THE GALA ON ADSUM (Mingle Log)

[serpentis]

Who: Anyone and Everyone!
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: A ballroom on Adsum
When: 2/21, Evening-Night



[And the night has arrived! Dorian put out an open invitation, and anyone who is interested is welcome to dress up and meet up for a night of dancing and fawning over each other. Make sure to wear your best, everyone! It's a very special episode of Drift Fleet!]

((OOC: There was an open invitiation, but even if your character never replied or has had personal contact with Dorian, feel free to assume he's let them come along or be dragged along by someone else! I'll be tagging some threads, but if you want a thread to be closed, please just say so in the header.))

[retconciled]

[It's been a while since she saw him but she stops, peering at him for a moment.]

--Oh no you still look attractive! [This is actually despairing.] But nowhere near Ludger-- Well. Okay he's more cute than whatever the hell word you use for attractive. Was it sexy? Yeah sexy. Well anyway you're not sexy either so don't go thinking I said that.

[Milla then what did you even say.]

[wilder]

[What in the world Milla. Except it actually gets him to snicker a little and smirk]

So..you're saying Ludger's cute, but I'm attractive in a maybe sexy way? My, my Milla! I'm flattered.

[Even if that's not...exactly what she said]

And you're looking pretty good yourself too tonight!

[retconciled]

[She does actually look pretty nice but that's not the point. The point is he needs to not be smooth because it irritates her.]

W-Well of course I do. [Ignore the blush it's not there.] Anyway, I totally didn't say that. Ludger's face is just really boyish. You look more mature now. And I'm not comparing you because we're dating or anything like that! He's just sort of... there to be compared to.

[A+ Girlfriend. At least she knows she's not helping her case and hangs her head.]

Ugh, I hate stuff like this. It makes my nerves jump.

[wilder]

[Nope sorry, gonna be irritating then; he gives her a slight smile]

Don't fret about it. These things are just mostly about dancing and light conversation- though the punch's been spiked if you need something to calm your nerves a little.

[But as for what she said before...]

But really? You and Ludger aren't dating?

[retconciled]

[She makes a mental note for the spiked punch. It might be a nice thing. She hasn't had to deal with this many people talking at once since she was a kid. It was a little different back then.

Back to his question, she folds her arms.]

So get this, we held hands but he didn't finish the courtship ritual! He was just glad to see me. ...Which is still really nice of him but I was hoping it had a double meaning. Like, I don't know, 'you're not dead and will you date me?'. But noooo he's still a pushover and won't say anything...

[wilder]

The courtship ritual...?

[O...kay. Maybe she doesn't realize that makes it sound more like a marriage thing than dating. But he listens to this, trying to follow her logic]

Well..are you sure he just doesn't want to rush things?
