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.

Jill notices the slow-down, as well -- and time hasn't been the easiest thing to track since arriving, but she's sure they've been at it a while. Not that she wouldn't mind more time with him, but she's had him long enough and she doesn't want to get him into any trouble by doing so any longer, if his parents are around. Not to mention she would like to look for some friends before the night's over, so...
Her movements match the music, slowing at the same pace -- but still patient, clearly in no rush to get it over with.]
Irresistible or not, I'd hate to keep you to myself all night. But it's been fun. [And... a winning smile to go with that last part, hopefully proving that she Means It.]
no subject
I wouldn't particularly hate being kept all night, or even longer! But too much of a good thing too fast can be a little overwhelming, and there's no rush! If you think that we should take things slow I'll easily agree! After the chance first encounter, next should be a casual meeting over tea! I'll be my treat, so just let me know what day and time works for you and it'll be a date!
no subject
She appears to think it over, filling the silence with more slowing moves.]
How about... surprising me?
[...Things are unpredictable enough these days, anyway; what's one more bit of surprise? Not to mention it's... hard to really make plans sometimes.]
no subject
and then give her the Too Coll Finger-gun, awwwyis X'D]Ah, I see! So you want to rely on Fate a second time to be certain that we're truly meant to be together? All right then! That will definitely make our next meeting a surprisingly surprising surprise! But~ when I crash your date or barge in on a possibly-romantic moment, don't say I didn't warn you!
no subject
[She points back pseudo-accusingly]
I said surprise me, but use some discretion, all right?
no subject
[He gets a little more strident with each additional title, showing how very much he is not any of those things. At the moment, at least, anyway.
He's going to make a grab for that hand she's pointing at him with, attempting to capture it with both of his and clasp it
overdramatically.]If this is truly what you want, I'll agree to this as well! After all, we're both spoken for officially, and I wouldn't want to ruin your good name for anything in the world, Jill-oneechan!
no subject
I did mean the other kind of discretion. I don't want to make a liar or a cheat out of you, now.
no subject
[He lets go of her hand, waving away her words before casually stuffing his hands in his pockets.]
I wouldn't worry about making me into any of that! This is about ~TRUE LOVE~ and when it comes to that sort of thing, we are what we are and we feel what we feel, and nothing else really matters!
[That's about 60% Bullshit and he knows it, buuuuut whatever, he's just talking to talk at this point.]
no subject
although if you're saying things like "ninja," Jill, that probably shows that you've spent too much time around kids lately |DShe does give a hmph of a laugh, though, as she crosses her arms.]
Okay. We'll see how well that works out.
no subject
But being a ~SECRET LOVE NINJA~ is utterly romantic in all the right ways, and probably some of the wrong ones too!
How could it ever work out any way other than beautifully?? It is our ~TRUE LOVE STORY~ after all! And particularly beautiful people tend to make for particularly beautiful love stories! Don't you agree? Why else would there be a whole slew magazines dedicated to nothing but idols and actors if it wasn't true?
no subject
That sounds kind of risky, though. A little too Shakespeare, even.
Besides, I think we're both honest enough people not to hide anything.
[
....ha]no subject
[...Pfft. He's matching her lie for lie now. He won't press her on the not-hiding-things bit though, because...of course they're both hiding things. They've only just met after all, and if he'd hide things from Mikado, even if it was for his own good, he'd certainly hide things from a near-stranger. Even if she is a beautiful and seemingly kindly one.]
no subject
Consider me jealous, then. [A beat, a quieter smile, and then she offers a hand.]
I'd say this is a happy ending, at least. More "to be continued," though, right?
no subject
Of course! With two stunningly attractive and incredibly interesting and endlessly clever main characters such as you and me, how could there not be countless sequels of the sequel’s sequel? It'll be Return Of then Revenge Of then maybe even Bride Of and Son Of, or if not, maybe just I, II, and III, all the way to XIX!
[And as before, he’ll let her go easily since he’s still really not the grabby type when it comes to The Ladiez.]
But until then, ja ne!
[With a smile and a playful salute, he’ll be taking a few backwards steps before turning and melting into the crowd.]
