as she allows her body to move on its own. It felt right to follow the music like this. It was like having a blank canvas and the freedom to paint whatever you wanted with it.

As they turn again, she dips Natsuru slightly, making sure to carry her weight as she pulls her back up again.]

No worries!!!

[redmare]

Better than having to watch you squirm all night.

[She cocks an eyebrow at him, an almost sympathetic smile on her face.]

I didn't think I did either, but looks like I kinda do. So who knows? Maybe you've got more than just ninja skills.

[Which honestly, would be rather annoying. The guy doesn't need more skill.]

You brave enough to take a risk?

[sing_for_me]

Mm..it would be.

[Alex was starting to feel rather bashful about how childish she was being, and how accommodating Maria was being about it.]

I hope I can return the favor someday.

[She takes this moment to look at Maria properly.]

Oh wow...you look amazing in that dress, Maria.

[sing_for_me]

Your superior..?

[Did he work for some really rich person maybe? He seemed pretty young though...then again, there were kids his age working for mafia families already.]

[sing_for_me]

Mm...How were you planning on swaying it?

[She asks as she tilts her head backwards to look up at him, rotating the glass in her hand.]

[redotiertwo]

Please don't. [He's a useless arts and humanities guy, Hakkai, not a math one. He mostly just sounds deadpan about the subject, though, as with just about everything else.]

I mean, she's a war god, I guess, they're probably expecting that's the kind of god who would be all over the unending wrath of the heavens sort of deal.

[redotiertwo]

I'm pretty sure just walking out of the room isn't going to get the entire Heavenly fuzz on your ass. Probably.

[No guarantees, because he is not in fact sure of how much the Heavenly fuzz dislikes shinki of Chikusa's sort of demeanour.]
