[So now they're sharing empty platitudes? What's she getting at?]

Are you saying you have something to offer? If not, you should find someone else to talk to.

[She sighed slightly. He's really not one for small talk, at least this is what she assumed.]

Are you going to ask someone to dance? I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who would be willing.

[She assumed so at least, after all this is a ball.]

[breakfastmetaphors]

I don't plan on it.

[He also doesn't know how.]

It would draw too much attention to me and it would limit the amount of information I can gather.

[The perfect reason not to.]

I find that one doesn't get information just by standing around and talking. In a ball situation it's best to blend in, do things others do and gather information that way.

[She had gone to pick up a simple drink, thankfully non alcoholic, which was rare and took a sip.]

I find there are also certain types who are much easier to do such a thing than others. Just keep your eyes open. [She knows who in her mind would be the best option. One who won't recall it the next day.]

[Was she really lecturing him on intelligence gathering? It was too bad that explaining how absurd that was would draw undue attention to him.]

I know what I'm doing.

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[She looked at him once more.]

Very well. I can believe it when you say that. [But she certainly wanted to watch to see how he did it, but she doubts she would be able to.]
