[cozen]

WHO: Alexandrie, Bastien, Byerly, and their captive audience
WHAT: Mandatory etiquette and dance lessons
WHEN: Justinian 15, 9:45
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: See the OOC post and IC announcement for more information! If you didn't sign up, you can still participate in Parts A and D, and just handwave the other two, without needing to sign up or get an assignment. If you want to do B and C, you can find your own dance partner/seating group OOC, or you can sign up now and we'll dole out new assignments if we get enough latecomers to do so. If you signed up and are missing from the lists when you shouldn't be, I'm sorry and please tell me!

The touch to her cheek makes her heart feel warm as if it's spreading through her entire body. It's the same feeling as drinking a health potion, or a one that gives you fire breath - it's too much. Her eyes flick over his face, scanning it as if afraid she might find some kind of lie or deception, and she breathes out before she leans forward.

"I am glad. I'd enjoy showing you my true strength one day." And her hand reaches, fingers linking with his, sliding between them easily. "What... What do you want from me?"

If he answers that, he's going to get stabbed. Or probably slapped, as Six isn't Tevene. Either way, Thor might blindly walk into some traps but this one he recognizes well.

"I would like to see where this goes," he says instead of the full truth. Her hand gets a squeeze before he's looping his other arm around her waist and pulling her a little closer. "What of you? What would you have of me?"

Six does not follow his train of thought; she doesn’t anticipate anything more than their hands touching or gentle kissing. What she was picturing was something softer, or Thor simply admitting that he wanted to spend more time with her.

“See where this goes?” Her eyes flicker for a moment, glancing up and watching him. She’s a little nervous, cheeks red. She didn’t expect him to be so... Bold. “I would have you be yourself. If that means I would have more of your time... Then I would be thankful.”
