"I--I'm so sorry." The festival is a fascinating place, and it's easy to look everywhere except at James. "I should have said something sooner, I know, but--Um. I just." She'd never taken the time to really look at the cobblestone road before. How fascinating. "I just wanted to be...someone other than the Scoutmaster, tonight. I don't want to have to be responsible and proper and set a good example."
She sighs, fidgeting with her hands. "I'm sure that sounds stupid. I took this job, knowing what it entailed. And I love it, I do. I wouldn't trade it for anything. But...it's a 24-hour job. I'm never not the Scoutmaster." It sure sounds stupid to her. What would Petrana and Thranduil say if they could hear her? She'd be mortified.
Slowly, her gaze manages to lift up to almost Jame's face. Quite nearly there. "I--I would still love to dance, if you still think I'm worth the time."
