FORMAL OR INFORMAL, WITH MUSIC OR WITHOUT, YOU COULD BE AT A GLAMOUROUS GALA WHILE A SINGER CROONS SOFTLY OR IN THE SILENCE OF YOUR OWN LIVING ROOM. WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU HAVE THE URGE TO DANCE. DID YOU ASK YOUR PARTNER OR DID THEY ASK YOU? HAVE YOU GOT TWO LEFT FEET OR IS THE VIENNESE WALTZ YOUR JAM? IT COULD BE AWKWARD, IT COULD BE ROMANTIC. EITHER WAY IT'S CUTE AS HELL.

“Felicity. I don’t...I don’t dance.”

One of the golden rules he abstains to; anyone that knew him on a personal level, outside of the media portrayal of Oliver Queen, would think such a statement makes no sense. Athletic, coordinated, traits that normally would qualify him as the perfect partner. A cultured (and spoiled) upbringing meant practice should have been in abundance. Things didn’t work out that way; his feet tend to ignore the beat of the music, instead electing to jump into fight choreography. Circle to the left, turn your hips, generate power. Survival instinct hardwired into his brain. The protest, his reasonings, weren’t going to prove to be enough. They wilted under the vibrance of her smile. Who could have guessed his greatest weakness would come in the form of a blonde MIT graduate?

Light guilt panging in the pit of his stomach; over the effort his girlfriend has put into this. Waves lulling in the background, the night painted silver from an overhanging moon, a jeep they rented specifically for the beach parked just a little in the background, radio turned up to provide music for the requested activity. Oliver dressed simply in a pair of board shorts; it’s been bliss, the trip so far, a kind of happiness that he had stubbornly believed he bade farewell to after returning to Starling. Toes digging into the sand, he presses his lips together, a means to combat the smile that’s threatened to break out across his expression.

Denying her would have been a superhuman feat; he’s capable of such things under specific sets of circumstances, and this isn’t one of them. Most of the afternoon and early evening had been spent swimming; even a (to others) sickeningly cute picnic spread out on the large beach towel they shared. Running fingers through his short hair, a rough texture of sand and saltwater, Oliver finally relents. It’s the only outcome there was ever really going to be. A step towards her, grinning broadly now, no need to restraint it.

“Maybe I can sway. A little.”

[When you crash land from orbit into a strange wilderness and wander into some kind of dark elf celebration, you play along. The alien adventurer studied their dance as he approached. A woman without a partner? Not on Bill's watch.]

[There's a dance! And a slower song just came on, which means people are pairing up. Unfortunately, no one asked Makoto to dance for the last song, and this was looking no different.

But then Trunks approaches. The two haven't really gotten to know each other very well, and it shows in how he approaches. Whereas he might have been more confident approaching someone he knew, he comes off as a tad nervous when he walks up to where she's seated.]


Ah, hey there. Wanna dance?

[He offers his hand, blushing very slightly.]

Emma could hardly be called romantic by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, she was the epitome of anti romance, but honestly something had changed for Emma, since Killian and Henry had managed to get her away from the darkness. She was still not exactly sure how he managed it, but he had.

She managed one good thing when she was away, which is how she referred to it. She managed to get the Jolly Roger back. So she found herself standing in the center of the deck, fairy lights strung around, and a soft melody played in the background. She was just waiting for Killian.
