Felix

_{[ ooc: continued from here ]}

Clearly I need to come to you the next time we have a major party. I feel positively drab by comparison now.

_{[ Not that he looked poorly in his - they were fitted nicely and have alluring lines, but he definitely lacked in the color department, though that had been by intention. He thought it helped his hair and eyes stand out much better that way. ]}

[lord_wizard]

It's largely a matter of personal taste...[And he's well aware his often skirts the edge of awful without quite going over.]

Yours seems perfectly fine. Simple, but quite flattering.

[universal_charm]

_{[ So far he had not seen Felix in anything less than a flattering outfit, and tonight was no different. ]}

Haha, thank you. I was going for that. When you say it I actually believe I accomplished that.

_{[ He glanced towards the dance floor and back to Felix. ]}

Would you care for a turn around the floor, Felix?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix follows his gaze for a moment, thoughtful]

That depends on the kind of dance you have in mind. [He smirks slightly, letting the potential innuendo hang] I'm only good at dances that have steps to them.

[universal_charm]

_{[ His first reply was a low chuckle, a hint of huskiness to it and blue eyes flashing for just a second. ]}

Well, lucky for you I know a few on the dance floor. Though I wouldn't mind learning a few of the steps you have in mind.

[lord_wizard]

Let's start with what we do know, hm? Do you prefer to lead or follow? I'm comfortable with either role. [Which he absolutely could have laced with innuendo but chooses not to. That's a quite a bit more information that he's ready to share, when little more than flirting is on his mind]

[universal_charm]

Well, I know a bit about leading. To be honest, I only learned a few of these dances, so once I run out of steps you can take over.

_{[ He settled into the start position, arm around Felix's waist - politely high - and the other grasping his hand as he moved them with the rhythm of the music. ]}

To be honest, this isn't the usual type of dancing I do. Mine is usually a little more... friction based.

[lord_wizard]

[He eases into the dancer's stance like water, the motion made natural by years of concerted practice and the stern hand of his Master. It's discipline that keeps his steps light and in time]

I think I've seem some of what you call dancing in the clubs on the stations.

[universal_charm]

Oh? And what is your opinion of such dancing?

[lord_wizard]

I doubt I'd be very good at it. [In the vertical sense]

[universal_charm]

Oh? I think it is much easier than this sort - you just find the beat and let it move you.

[lord_wizard]

This? It's a skill. It simply requires practice to master.

[universal_charm]

Practice which requires a patience I never had for it, I'm afraid. It was practically my least favorite class.
