[He's sure he's decent enough..]

[Aya gives her a soft smile, lifting his glass to her.]


I hope you judge on a curve.

*Selphie smiles brightly and touches her glass to his, looking so excited and so happy, choosing to forget for now what might happen later*

Don't worry, I have my own ways of judging.

*Which she doesn't really, but she winks and pretends. Her champagne is gone a little too quickly, because she keeps glancing at the couples dancing, and is eager to get out there*
formerabyssinian: (Aya: this won't be easy)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-04-29 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aya smiles and takes a sip of the champagne. He doesn't want to be too inebriated this night, so he'll probably leave more than half behind.]

Just let me know when you're ready.
booyaka_boom: (Selphie Wink)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-04-29 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*Selphie, though, in all her excitement, manages to somehow quickly finish off her glass, and she leaves it on the tray of a passing waiter*

Okay, sailor! I'm ready!

*Not enough champagne to make her drunk, but she'll be perhaps a little more exicted*
formerabyssinian: (Aya: this won't be easy)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-01 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Aya had been hoping she would have ready much later in the night, but dancing now than later may be a good idea. He hands his glass to a passing waiter, thanking them before offering a hand to her. If he's going to play the part of a navy officer, he might as well play the part all the way by being chivalrous.]

*Waiting until later might mean not getting the chance to dance, so she had to grab the chance while there was time and he was still willing. Giggling, Selphie takes up his hand and walks with him to the dancefloor, glancing around at the other couples. She'll stand, ready and waiting for Aya to take the lead with holding her for the dance*
formerabyssinian: (Aya: this won't be easy)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He does so, and leads them into a safe, slow dance. He can definitely handle that. Aya is a bit stiff, but not so bad.]

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
*Selphie, for her part, is clearly enjoying herself, dancing close to him and swaying to music. Looking into Aya's face, Selphie is flushed and smiling*

You can relax a little and enjoy it too, you know.
formerabyssinian: (Aya: ...uh)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Aya, who had been looking at his feet, snapped his attention back to Selphie.]

Right, relaxing. [He gives a soft sigh.] I'm just trying to make sure I don't step on your toes.
booyaka_boom: (Curious Headtilt)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
*That was cute, but Selphie tilts her head, looking at him uncertainly*

We can stop... if you don't like it?
formerabyssinian: (Aya: this won't be easy)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say that. I just...don't want to hurt you.

[It would only be her toes, but still. It would made the night very awkward if he did.]
booyaka_boom: (Default)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about me! Just try to have fun!

*She holds herself a little closer, and leans up to kiss his cheek gently in encouragement*
formerabyssinian: (Aya: tsundere)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Smiling, Aya nods and tries to relax more, and enjoy their dance.]

What will you do after the ball? [Trying to make small talk, since it'll be a good distraction, and not talking feels odd.]
booyaka_boom: (Default)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
After all the dancing and stuff there's...stuff we all need to do, I guess. And hopefully it all goes smoothly, so I can just relax somewhere in my dress. It'd be a shame to wear this for such a short amount of time!

*She glances down at her dress, which she had spent a lot of time choosing, then smiles back up at Aya*

You gonna be really busy?
formerabyssinian: (Aya: ante up)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
I may not be. It depends on how the night goes. [With them basically in the clutches of the navy, who knows what will happen. He'll still smile softly to her.] If we both end up not being busy, maybe we could do something afterwards.
booyaka_boom: (Default)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, really? I'd like!

*And judging by her smile, that might be an understatement. Despite what might happen later, she finds it so easy to enjoy herself with Aya*

Did you have something in mind?
formerabyssinian: (Aya: this won't be easy)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-04 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe a walk, or...something, if we can't walk anywhere.

[He didn't think that far ahead, honestly.]
booyaka_boom: (Tee hee!)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-04 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds perfect!

*She seems to be all smiles this evening, and is hoping all the navy stuff will be over really soon so that they can get round to a nice romantic walk*

I'm sure there must be somewhere...
formerabyssinian: (Aya: slight amusement?)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-05 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[It's been a while since he had any sort of romantic life, but he's trying.]

We'll find something. [Aya feels confident enough to give her a twirl.]
booyaka_boom: (Tee hee!)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-05 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
*Selphie laughs at the twirl, beaming when she comes back to him, without bumping into him too much. There's just too much enjoyment for Selphie in all of this*

Careful, Aya, you're getting adventurous!
formerabyssinian: (Aya: slight amusement?)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-05 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
I can stop whenever you'd like. [Aya grins and returns them to their dance.]
booyaka_boom: (Default)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-05 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
No, that's okay! I'm -

*She smiles a little bashfully, feeling silly for saying it but it was true*

I'm happy.
formerabyssinian: (Aya: tsundere)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-05 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Aya ducks his head a bit, hued from Selphie's statement. Obviously he has no issue with her being so.]

I'm glad. [His smile matches hers. Her statement was simple, but it took pressure from his shoulders for not having to worry if she was enjoying his company or not.]
booyaka_boom: (Selphie Wink)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2014-05-05 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
And so you should be, cause it's your fault.

*Who cares if they were at a fancy ball? Selphie sticks her tongue out at him anyway, then laughs as she looks around to see if anyone has noticed. Mostly, though, the other couples are just doing their own thing*
formerabyssinian: (Aya: slight amusement?)

[personal profile] formerabyssinian 2014-05-05 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Aya chuckles softly.]

And how may I make it up to you, miss?
