"Hmm," was all he said as her lingering hand left his chest, feigning thoughtfulness. About what, he could not say. He'd found that pretending to be thoughtful was the best way to disguise not knowing what to say. Wild animals were a dull topic of conversation for a place like this, anyway. Not as if they came up often very much at home, either, unless they were trying to get at the sheep.

Sipping at his champagne, he looked out at the dancers along with her, voluminous skirts blooming as they twirled. "Then you're in luck," he said, "because I just learned these, myself. I'd be happy to try and teach you. Not that I'm going to be very good at it, since I just learned, and all. We'll be a matched set, tripping all over each other. Maybe folk'll assume we're doing it on purpose."
He clicked his tongue in mock disapproval. "Downright shameful," he chided, "lungs all pink like that. That can't possibly be healthy." He finished off his champagne and handed off the empty flute to a passing server's tray, wondering idly if he could ask for cigarettes.
"Dinétah," he said. "North of what's left of Arizona." He had the feeling she wouldn't have any idea where that was or what it meant, but she'd asked. And she'd finally noticed that she'd forgotten to introduce herself. Maybe he should have found a nickname for her, to match the one she'd given him. Not quite as easy with her outfit, though. "Niyol Sani," he introduced. "Dibé Łizhiní báshíshchíín. Don't worry about it. Should have introduced myself first, come to think of it. Got distracted by a pretty face."
