OOO: Dancing Date - Taking Millie For a Spin

[withamagicword]

William smiles as he escorts her to the outer door of the hotel. The huge lobby is well designed and decorated and they dont bar an eye at the man in the suit and woman in a dress coming out of a closet door.

"The Club is right across the street. I figured establishing a door here would be better so that we can come back through withiout having to cross half a city."

They exit the hotel and stands outside, a small wind cuitting dow the street. He smiles as he waves a hand across the street.

"There it is."

A sign saying 'Appelago's' lights up the streets with a tasteful neon sign, if such can be said to be tasteful.

She arcs one eyebrow at the sign.

"Huh. Nice spot. Do you have reservations or bribes for the bouncer or whatever's applicable to this place ready?"

[withamagicword]

"I have been here before. They know me. I try not to cause trouble and I pitch in if they need it. Tends to make them happy when they have a little back up around, even if he is off duty."

He glances both ways, then escorts her across the street to the other side and past a line at the door. When they reach the doorman, the man actually smiles, which looks like it might break his face and waves Willim and Millie through.

Inside is noise, but William leads her on a sharp right and into s amller area, where they can still see the club floor, and yet not be assaulted by the noise.

"Sound baffles on three walls. it is a good palce to catch your breath and rest and also to look before you leap."

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She glances around and grins, rather pleased at the feature.

"This is the sign of a place with some class. Most that I've seen make more of an effort to promote hearing loss."

[withamagicword]

"Well, you know, sound is a good thing, when you want to let loose, but some quiet is good too..."

He grins and gestures for two drinks from a passing waiter.

"Will you enjoy the dancing down there, or do you want to dance up here?"

There are maybe a dozen or two people in the area, dancing, talking. A few are snuggling close and kissing.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She considers the matter and smiles.

"Up here. My eardrums will appreciate it, and we'll still be able to talk."

[withamagicword]

He nods to her and accepts two sparkling ciders from a waiter and hands her one.

"I like to come here and watch sometimes... it always amazes me what people do in places like this."

he grins at her.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She accepts the glass with a smirk and gestures toward one such example.

"I know just what you mean. I could probably blackmail half my hometown with stuff I've picked up at places like this. They always assume that a huge crowd means no one's going to notice. . ."

[withamagicword]

He laughs.

"Yep. In fact... look at that."

Down in the crowd, just at it's edge, two figures were moving together. It wouldnt be apparent from the ground but from slightly above, they could see the man moving just off rhythm with the woman, in tell tale movements.

"Some people will dare anything."

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

Millie snickers.

"Honestly. You'd think they'd at least try for a corner . . . I have to feel sorry for his girlfriend."

[withamagicword]

"Some people will always been reckless. And that one is truly going to make them both think in the morning... considering that angle? yeah."

He shakes his head and turns from the spectacle. Even as he does, music starts again.

"Hmmm, care to do some normal dancing? Well, as normal as these dances get?"

He puts his drink down and extends his hand again to her as he did in the bar.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

And she accepts, as before, setting her own drink to the side.

"I'd love to. Any dance partner who doesn't leave you wincing. . ."

This covers both the other couple and many, many cases of stepped-on toes.

[withamagicword]

"Eh, if it is pain you are after there are much better ways to do it than that. People get weird some days I think."

He leads her into the dance. It is fast and bouncy and to the music, but he starts it slow, just in case it is a new one to her.


It is at this point that the mun wonders at the wisdom of having a character who loves to dance as much as this one does when this mun has no clue what dances are popular. The mun apologizes thusly.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

Millie learns quickly and soon falls into the rythem of the dance, rather enjoying herself.

"I don't see any sense in combining pain with dancing. Really, it defeats the purpose."

This mun offers sympathies and doesn't know any real dances(though she could probably do a passable Time Warp), so it shall be assumed that the pups know what they're doing.

[withamagicword]

He smiles as they dance.

"Exactly. Dancing is about enjoying the movement and the feel of bodies and the rhythm... pain is best kept for other things, and other times."

He grins.

"Everyone has their own thing I suppose."

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

"And some things are more socially acceptable than others. If dancing doesn't qualify, you're not doing it right."

She flashes a grin.

"Or if you are, it doesn't really qualify as dancing anymore."

[withamagicword]

He laughs.

"You are funny and ... very cool."

He grins.

"They are about to zoom forward into the next phase of dancing, fast stuff. You want to try some? Or sit it out?"

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm sure I can keep up."

She smiles and moves closer to him.

[withamagicword]

He grins and puts down his drink again and steps to her as the music bursts into speed.

He winks and starts to dance. His dance is graceful and somewhere outside of style, something sinuous but not really styled after anything real. But he enjoys it and he watches her as well, grinning.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She closes her eyes for a moment to let the beat sink in, then goes with it. Her movements are smooth and natural, following the rythem more than any specific type of dance. She looks at him and grins again.

[withamagicword]

"Nice... very nice."

he returns the smile full force, being in his element here, and loving it. For the moment it isnt about coming on to her or even the date, just about the dance... which may be why, sometime during it, his dancing is no longer on ground, but about two feet up.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She rather enjoys dancing like this herself; the movemets, the natural feel of the rythem. . . it's almost like hunting, in its way. When she notices him rising, she doesn't bat an eyelash. She simply smirks and rises to keep at his level.

[withamagicword]

When he notices that he is floating he turns to cast her an apologetic glance and ses her at his level. His look of surprise melts into one of pleasure. he turns to dance closer, a little to her, mirroring her movements with his.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

Beaming, she shifts closer as well, having perfect control over her movements even in mid-air.

[And I have to get off for an hour. Will return.]

[withamagicword]

He grins at her, watching her and letting the music crowd in again, but not losing sight of her this time. She is beautiful, and she can dance, and she can dance on air. This most definitely increases his interest.

As the dance blends into anotehr and then slowly comes to a stop, he takes her hand and gives her a mid air bow, then kisses that hand. His eyes are positively gleaming now.

[wolf-baby.livejournal.com]

She blushes and gives a proper curtsy to him, still in mid-air.

"Thank you for the dance. There's not many who can keep up on multiple levels."
