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.))

Just practice, mostly. I mean, I was taught to dance, but not formal lessons. But... because of my family - both of them, really - I went to a lot of charity events, banquets and balls... and you either learn to dance, or look decorative standing next to the punchbowl. Decorative isn't my thing.

[He smiles back, both out of instinct and memory. This is a good night. A good conversation... a good partner, whether she can dance or not.]

The only time I've looked decorative was the last ball I went to. I was definitely not a fan.

[ Steffa's glad for the good night. It's nice to get her mind off the more serious things that always seem to hover at the back of her head.

She does pause to look a little thoughtful, though. ]

...You know, if I hadn't been born a mage, I would be quite practiced at this type of event. My family, the Amells, were apparently a noble family in the Free Marches, just outside of Ferelden.

I hadn't really thought about that until now. That's odd to think about.

'How things didn't happen' is always kind of a strange game.

[howcanihelp]

Indeed it is.

Do you play often?

[ f... lirty? Maybe? ]

[detectivewonder]

Second-guessing myself is one of those bad habits I can't quite kick, but I never start it early enough to do me any good. What about you?

[His tone shifts to vaguely flirtatious, on social-mirror instinct, but it never percolates to the level of conscious thought, which might be obvious by the actual content of what he says.]
