She didn’t say anything right away to the offer of him teaching her. It was natural for her to be curious; thus, one part of her wanted very much to say yes. She’d never learned the steps before… and yet… one part of her was still uncertain. Judgement did not exist as a rule among her people, and yet… she had always felt they saw her a certain way. The common tongue expression would be, perhaps, on a pedestal. Aye, she felt as though she were on a pedestal; one wrought from dragon scale metal. That part of her was the one that hesitated. It was the same part that made her touch her lips just barely, uncovered fingertips brushing along the pale pink softness.
He distracted her though, pulling gaze again from the plethora of silk and lace when he commented about the cigarette smoke. She blinked once, confused. “It is,” she said plainly. “Healthy, that is. Granted, it wouldn’t afflict me terribly enough to make a difference if I did smoke, but—.” And then she stopped speaking, realizing she’d misjudged his tone and smiled a little lopsided. “You are teasing me,” she affirmed out loud, pausing. She wasn’t accustomed to anyone teasing her. She sighed, but was in a way that sounded as though she wasn't disappointed in anyone but herself. “Do you do that often to women you find attractive? Or just ones you find alone to themselves in a ball that should not exist?” she asked with some playfulness.
He was right. She didn’t know anything about this place once called Arizona. “What is it like?” seemed the most appropriate response. And then she nodded about the name, murmuring it once. It sounded far more musical than her own. But wait no, she’d become distracted as well, hadn’t she? Not yet having answered his question about the dance, she simply offered her hand. “I cannae promise not to step on your toes, but I shall endeavor, nonetheless.” There was no one around she knew to care; while she wasn’t very good at sensing magic just yet… something about this place told her that even if there were anyone to care, they wouldn’t remember anyway.
