[Lance raises his eyebrows at that, but he doesn't say anything about it.

He leans back on the empty bed, tilting his head.]

Well, I figured I can at least keep you company. That shouldn't be too hard.

[highelves]

Oh, well...

[ she feels bad?? like, he came all this way here and she shouldn't just bore him but all she has are books... no board games or anything...rip. ]

That's very considerate of you. And this time, we won't have any alcohol.

[ she laughs.... ]

[thegoofball]

I think things are better without it.

[Laughs...]

I can stay on my feet like this.

[highelves]

Oh, absolutely. That certainly was...a time, wasn't it?

[ she huffs a little. ]

I'm fairly certain I was hungover the next morning. [ ... ] It was fun, though. Not the hangover, of course -- the dancing.

[thegoofball]

I don't know if that really counted as dancing.

[He smirks.]

But it was fun, though. Even if the next morning was a little rough.

[highelves]

[ she chuckles, bringing her legs up onto her bed. she hugs her knees to her chest. ]

It was. Now I know not to try the punch at prom next year, at least. ... Though, there is something I've been meaning to ask you...

[thegoofball]

[He tilts his head.]

What is it?

[Is it about how he's so cool, he bets it's about how he's so cool.]

[highelves]

[ no fuck you ]

There's no pressure to do so of course, but... If you'd like to sometime, I'd like a redo of that night.

[ ... ] The dancing, I mean, and sober.

[thegoofball]

[Wow!!!]

A redo?

[Lance blinks, before letting out a laugh.]

Yeah, sure, I could go for a redo on the dancing.

[highelves]

[ wait she wasn't prepared for him to say yes ]

Wait, really?

[thegoofball]

Yeah, why not?

[Ana please...Don't offer things like this if you're not intending on backing them up!]

[highelves]

[ listen she's fine with this!!! she's just surprised he agreed!!! ]

Alright, then.

[ she scrolls through her phone. ]

Any song requests, Lance?

[thegoofball]

[Of course he agreed!!]

Surprise me.

[He pushes himself up off the bed, holding a hand out to her.]

[highelves]

Alright.

[ she does a bit of searching before she settles on a norah jones song. she rises to her feet and smiles a little wider when she takes his hand. ]

Does this work?

[thegoofball]

It works perfectly.

[He feels...more awkward, now that he's doing this sober, but he steps close and starts off slowly.]

[highelves]

[ so does she. she sets her hands on his shoulders and follows his lead, letting out a little laugh. ]

So...

[thegoofball]

So?

[He doesn't do anything too flashy, this time, mostly focused on keeping them on beat. At least Ana's not flailing.]

[highelves]

[ wow!!!!! ]

Nothing. This is just...nice.

[thegoofball]

It is, isn't it?

[highelves]

Much better than regular dancing, anyway.

[ she chuckles. ]

How have you been, by the way?

[thegoofball]

[You just say that because you're bad at dancing, Ana.]

I've been okay. Kind of...regretting that I didn't get to join everyone at the big fight.

[highelves]

[ ah. she frowns a little. ]

Why is that?

[thegoofball]

Well...

[He hesitates, before letting out a breath.]

Everyone was there, doing their part, but I...didn't do anything. At all.

[highelves]

You shouldn't feel guilty.

[ she closes her eyes, still moving to the music, but... ]

It was...a lot, out there. If you didn't feel as though you were ready, nobody will fault you for it.

[thegoofball]

But I could have helped. I don't think any of us were ready for it, so that's not...really a good excuse.
