[Without hesitation, Ace looked back and smiled.

It was clear he didn't give a shit about subterfuge, himself.]

Ace.

[hoodwinking]

[Ace! Right, as in Portgas D. Ace. As in, "the highest bounty in the entire sea". Actually...]

You know what? Screw it! I think I can set aside a dance.

[hiken]

Hah! Is my name openin' that many windows, miss?

[He set his hands on his hips, snickering like the bandit he was.]

[hoodwinking]

Given how big these seas seem, who knows when I'll get this opportunity again~!

[Even though the Spades had fought off the Navy with the Roses, there was a certain doubt in her mind that meeting with the Captain wouldn't be easy.

Not that she knew much about him.]

You'll show me how, right?

[hiken]

We'll definitely see. [Ace took the moment to bow to Bonnie, holding out his hand. Since she wasn't as experienced in ballroom etiquette.]

Normally, I'm not supposed to talk, but--you're supposed to take someone's hand if you accept the offer to dance.

[hoodwinking]

Of course, of course.

[which, she does. The ballroom was a little foreign to her, but she was adaptable. It all came part of the job.]

[hiken]

[Ace stood up and walked with Bonnie to the actual hall. The conversations were brimming and he had to raise his voice a measure, but he was fairly good at talking with a raise in his voice that didn't catch everyone's attention unless he wanted it to.]

So, do you want to start out easy? I can point out a few officers for you.

[hoodwinking]

Now now, don't make it too easy on me. I like a challenge.

[Her ears were open, and there was a steady determination on her face. Knowing that there were bound to be some rumors of treasures or intel on the Admirals within that could give them a clue to actually standing against one in the future.

She was still sore about having to run away, and hoped for any info at all to take one of those bastards down.]
