Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:02:36 AM)
She accepted the help out, blushing a bit again and thankful she wasn't horribly pale. Holding his hand a moment before letting it go. "Thank you. Well, looks like they're doing more ballroom styled dancing at least so the internet was right."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:05:03 AM)
*Offering a slight chuckle, he walked Azu inside nodding to folks as they entered.* "All's well to me. It'd be terrible to miss such an evening, wouldn't it?" *He looked to Azu out of the corner of his eye.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:06:52 AM)
She nodded and followed along with Nigel looking around, pausing to chat with someone at the 'front' and pay a bit of money to get inside. "It's nice..."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:13:06 AM)
*He smiled lightly as the first song came to it's conclusion. It was definitely a nice place for a dance. The people at the front were inforcing formal attire, so there were no distractions to the evening's entertainment. Not everyone was part of a couple; several men stood nearby the juice table waiting for a thirsty, lone woman to approach. Nigel gave a grin at each of the men passing by that gave eyes to Azu. What an odd look.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:14:02 AM)
"Are you all right?" She asked curiously, she was smiling though, she was light on her feet, and while not the most amazing dancer in the world she wasn't bad either (5 dice for it).
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:18:22 AM)
(( performance, right? ))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:18:47 AM)
(perform dex for dancing I think)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:18:58 AM)
(( well. . . ))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:19:41 AM)
(though some people do perform cha
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:20:04 AM)
(( About that ))
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:20:50 AM)
*Nigel had said he hadn't danced in years, and it showed. While somewhat graceful in his recoveries, it seems pretty apparent that years of sitting at the books has 'damaged his skill' a bit.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:22:33 AM)
She smiled a bit, but didn't say anything about it, seeming happy to be dancing even if she had to slow a bit for him.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:24:45 AM)
"My goodness, too long, I suppose. I apologize, Azu. I thought I'd remember something!" *He grinned extremely shippishly as he looked at his feet as though they were foreign entities.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:26:24 AM)
She laughed at that. "I'm having a lot of fun Nigel. You'll have to come out with me more and get some more practice though I think."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:28:12 AM)
*Attempting not to step on Azu's delicate feet, he chuckled* "Yes, I suppose I should, hm?" *He laughed some more as the song continued, and blushed a bit as the song was over. Blushing looked odd on his pale skin.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:31:15 AM)
She smiled at him, tugging him toward the bar section of the little get together. "It's really obvious when you blush isn't it?" Then not dwelling on it. "Can I get you a drink?"
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:42:04 AM)
(( sorry about that, had some trouble with browsers
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:42:14 AM)
(np)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:42:49 AM)
*He chuckled at her question, nodding.* "A drink? Most certainly. Don't let any of those gentlemen fool you." *He offered a sly wink*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:44:36 AM)
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Canting her head again and leaning on the bar, she ordered herself an apple martini and then looked to Nigel to let him order what he liked.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:45:14 AM)
(( *didn't realize we'd walked over there. One of my other posts was of dudes standing around the juice table ))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:45:44 AM)
(oh, well it could be next to it? so standing like right between the two?)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:46:47 AM)
"Gin and tonic, thanks." *He replied, still looking at Azu as she made the orders.*
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:47:08 AM)
*He did say he was older than he looks . . .*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:47:34 AM)
"Fool me how?" Continuing her earlier question as she looked back at him.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:48:00 AM)
((* that was a less than obvious attempt to avoid that I'd asked that question
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:48:20 AM)
(*so confused*)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:48:25 AM)
(( If they were at the bar already, we wouldn't have said anything, lol
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:48:32 AM)
((* I wouldn't8
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:48:47 AM)
(lol well :P)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:49:51 AM)
She's pull herself up a stool, sitting a moment while she waited. "This is nice." She very much seemed to enjoy being out, certainly one of the more content smiles he's seen on her face.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:51:09 AM)
*Nigel nodded as he threw a quick glance around the room.* "I do hope this isn't someone's reception that we crashed."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:51:30 AM)
She laughed. "It's a charity thing. I paid at the door."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:52:11 AM)
"Ah. Well, in that case, drink up!" *He chuckled, looking at her with an odd smile still. The blushing was gone, at least*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:53:03 AM)
She laughed and passed him his drink when the bartender came with him, holding up her glass. "To thusfar successful meetings."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:54:58 AM)
*Raised his own* "And to a future without tyranny." *Clinking glasses, he sipped some.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:55:23 AM)
She clinked glasses and sipped hers. "Ooh, it's nice."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:57:40 AM)
*He tilted his head a little.* "Eh. Mine's ok. So what inspired you to come out dancing, anyhow? Especially if it's been so long since you're last outting?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:58:27 AM)
"I've been trying to get people to go out dancing with me for months...everyone always seems to be too busy." She answered with a smile. "I figured we're here anyway, we might as well make the most of it."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 12:59:02 AM)
"You wanna try a taste? Sort of like liquid apple jolly ranchers."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 12:59:31 AM)
"Hehe, wonderful idea." *Looking around, he frowned a little.* "So-Oh, uh, sure." *takes a sip, and makes a sour face.* "Wow, yeah it does."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:00:23 AM)
"You don't like it?" She smiled some at the sour face, taking her own drink back to sip again lightly.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:03:41 AM)
"Guess I wasn't expecting it that sour." *Smoothing out his face with a little effort.* "I've had them before, but they must like the sour mix" *taking a sip of his own seemed to help a bit.* "So, I was going to ask, why didn't you invite the others? Scott, Faith and them?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:05:05 AM)
She blushed a little. "People seemed busy, and Scott...he seems to mean well but isn't the best social person if you know what I mean."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:09:15 AM)
"Besides, I like to be around you...even when you're excited it's relaxing...I dunno...I'm weird. Don't mind me." Blushing enough to be noticable that time, sipping at her drink again.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:09:33 AM)
"Mmm. I see." *He looked at Azu a little more carefully, and watched the flame lit under her cheeks grow a bit.* "I don't mind you, no fear."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:10:57 AM)
She nodded, offering a bit of a smile at that. "Up for another dance when a waltz comes up?"
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:12:13 AM)
"Definitely!" *He took another sip, and place a light arm around her shoulders. So comfy*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:13:35 AM)
She smiled more at that, relaxing a little. "Good, hopefully my feet will survive." Offering a wink.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:16:21 AM)
*Looking down at his shoes and back at her.* "I hope so; these shoes look prepared to do some damage. I'll take care when I can."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:17:25 AM)
She grinned. "Well, again, I'm glad to be out dancing at all. I don't know much complex stuff but I can certainly help get you back up to par on basics. It's lovely to dance again."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:20:17 AM)
*He grinned back.* "It is lovely dancing again. As for the help, I guess I could use a little tutelage on the matter."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:21:17 AM)
"Least I can do if you help me with the horrible torment that is accounting class."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:22:45 AM)
"haha! Most certainly! THough I think I'm escaping the easier of the tasks there. Oh! That's our queue!" *Nigel practically drags Azu out the floor excitedly.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:23:47 AM)
She grins and sets her glass down, not much able to fight the tugging but didn't want to so that made it easier. Following along, grinning at his attitude.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:32:18 AM)
*He danced his little Sidhe heart out. Being more relaxed about it helped a lot, but he still moved a bit oddly about the floor.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:34:01 AM)
She grinned, still keeping a similiar level of grace as before. Seeming quite delighted to be dancing.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:39:48 AM)
*As the song ended, Nigel let out a tired sigh and chuckled as he walked off the floor, shaking his head and scooping up the drink without a second thought.* "I desperatey need to get into better shape!"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:42:04 AM)
She orders a new drink instad of picking back up the one she had...she'd been to enough clubs to be wary. "I know that feeling Nigel." She was a little winded herself but not quite too bad. (she is working toward stam 3 after all)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:42:33 AM)
(( Nigel will die before getting stam 3, lol))

Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:46:35 AM)
(oh lol)
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:48:04 AM)
(well she'll have 7 dots in arts and 12 dots in realms as of the latest request when it goes through)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:48:33 AM)
(( 5 in arts and 7 in realms when it's done ))
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:49:02 AM)
(heh well, give it a few months)
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:49:11 AM)
((In all realism, Nigel isn't that concerned about the realms outside of Fae. It's the dreaming stuff he's worried about

Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:49:43 AM)

(( Indecisive, or decidedly desiring all of it? ))

Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:51:32 AM)
"It's still lovely to get out and waltz again. I've yet to find anyone at all that knows how to jive or swing."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:51:51 AM)
"Well not for years."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:52:23 AM)
"I would lie and say that I know both . . ." *He paused, and shook his head.* "But I've yet to learn them. Dare I say I'd be even worse!"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:54:34 AM)
"Jiving isn't too bad...swing could be painful if you haven't done it before and tried some of the tosses."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 1:55:16 AM)
"Tosses? Oh my!" *He looked nervous at the thought.* "No offense, I'd like to put that one on the back burner. Tossing ladies around hardly sounds safe at all!"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 1:55:46 AM)
She laughed. "It's fun though once you get the hang of it."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:00:13 AM)
*Raised a wary eyebrow.* "Maybe I'll learn where my feet are before learning how to throw people. I'm sure the bluefolk are very skilled at swing." *He asked the tender for a refill.* "So, I've been meaning to ask you about your little trip the other day. And Egypt." *He slid in 'Egypt' very quietly, knowing she could hear but obviously not wanted to make her too uncomfortable*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:01:15 AM)
She nodded a little, sobering a bit but not that much. "Yes?"
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:04:20 AM)
*He thought long and hard about his next question, sighing several times before finally coming to an initial question:* "Why did you look at me with so much fear?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:05:38 AM)
"I...wasn't seeing you..." She shook her head. "I...was seeing something else...another time...it wasn't even you from that time...later I think somehow I realized it was you...it seemed to draw me out of. Well...whatever that was."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:08:43 AM)
"What was his name? The one who protected you?" *He was slowly approaching question mode, but he appeared to be fighting it.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:11:32 AM)
"Beldaris. It's the only name I remember anyway. It's all very broken up and hard to make out...but I think he saved me."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:12:57 AM)
*He chuckled a little to himself and shook his head as he took a bit longer of a sip.* "Azu, you know that's me, right? That's my real name. Thus, it really was me."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:13:56 AM)
She blushed a little again. "I thought it might be...I mean...you look the same...well he was a little older...but otherwise almost just the same. It's why I sort of acted like a complete idiot when we first met."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:15:31 AM)
"It certainly explains a few things, doesn't it . . ." *Looking off a bit, his face a strange mix. What might be expected to be confusion, or frustration was instead happiness, with wonder.* "See that . . . that right there opens many doors. For you -and- me."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:16:30 AM)
She blushed a bit more again, sipping her drink. "I'm glad I was able to talk to you about it honestly, it's been something I've been fretting over for a while."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:18:50 AM)
"Fretting? My goodness, Azu, do I behave like some stuffy noble, pointing my accusing finger about?" *He laughed a little.* "if that's the image I'm giving off, I may need to change tactics a tad, and quickly."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:19:09 AM)
"Someone will start giving me more responsibility if that were the case. No thank you." *sip*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:20:00 AM)
She shook her head with a laugh. "No, I mean...well...think about. "Excuse me, I know you're new to town and all but I think you saved me in another lifetime a few thousand years ago. What do you think about that?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:20:10 AM)
"Can't really just walk up and say that."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:21:40 AM)
*Nigel shrugged* "Can't walk away from that sort of hook, now can you?" *He snickered some as he sipped some more* "You'll get my inner workings someday, but in the mean time? That very much works."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:22:31 AM)
She blushed. "Well, I know you didn't really seem to remember me...and that...I just don't want to make things awkward."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:24:13 AM)
"Awkward? Do you recall something else that might be awkward?" *Immediately he regretted saying it, and he leaned away with a pained expression.* "I am so sorry, you don't have to answer that. Where's my foot, AH, yes . . ." *SIP*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:25:44 AM)
She sipped her own drink, very obviously blushing even with her mocha skin tone. "I don't remember anything that specific...just little things...but it seems more comes back the more I'm around you."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:28:53 AM)
"If that is the case, then I'll be glad to stick around." *He looked at her with a friendly, innocent smile.* "I must warn, though. I will step on toes and make for awkward conversation. Are you up for that?"
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:30:29 AM)
She smiled some over her drink, nodding. "I think it sounds nice. I like your conversation, awkward as it is. And I'll teach you to step on toes a bit less yes?" Voice teasing.
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:31:39 AM)
"If you think you can, Miss Ongokos." *His accent seemed to change slightly when he pronounced her name. Maybe he did have the potential to learn new languages? He finished off his drink, and offered the floor to her.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:32:50 AM)
She finished her drink and offered her hand to walk with him. "Goodness, last names...I much prefer Azu."
Nigel Ambrose (Mar 20, 2011 2:34:44 AM)
"I suppose, then Azu." *He smiled.*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 20, 2011 2:38:45 AM)
She grinned. "Unless you want me to start calling you Professor Ambrose." Teasing as she headed back out for more dancing and fun. (figure leave it there)
