Had the death grip not increased its hold, she would have made a B-line for one, any, groups of the older students. Anything to have two things one. The babbling self-centered girl, and the death grip on her shoulder which was beginning to get that bean-bag numb feeling. However the girl's words made her think. Look like bait what was that about, or supposed to mean anyway?
"What do you mean 'bait'? I'm confused..." She stated plainly, trying to draw the girl's attention off her friend, attention which clearly wasn't wanted. Not that there was much a chance it would work, but the more reassuring the situation got, the better the chance of her regaining feeling in her shoulder.

Dan smiled cautiously as he noticed Keag's faint blush and the fact that he had caused it. But it wasn't a bad thing, though. When he felt Keag slide a few steps Dan stopped for a second and said, " Sorry. " He hadn't realised that she hadn't been ready. She looked ok and her giggle told him it was fine to go on ahead so he did until they were standing and facing each other. A new song started as Dan let his hands fall around her waist.

As the next song started and Dan's hands fell to her waist, Keagan's arms reached up toward his shoulders, linking together in a close embrace about his neck. "This seems familiar..." Keagan stated, a happy smile on her lips. It truly did seem reminiscent of their last dance in the common room. There were only three real differences that Keag could account for. Attire, of course. The fact that she was, currently, the same height as him instead of an inch shorter, and finally, the increased comfortability she had with the small distance between them.

Just as Keag's hands went to Dan's shoulders he was also reminded of their common room encounter. Grinning lopsidedly at the thought he quesitly replied, " Oddly enough, it does, doesn't it? " And placed a short kiss on Keag. As they dance Dan thought about the first meeting, sort of, the two of them had. Totally coincidental because of the weather. He could have passed up the whole oppertunity and stayed out. Thank gosh for UK's weather.

Dan didn't even notice she was speaking french until he blurted out in french, "Englais se tres stupide!" Then he wondered if he should translate it or not, on account of, he had to ask for a bit of a translation himself. He said in English, "English is really stupid... In my opinion of course." He shrugged slightly, and crossed his arms back over his chest, the way before he had been asked to a dance.

Kellen's face fell a little. "Oh, I'm sorry," he said quietly. He wasn't really sure what else to say--he wanted to say something comforting but thought it might come out wrong. "Were you close?" he finally asked. "Yeah..." Allegra answered slowly, still with the small smile on her face. "He used to come over and visit, just for the heck of it. He'd come to see our games and school performances or take us places he thought were neat." he was always laughing. Even when my Nana would scold him, he'd get this serious face for her, but when she'd turn away, he'd smile and wink at us. He was fun. I'm going to miss him."

"On s'habitue à l'anglais. Je parle deux autres langues, ainsi je semble apprécier des langues pour leur complexité," Beni replied with a smile. She translated for him, seeing as he had a hard time with separating his languages.
"One gets used to English. I speak two other languages, so I seem to appreciate los idiomas and their complexity." She laughed a bit, realizing she mixed up her languages as well. "You must be contagious, because I'm jumbling myself up."
(Sorry if the grammar happens to be bad. I needed help on this one.)

"Food it is, then, m'dear," Arianna tipped her head slightly, nearly losing her hat, but catching it just as it fell off her head. Instead of putting it back on, she held it in her hand and walked with Krissy to the tables. "Hmmm, I can't decide..." Krissy laughed as Ari almost lost her hat. She looked at the table covered in food. "Ohhh chocolates!" she cried excitedly. Nothing could beat chocolates. She picked up two and offered one to Ari. "For you." she said with a grin.

"Why, thank you daaahling," Arianna smiled and took one of the offered chocolates. She glanced at it once and then popped it in her mouth, not even thinking that it might possibly be tainted with any sort of love potion. She'd already done that one the previous year and thought to do so this time around. "Mm, it's good. You should try one."

"It's good that they held it off for yous," Kellen said softly. "You'll have a chance to say goodbye that way. And I'm sure it would have meant a lot to him too, you know?"

Krissy popped her's into her mouth too. "Mmmm.... Your right" she said. Krissy never thought anything bad of chocolate so the thought of it being tainted by a love potion completely slipped her mind. It was chocolate, she could never say no to that. The chocolate tasted really good so Krissy reached for another two without a second thought offering one to Ari once more.

"Yeah, I think so too," Allegra answered with a sigh. "I'm mostly worried about my mom though. She's not taking it very well. She has my dad and her sister, but I'm still worried about her."

"Thank you," Arianna grinned and gobbled up the next chocolate then reached for a glass of punch to wash it down with, offering one to Krissy first and then taking one for herself.
"Are we ready to dance yet, m'lady?" she asked, before laughing at herself. Arianna was having a hard time keeping up the silly British accent without laughing at herself.

Just as Keag's hands went to Dan's shoulders he was also reminded of their common room encounter. Grinning lopsidedly at the thought he quesitly replied, " Oddly enough, it does, doesn't it? " And placed a short kiss on Keag. As they dance Dan thought about the first meeting, sort of, the two of them had. Totally coincidental because of the weather. He could have passed up the whole oppertunity and stayed out. Thank gosh for UK's weather. Keag had only just stopped nodding in reply with an amused smirk on her features, caused by the disproportion of Dan's grin, when he kissed her. It was a short kiss, but a kiss all the same. Following it, Keagan was content to dance in silence for a while and, pulling herself a bit closer to Dan, placed her chin on his shoulder, peering around at the others in the room. She saw Brittany with her long time boyfriend Sora; head girl, Allegra and former head boy, Kellen; and, of course, Drew and Alhana; all out on, or nearing, the dance floor. She didn't see many other faces she recognized, but she smiled to herself when she saw the cluster of first years. It was nice to see that they were bold enough to attend an event obviously more enjoyable for the older students. "We don't often see so much of the student body in one place like this, do we?" she whispered in Dan's ear, so near her mouth in her current position, as she continued to match his leading step in the dance.

Sora simply just grinned at her, thumbing her hand with his thumb, "Nah, I wouldn't miss the ball...You really wanted to go and I wouldn't miss it for anything..." he said, smirking a bit now, "Of course...There's nothing wrong with being fashionably late..." He couldn't wipe the grin of his face for some reason. It seemed to be planted there with a Permanent Sticking Charm. It just wouldn't fade away. He move back slightly and gave a deep dramatic bow, "May I have the honour of dancing with thee?" he asked, continuing to grin at her. Brittany had been a bit distracted by what Sora had said the first time he had spoken. She liked the fact that he came partially for her and that he had wanted to go. That meant that she wasn't forcing him to come here. With a small smile she noticed how the boy's smile had not stopped since he arrived. Then, as the boy gave a dramatic bow she couldn't help but giggle a bit. Returning the bow with a small curtsy she held the sides of her dress out low somewhat resembling a first grader. "I would love to..." Brittany answered simply. Allowing Sora to lead her anywhere that he wanted to go by placing her hand in his once more. As they walked out to the floor she spotted Keagan and Dan. Catching the girl's eye she mouthed a, 'You look fabulous' and winked at her.
